What is Forex Trading & How Does it Work in the UK?

Forex Trading is when you try to make profit from predicting if the exchange rate of a currency will rise against another currency.

To trade forex you pair two currencies together (example GBP/USD) & if you think the exchange rate of the pair will rise, you place a buy order for a specific quantity, to profit if you are right.

On the flip side if you think the exchange rate will fall, you place a sell order to benefit from the fall.

To be able to trade forex in the UK, you need to use the services of a forex broker whose function is to provide you the trading software, liquidity & enabling environment needed to trade.

Forex trading in the UK is totally legit & is regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) UK.

If you trade with an FCA licensed broker you are eligible for compensation up to 85,000 GBP if you suffer pecuniary losses due to broker bankruptcy etc.
