Profitability

It doesn’t take a financial genius to figure out that the biggest attraction of any
market, or any financial venture for that matter, is the opportunity of profit. In the
Forex market, profitability is expressed in a number of ways.
First of all, just to set the record straight, you don’t have to be a millionaire to




trade Forex. Unlike most financial markets, the Forex market allows you to start
trading with relatively low initial capital. At eToro, you can start trading Forex with
as little as $25!
Right about now you’re probably asking yourself: “What chance do I have of
profiting with such a low initial investment?” The Forex market doesn’t require
large initial investments because it allows you to use leveraged trading. Leveraged
trading lets you open positions for tens of thousands of dollars while investing
sums as small as $25. This means that Forex trading has the profit (and loss)
potential of tens and even hundreds of percent a day!
What is also unique about the Forex market is that any sort of movement is an
opportunity to trade. Whether a currency is crashing or soaring, there is always
room for speculation, since you always have the option of buying or selling the
currency of your choice. Unlike the stock market, you are not limited to
speculating on rising stocks, and a falling market is just as good for business as a
rising market.
Having said all that, it is important to remember that as profitable as the Forex
market is, it still carries all the risks involved with financial trading. You should
always be aware of the risk, and never risk money that you can’t afford to lose.
