Spreads and trading costs
The spread is the difference between buy and sell prices and is a cost on each trade. Depending on your account, a commission may apply. Positions held overnight may incur swap charges or credits. Spreads can widen during low liquidity or major news.
Leverage and margin
Leverage lets you open a position larger than your margin deposit. It magnifies gains and losses equally — a small adverse move can produce a significant loss and may trigger a margin call or stop-out.
Managing forex risk
- Size positions relative to your account balance
- Use stop-loss orders, aware that slippage can occur
- Check the economic calendar before major events
- Avoid over-leveraging
- Keep a written trading plan
- Never trade money you cannot afford to lose
