Forex trading: A beginner's guide
Forex is a portmanteau of foreign currency and exchange. Foreign exchange is the process of changing one currency into another currency for a variety of reasons, usually for commerce, trading, or tourism. According to a recent triennial report from the bank for international settlements (a global bank for national central banks), the average was more than $5.1 trillion in daily forex trading volume.
Key takeaways
- The foreign exchange (also known as FX or forex) market is a global marketplace for exchanging national currencies against one another.
- Because of the worldwide reach of trade, commerce, and finance, forex markets tend to be the largest and most liquid asset markets in the world.
- Currencies trade against each other as exchange rate pairs. For example, EUR/USD.
- Forex markets exist as spot (cash) markets as well as derivatives markets offering forwards, futures, options, and currency swaps.
- Market participants use forex to hedge against international currency and interest rate risk, to speculate on geopolitical events, and to diversify portfolios, among several other reasons.
What is the forex market?
The foreign exchange market is where currencies are traded. Currencies are important to most people around the world, whether they realize it or not, because currencies need to be exchanged in order to conduct foreign trade and business. If you are living in the U.S. And want to buy cheese from france, either you or the company that you buy the cheese from has to pay the french for the cheese in euros (EUR). This means that the U.S. Importer would have to exchange the equivalent value of U.S. Dollars (USD) into euros. The same goes for traveling. A french tourist in egypt can't pay in euros to see the pyramids because it's not the locally accepted currency. As such, the tourist has to exchange the euros for the local currency, in this case the egyptian pound, at the current exchange rate.
One unique aspect of this international market is that there is no central marketplace for foreign exchange. Rather, currency trading is conducted electronically over-the-counter (OTC), which means that all transactions occur via computer networks between traders around the world, rather than on one centralized exchange. The market is open 24 hours a day, five and a half days a week, and currencies are traded worldwide in the major financial centers of london, new york, tokyo, zurich, frankfurt, hong kong, singapore, paris and sydney—across almost every time zone. This means that when the trading day in the U.S. Ends, the forex market begins anew in tokyo and hong kong. As such, the forex market can be extremely active any time of the day, with price quotes changing constantly.
A brief history of forex
Unlike stock markets, which can trace their roots back centuries, the forex market as we understand it today is a truly new market. Of course, in its most basic sense—that of people converting one currency to another for financial advantage—forex has been around since nations began minting currencies. But the modern forex markets are a modern invention. After the accord at bretton woods in 1971, more major currencies were allowed to float freely against one another. The values of individual currencies vary, which has given rise to the need for foreign exchange services and trading.
Commercial and investment banks conduct most of the trading in the forex markets on behalf of their clients, but there are also speculative opportunities for trading one currency against another for professional and individual investors.
Spot market and the forwards & futures markets
There are actually three ways that institutions, corporations and individuals trade forex: the spot market, the forwards market, and the futures market. Forex trading in the spot market has always been the largest market because it is the "underlying" real asset that the forwards and futures markets are based on. In the past, the futures market was the most popular venue for traders because it was available to individual investors for a longer period of time. However, with the advent of electronic trading and numerous forex brokers, the spot market has witnessed a huge surge in activity and now surpasses the futures market as the preferred trading market for individual investors and speculators. When people refer to the forex market, they usually are referring to the spot market. The forwards and futures markets tend to be more popular with companies that need to hedge their foreign exchange risks out to a specific date in the future.
More specifically, the spot market is where currencies are bought and sold according to the current price. That price, determined by supply and demand, is a reflection of many things, including current interest rates, economic performance, sentiment towards ongoing political situations (both locally and internationally), as well as the perception of the future performance of one currency against another. When a deal is finalized, this is known as a "spot deal." it is a bilateral transaction by which one party delivers an agreed-upon currency amount to the counter party and receives a specified amount of another currency at the agreed-upon exchange rate value. After a position is closed, the settlement is in cash. Although the spot market is commonly known as one that deals with transactions in the present (rather than the future), these trades actually take two days for settlement.
Unlike the spot market, the forwards and futures markets do not trade actual currencies. Instead they deal in contracts that represent claims to a certain currency type, a specific price per unit and a future date for settlement.
In the forwards market, contracts are bought and sold OTC between two parties, who determine the terms of the agreement between themselves.
In the futures market, futures contracts are bought and sold based upon a standard size and settlement date on public commodities markets, such as the chicago mercantile exchange. In the U.S., the national futures association regulates the futures market. Futures contracts have specific details, including the number of units being traded, delivery and settlement dates, and minimum price increments that cannot be customized. The exchange acts as a counterpart to the trader, providing clearance and settlement.
Both types of contracts are binding and are typically settled for cash at the exchange in question upon expiry, although contracts can also be bought and sold before they expire. The forwards and futures markets can offer protection against risk when trading currencies. Usually, big international corporations use these markets in order to hedge against future exchange rate fluctuations, but speculators take part in these markets as well.
Note that you'll often see the terms: FX, forex, foreign-exchange market, and currency market. These terms are synonymous and all refer to the forex market.
Forex for hedging
Companies doing business in foreign countries are at risk due to fluctuations in currency values when they buy or sell goods and services outside of their domestic market. Foreign exchange markets provide a way to hedge currency risk by fixing a rate at which the transaction will be completed.
To accomplish this, a trader can buy or sell currencies in the forward or swap markets in advance, which locks in an exchange rate. For example, imagine that a company plans to sell U.S.-made blenders in europe when the exchange rate between the euro and the dollar (EUR/USD) is €1 to $1 at parity.
The blender costs $100 to manufacture, and the U.S. Firm plans to sell it for €150—which is competitive with other blenders that were made in europe. If this plan is successful, the company will make $50 in profit because the EUR/USD exchange rate is even. Unfortunately, the USD begins to rise in value versus the euro until the EUR/USD exchange rate is 0.80, which means it now costs $0.80 to buy €1.00.
The problem the company faces is that while it still costs $100 to make the blender, the company can only sell the product at the competitive price of €150, which when translated back into dollars is only $120 (€150 X 0.80 = $120). A stronger dollar resulted in a much smaller profit than expected.
The blender company could have reduced this risk by shorting the euro and buying the USD when they were at parity. That way, if the dollar rose in value, the profits from the trade would offset the reduced profit from the sale of blenders. If the USD fell in value, the more favorable exchange rate will increase the profit from the sale of blenders, which offsets the losses in the trade.
Hedging of this kind can be done in the currency futures market. The advantage for the trader is that futures contracts are standardized and cleared by a central authority. However, currency futures may be less liquid than the forward markets, which are decentralized and exist within the interbank system throughout the world.
Forex for speculation
Factors like interest rates, trade flows, tourism, economic strength, and geopolitical risk affect supply and demand for currencies, which creates daily volatility in the forex markets. An opportunity exists to profit from changes that may increase or reduce one currency's value compared to another. A forecast that one currency will weaken is essentially the same as assuming that the other currency in the pair will strengthen because currencies are traded as pairs.
Imagine a trader who expects interest rates to rise in the U.S. Compared to australia while the exchange rate between the two currencies (AUD/USD) is 0.71 (it takes $0.71 USD to buy $1.00 AUD). The trader believes higher interest rates in the U.S. Will increase demand for USD, and therefore the AUD/USD exchange rate will fall because it will require fewer, stronger USD to buy an AUD.
Assume that the trader is correct and interest rates rise, which decreases the AUD/USD exchange rate to 0.50. This means that it requires $0.50 USD to buy $1.00 AUD. If the investor had shorted the AUD and went long the USD, he or she would have profited from the change in value.
Currency as an asset class
There are two distinct features to currencies as an asset class:
- You can earn the interest rate differential between two currencies.
- You can profit from changes in the exchange rate.
An investor can profit from the difference between two interest rates in two different economies by buying the currency with the higher interest rate and shorting the currency with the lower interest rate. Prior to the 2008 financial crisis, it was very common to short the japanese yen (JPY) and buy british pounds (GBP) because the interest rate differential was very large. This strategy is sometimes referred to as a "carry trade."
Why we can trade currencies
Currency trading was very difficult for individual investors prior to the internet. Most currency traders were large multinational corporations, hedge funds or high-net-worth individuals because forex trading required a lot of capital. With help from the internet, a retail market aimed at individual traders has emerged, providing easy access to the foreign exchange markets, either through the banks themselves or brokers making a secondary market. Most online brokers or dealers offer very high leverage to individual traders who can control a large trade with a small account balance.
Forex trading: A beginner’s guide
Forex trading risks
Trading currencies can be risky and complex. The interbank market has varying degrees of regulation, and forex instruments are not standardized. In some parts of the world, forex trading is almost completely unregulated.
The interbank market is made up of banks trading with each other around the world. The banks themselves have to determine and accept sovereign risk and credit risk, and they have established internal processes to keep themselves as safe as possible. Regulations like this are industry-imposed for the protection of each participating bank.
Since the market is made by each of the participating banks providing offers and bids for a particular currency, the market pricing mechanism is based on supply and demand. Because there are such large trade flows within the system, it is difficult for rogue traders to influence the price of a currency. This system helps create transparency in the market for investors with access to interbank dealing.
Most small retail traders trade with relatively small and semi-unregulated forex brokers/dealers, which can (and sometimes do) re-quote prices and even trade against their own customers. Depending on where the dealer exists, there may be some government and industry regulation, but those safeguards are inconsistent around the globe.
Most retail investors should spend time investigating a forex dealer to find out whether it is regulated in the U.S. Or the U.K. (dealers in the U.S. And U.K. Have more oversight) or in a country with lax rules and oversight. It is also a good idea to find out what kind of account protections are available in case of a market crisis, or if a dealer becomes insolvent.
Pros and challenges of trading forex
Pro: the forex markets are the largest in terms of daily trading volume in the world and therefore offer the most liquidity. this makes it easy to enter and exit a position in any of the major currencies within a fraction of a second for a small spread in most market conditions.
Challenge: banks, brokers, and dealers in the forex markets allow a high amount of leverage, which means that traders can control large positions with relatively little money of their own. Leverage in the range of 100:1 is a high ratio but not uncommon in forex. A trader must understand the use of leverage and the risks that leverage introduces in an account. Extreme amounts of leverage have led to many dealers becoming insolvent unexpectedly.
Pro: the forex market is traded 24 hours a day, five days a week—starting each day in australia and ending in new york. The major centers are sydney, hong kong, singapore, tokyo, frankfurt, paris, london, and new york.
Challenge: trading currencies productively requires an understanding of economic fundamentals and indicators. A currency trader needs to have a big-picture understanding of the economies of the various countries and their inter-connectedness to grasp the fundamentals that drive currency values.
The bottom line
For traders—especially those with limited funds—day trading or swing trading in small amounts is easier in the forex market than other markets. For those with longer-term horizons and larger funds, long-term fundamentals-based trading or a carry trade can be profitable. A focus on understanding the macroeconomic fundamentals driving currency values and experience with technical analysis may help new forex traders to become more profitable.

Which online broker is best for beginners?
TD ameritrade is the best all-around choice for beginners because it provides the best combination of ease of use, educational content, and research tools new investors need to succeed. Better yet, stock trades are free ($0).
What is paper trading?
Paper trading, or virtual trading, is a trading platform feature that enables trading stocks, etfs, and options with fake money. Popular with beginners, paper trading is a great way to practice trading without risking real money. The two top-rated brokers that offer paper trading are TD ameritrade and E*TRADE.

How do you buy stocks online?
To buy stocks, first, you need to open and fund an online brokerage account. Next, research which stock you want to buy. Last, go to the order ticket, enter the stock symbol along with the number of shares you want to buy, then place your trade.
What is the best trading app for beginners?
For beginners, our favorite trading apps are fidelity and TD ameritrade. Fidelity provides the best market research and stock analysis, alongside an in-depth learning center. Meanwhile, TD ameritrade offers the most thorough selection of trading tools while providing its entire educational videos library for beginners with simple filtering by topic.
What are fractional shares?
A fractional share is a portion of a full share of a publicly-traded company. Fractional shares enable investors to purchase shares of a company they might not otherwise be able to afford. For example, instead of needing over $2,000 to buy one amazon (AMZN) share, a trader could purchase a $100 fractional share (1/20th of a share). Fidelity, charles schwab, interactive brokers, and robinhood are the only online brokers that offer fractional shares trading.
What is a market order?
A market order is an order to buy or sell a security (e.G., stock) at the current best available market price. Market orders are the most common type of order because they are the fastest and easiest way to buy and sell shares.
What is a limit order?
A limit order is an order to buy or sell a security at a pre-specified price or better. Since limit orders are fixed to a pre-specified price, they will only fill when the limit price is reached. Limit orders are best when you know the exact price you want to buy or sell.
Is online trading safe?
Online trading is safe if you use a regulated online stock broker and never invest more than you are willing to lose. Trading stocks online is inherently risky. Start with a small amount of money, read investing books, and keep it simple by buying and holding for the long term.
Summary
To recap, here are the best trading platforms for beginners.

Your complete beginner’s guide to trading options
When it comes to investing, there is simply no better way to ramp up your profit potential than to trade options. With options, you can collect big gains in just a matter of days, or even hours.
That's why we're bringing you the complete guide to options trading for beginners to help get you started today…
Plus, options trading can be a lot more fun – especially when the profits start rolling in.
What is options trading?
When you buy options, you're not buying shares of a company. You're paying for the right to buy (or sell) shares at a certain price on a certain date. So you only have to pay pennies on the dollar relative to the share price.
Instead of buying 10 shares of a stock, you could buy options for 100 or 200 shares. Instead of buying 100 shares, you could trade options on 1,000 or 2,000 shares.
Then, when the share price goes your way, you end up with a much bigger gain than if you had just bought shares in the company. Let’s see an example of how to trade options and how much bigger of a profit this could mean.
How does options trading work?
Let's look at yelp inc. (NYSE: YELP), which rose from $44.83 to $47.92 between april 18 and may 9 last year.
If you just owned shares in yelp, that's a 6.9% gain. Not much to write home about. Even worse, if you had held onto those shares, you would have watched that gain get wiped out a few months later. As of early august 2019, shares in yelp are trading more than 20% below that april 18, 2018 price.
That's pretty disappointing. But if you had followed a tip from money morning's options trading specialist, tom gentile, you would have fared much better.
7-day cash course: with the secrets in this video series, you could potentially start collecting anywhere from $1,190, $1,313, and even $2,830 in consistent income – each and every week. And it can be yours for only $1…
Tom didn't see yelp as a stock to buy and hold. But he saw that its shares had a history of moving just before its earnings date, which was coming up on may 10. So it was a good bet to do that again.
The idea here is buy the rumor, sell the news. Yelp's price often climbed in anticipation of an earnings beat. But even if it did beat expectations, enthusiasm often waned soon after, and the price fell back down. So the key for tom's pick was to get out on may 9, before earnings were announced and before the gains were lost.
And what really made the pick a major profit opportunity was that he recommended buying an option on yelp rather than buying shares directly. Tom predicted the shares might rise a modest 5% or 10%. But an option could give you a 50% gain or more.
Sure enough, the call option tom recommended was trading around $3 a share on april 18. By may 9, the exit date, it was up to $4.92.
That's a 64% gain in just three weeks!
Pull off a trade like that just once a month and you could turn $500 into nearly $10,000 in six months – or $190,000 in a year.
That's the profit power of options trading.
How do you trade options?
Before we get deeper into the money to be made from trading options, you'll want to know some of the details of how to trade options.
Fortunately, these aren't as tough to grasp as you might think…
An option is just what it sounds like: it's the option to buy (or sell) a certain amount of shares in a company on a certain date and at a certain price.
The trick, of course, is that no one really knows what those shares will be worth when that date comes around. So the option goes up and down in value based on the specified buy or sell price (called the "strike" price) relative to the current trading price of the stock.
Say, for example, you have an option to buy a stock on sept. 30 for $50 a share. If that date comes around and the stock is trading for $100 a share, that's $50 of built-in profit for each share when you exercise the option.
Of course, option contracts come in bundles of 100 shares a piece. And rather than go through the trouble of buying $5,000 worth of stock just to immediately sell it for $10,000, it's easier to sell the option – that is, close your position – before it expires.
According to the options clearing corp., nearly 70% of options are closed before expiration. Only about 12% are exercised. The rest expire without being exercised.
So in most cases, you will be closing out your options position before the expiration date.
Before we move on to the different types of options, let's get a few key terms out of the way…
- The strike price is the price at which the option holder can buy or sell the shares in question at the expiration date.
- "in the money" means the price of the stock is favorable to the option holder. So if you have an option to buy a stock at a strike price of $50, and the current share price is $55, you are in the money.
- "at the money" means the share price is the same as (or very close to) the strike price. And "out of the money" means the share price is unfavorable to the option holder.
- The premium is the price of the option: it's the "premium" you pay for the right to buy the shares at the strike price. The premium will be higher for in-the-money options than for out-of-the-money options. And as the option's position gets better, the premium goes up, allowing you to sell for a higher price before expiration.
Note that the premium is the price per share of the stock in question. Since most options are sold in bundles of 100 shares, you have to multiply the premium price by 100 to get the actual price of an option contract.
As we mentioned earlier, sometimes an option gives you the right to buy a stock at a certain price, and sometimes it gives you the right to sell a stock at a certain price. And for every option holder, there's also someone on the other end who's on the hook if the holder exercises the option to buy or sell at the expiration date. Those are the basics of how to trade options.
That brings us to puts and calls…
What are puts and calls in options trading?
There are two basic types of options…
- A call option gives the holder the right to buy shares at a specified strike price. Generally you would buy a call option if you expect the stock's share price to rise between now and the expiration date. When that happens, the value of the option rises and you can sell for a profit.
- A put option gives the holder the right to sell shares at the strike price. You would buy this kind of option when you expect the share price to fall. As the share price falls below the strike price, the option will increase in value and allow the holder to profit.
So it's pretty simple: if you're betting on a stock to rise, buy a call option. If you're betting on a stock to fall, buy a put option.
As we said, most options are closed out before expiration. But when an option does reach expiration, and the holder wants to exercise it, who do they buy the shares from (or sell the shares to)?
That would be the option writer.
What is an option writer?
An option writer sells an option contract with the hope that it won't be exercised. If it's not, they collect the premium paid without ever having to put up any money themselves.
Sounds like a great gig, and anyone can do it. But before you think about getting into option writing, you should be aware that the risk involved is very different than simply buying options.
When you trade options, you can't lose more than you pay up front. And it's pretty unlikely that you'll lose it all, since even if the option goes bad you can typically close out before it becomes worthless.
Your potential reward, however, is limitless. The more the share price moves in your favor, the more money you'll collect.
Learn how to trade like the pros: tom gentile just recorded all of his most potentially lucrative trading secrets in america's no. 1 pattern trader cash course. This could set you up for life – and it'll only cost you $1…
For the option writer, the risk-reward ratio is exactly the opposite. The most money they can collect is the premium paid for the option. The option writer is hoping the option will be worthless, so they can keep the premium and not have to pay anything in return.
But if the share price goes against the option writer, the potential losses are limitless.
That doesn't mean you should avoid option writing at all costs: it can be highly profitable. But if you're just starting out, you'll probably want to stick to basic buying and trading until you get comfortable.
With that out of the way, it's time to start making serious money…
How to trade options to make money
There is one simple rule for making money in options: keep your emotions out of it.
That means you want to set your exit points at the beginning.
If the stock hits a certain price on the way up, you sell your option. If it hits a certain price on the way down, you sell your option.
Yes, for any one trade, you might miss out on bigger gains. Or you might take a bigger loss than if you had held on longer.
But over time, and over many trades, setting your exit points and sticking to them will work out in your favor.
Conversely, if you find yourself letting emotion take over, you are virtually guaranteed to run into trouble. It might work out in your favor once or twice. But sooner or later the odds will catch up to you, and you'll be kicking yourself for not being more disciplined.
So with that mindset, the obvious question is: what options should you buy?
The short answer is: you should buy options on stocks that are ready to move.
And finding those stocks that are ready to move isn't all that different from traditional investing. Every trader is going to find the strategy that works best for them. And you can feel free to experiment with small amounts of money as you learn the ropes.
If you want a simple strategy to get started, try to trade options during earnings season…
Earnings season is a prime time for stock price movements. These movements are often irrational but predictable.
The situation with yelp we described earlier is a perfect illustration. Yelp had a history of earnings beats. Investors would push the share price up in anticipation of the earnings announcement, and then sell after the announcement. This was true even when yelp beat expectations.
Here's a great example of how important it is to set your exit point and stick to it. If you get excited by the share price moving in your favor and decide to hold onto it longer hoping for bigger gains, you could end up quickly losing your gains instead.
But as long as you stay disciplined, this is a relatively easy and low-risk options strategy for the beginning trader.
If you want to get a little more complicated, you can use a straddle. This technique lets you profit from a stock that you're pretty sure is going to make a big movement, but you're not sure whether it's going to be up or down.
To execute the straddle, you buy both call and put options on a stock, with identical strike prices. That way, as long as the share price moves significantly, you can profit regardless of the direction.
When it comes time to close, you'll close out one losing position and one winning position. If you've picked well, the winning position will more than cover your losses.
All this might seem daunting at first. But you'll probably find after a few trades that it's not so difficult to get the hang of options trading. And when you do, you'll find that you can make a lot more money in a lot less time than you can with traditional investing.
We won't leave you hanging, either. Keep checking in with money morning for more tips on how to trade options. And follow along with tom gentile for his expert advice.
If you really want to maximize your profits, tom's seven-day cash course covers all the essential trading ideas you need to know to do just that.
Not only will tom review the basics, he'll share dozens of his most lucrative secrets to potentially start collecting anywhere from $1,190, $1,313, and even $2,830 in consistent income – each and every week.
This is the quickest, most effective way to go from novice to expert trader and to enjoy the financial benefits that go with it.
All of this and more can be yours for only $1.

TD ameritrade is the best all-around choice for beginners because it provides the best combination of ease of use, educational content, and research tools new investors need to succeed. Better yet, stock trades are free ($0).
What is paper trading?
Paper trading, or virtual trading, is a trading platform feature that enables trading stocks, etfs, and options with fake money. Popular with beginners, paper trading is a great way to practice trading without risking real money. The two top-rated brokers that offer paper trading are TD ameritrade and E*TRADE.
Which trading platform is best for beginners?
The best trading platform for beginners is power E*TRADE. E*TRADE offers power E*TRADE as both a browser platform and mobile app. Power E*TRADE is excellent for beginners because it provides paper trading, HTML5 charts with automated technical analysis, and screening tools for both stocks and options.
How do you buy stocks online?
To buy stocks, first, you need to open and fund an online brokerage account. Next, research which stock you want to buy. Last, go to the order ticket, enter the stock symbol along with the number of shares you want to buy, then place your trade.
What is the best trading app for beginners?
For beginners, our favorite trading apps are fidelity and TD ameritrade. Fidelity provides the best market research and stock analysis, alongside an in-depth learning center.

What are fractional shares?
A fractional share is a portion of a full share of a publicly-traded company. Fractional shares enable investors to purchase shares of a company they might not otherwise be able to afford. For example, instead of needing over $2,000 to buy one amazon (AMZN) share, a trader could purchase a $100 fractional share (1/20th of a share). Fidelity, charles schwab, interactive brokers, and robinhood are the only online brokers that offer fractional shares trading.
What is a market order?
A market order is an order to buy or sell a security (e.G., stock) at the current best available market price. Market orders are the most common type of order because they are the fastest and easiest way to buy and sell shares.
What is a limit order?
A limit order is an order to buy or sell a security at a pre-specified price or better. Since limit orders are fixed to a pre-specified price, they will only fill when the limit price is reached. Limit orders are best when you know the exact price you want to buy or sell.
Is online trading safe?
Online trading is safe if you use a regulated online stock broker and never invest more than you are willing to lose. Trading stocks online is inherently risky. Start with a small amount of money, read investing books, and keep it simple by buying and holding for the long term.
Summary
To recap, here are the best trading platforms for beginners.
