What is forex trading?

"Forex" is an abbreviation for "Foreign Exchange", and refers to the trading of cash currencies.
Many people don't realize that currencies are traded similarly to stock trading. Since the value of all countries' currencies fluctuates continuously against other currencies, there are opportunities to make profits from it.

Advantages of trading forex as a home business.
There are many advantages of forex trading, including:
- You can adapt your participation according to your schedule
The forex market is open 24 hours a day, Monday through Friday, unlike the stock market or any other business where you have to work during 'office hours'. In forex trading you can even work in the middle of the night if you wish.

- Big market

Forex trading is the largest market in the world. It outperforms all other markets, including the stock market. This means that there will always be an opportunity for anyone who wants to participate. The volume of daily transactions is approaching 4 trillion dollars!

- Limited barriers to entry

It takes no more than $100 to start trading forex. If you can make that small amount of money, even if it requires you to sell a small boat or sell some of your own stuff on eBay or Craigslist. Then you can jump into forex trading.
Some pitfalls to be aware of.
You should be aware of these potential problems if you decide to enter the forex market:

- Make investment decisions based on emotion, not logic

Like any other type of investment, it is very easy to get caught up in the great money-making potential. Nevertheless, you should set some restrictions for yourself, on top of which is not to use the money that you will need to pay for living expenses.

- Investing without sufficient knowledge of the playing field

No serious athlete would grab a baseball bat or enter the basketball court without a full understanding of the “rules of the game.” Likewise, you should never venture into any kind of investment without having the same level of understanding.

- Trading very intensively

Although there are no "commissions" when trading forex, you will still be responsible for paying the "spread", which is the difference between the ask price and the bid price. If you make a lot of trades, this spread can be a real cost. So make sure you understand the costs of trades before making them.
