Margin trading is a trading with borrowed funds. The idea of such a trading is to borrow money from a broker and trade with funds greatly exceeding trader’s own. This pledge is called margin. Margin funds are measured by the currency of deposit (for instance, US dollar). Margin depends on liquidity of a trading instrument (products). The essential part of the margin trading mechanism is to provide a leverage. To calculate margin-based leverage, divide the margin amount by the total value of a transaction. For example, the ratio 1:100 shows that in order you can trade, the balance of your trading account have to be 100 times less than the value of a transaction.
Popular article: Trading the news
Trading the news is one of the easiest and most popular strategies on the Internet. Most of all, it is recommended to novice Forex traders, but many professional traders also trade the news. Its simplicity lures. What could be simpler? The trader looks through the economic calendar, chooses a highly volatile economic news, waits for its release, and then, trades according to the published data. If the rates are worse than expected, the trader sells the currency of the country, where the economic rate is negative and vice versa. However, even despite such simplicity, a trader can fail. The GBP / USD currency pair has always been considered one of the most difficult pairs to forecast, and April – May 2015 confirmed this.
