Market Fundamentals

Understand How Forex Works

Before placing a single trade, build a solid foundation on what the market is and why prices move.

What Is Forex?

The foreign exchange (forex) market is the world's largest financial market, where currencies are bought and sold against one another.

  • Over $7 trillion traded daily — far larger than stock markets.
  • You trade currency pairs (e.g. EUR/USD), not individual stocks.
  • Prices move based on economic data, central bank policy, and global events.
  • Forex markets are open 24 hours, five days a week across global sessions.

Understanding Currency Pairs

Every forex trade involves two currencies. The first currency is the base; the second is the quote.

  • Major pairs include EUR/USD, GBP/USD, USD/JPY — highest liquidity and tightest spreads.
  • Minor pairs exclude the US dollar but involve other majors (e.g. EUR/GBP).
  • Exotic pairs combine a major with an emerging-market currency — wider spreads, higher volatility.
  • The quote shows how much of the second currency equals one unit of the base.

Trading Sessions

Forex activity peaks when major financial centres overlap. Knowing session times helps you plan entries.

  • Sydney/Tokyo (Asian): Lower volatility on majors; JPY and AUD pairs often active.
  • London (European): Highest volume; EUR, GBP, and USD pairs see major moves.
  • New York (American): Overlaps with London — peak liquidity and news-driven volatility.
  • Economic releases (NFP, CPI, rate decisions) often cause sharp moves during active sessions.

What Moves Prices?

Currency values reflect relative economic strength, interest rate expectations, and market sentiment.

  • Central bank interest rate decisions and forward guidance.
  • Inflation, employment, and GDP data releases.
  • Geopolitical events, trade policy, and risk-on / risk-off sentiment.
  • Technical levels where large orders cluster can accelerate short-term moves.
Essential Vocabulary

Key Concepts Every Trader Must Know

Master these terms before your first live trade — they appear on every platform and in every strategy.

Pip

The smallest standard price move in forex. For most pairs, one pip = 0.0001 (e.g. EUR/USD 1.0850 → 1.0851). JPY pairs use 0.01.

Lot Size

A standard lot = 100,000 units of base currency. Mini (10,000) and micro (1,000) lots let beginners trade smaller sizes.

Spread

The difference between bid (sell) and ask (buy) price. Your first cost on every trade — lower spreads mean lower entry cost.

Leverage

Borrowed capital that amplifies position size. 1:100 leverage means $1,000 controls $100,000 — magnifies both gains and losses.

Margin

Collateral required to open and maintain a leveraged position. Margin call occurs if equity falls below the required level.

Stop-Loss & Take-Profit

Pre-set exit orders. Stop-loss limits loss if price moves against you; take-profit locks in gains at your target level.

Practical Guide

How to Place Your First Trade

A hands-on walkthrough from platform setup to managing open positions.

01

Set Up Your Platform

Download MetaTrader or use Auraxis WebTrader. Log in with your demo or live credentials, customise your workspace, and add favourite pairs to Market Watch.

02

Read the Chart

Choose candlestick charts for clarity. Identify trend direction, mark support and resistance, and add indicators (MA, RSI) only when they serve your strategy.

03

Place Your First Order

Select lot size, set stop-loss and take-profit before confirming. Use market orders for immediate execution or pending orders to enter at a specific price.

04

Manage Open Positions

Monitor floating P&L, adjust stops to breakeven when appropriate, and never add to a losing position without a clear plan. Close trades when your thesis is invalidated.

Risk Management

Protect Your Capital First

The difference between a hobbyist and a serious trader is not the winning trade — it is surviving the losing ones. These principles should guide every decision you make.

Trading leveraged products carries a high level of risk and may not be suitable for all investors. You could lose more than your initial investment. Read our Risk Disclosure before trading live.

  • Never risk more than 1–2% of your account on a single trade.
  • Always use a stop-loss — trading without one is gambling, not investing.
  • Aim for a minimum 1:2 risk-to-reward ratio on every setup.
  • Avoid over-leveraging; higher leverage increases margin call risk.
  • Keep a trading journal to review wins, losses, and emotional decisions.
  • Do not trade during major news unless you understand the volatility spike.
