There are many benefits for traders to chose the Forex as their main preferred trading instrument:
- First of all the leverage potential is a massive, there are many amounts available even as much as 400:1. This means a trader with a $50,000 trading account could achieve the maximum of exposure of $20 million.
- No commissions or brokerage (brokers make their money by the spread only).
- Limited Risk. Traders can only ever lose what is in their trading account as the Forex brokers will instantly close out the losing position or all their positions should the traders account fall below the brokers margin policy. Unlike other trading instruments where the account can go into negative figures where the account holder will need to immediately repay within a number of days.
- Accessible - If you work part-time or full time, or have other things on in your life, trading the Forex can fit in to your lifestyle as it is open 24 hours.
