What trading actually is

Trading is buying or selling an instrument to profit from a change in its price. You do not have to own the asset: with a Contract for Difference you agree to exchange the difference in price between the moment you open a position and the moment you close it. That is why you can profit when a market falls as well as when it rises, and why a loss is possible in both directions too.

Every trade has four decisions behind it: which market, which direction, how large, and where you get out. Beginners usually focus on the first two. The last two decide whether an account survives long enough to improve.

Markets you can trade

Forex

Currency pairs such as EUR/USD and USD/JPY. The largest and most traded market in the world, open 24 hours on weekdays.

Metals

Gold, silver and other precious metals, often traded when currency markets are volatile.

Indices

Baskets that track a whole stock market, so a single position reflects a broad economy rather than one company.

Commodities

Energy and agricultural products such as oil and natural gas, driven by supply, demand and global events.

Shares

Price movements of individual listed companies, traded as CFDs without owning the underlying share.

Cryptocurrencies

Digital assets such as Bitcoin and Ethereum. Prices can move sharply in both directions.

The words you need on day one

Pip
The smallest standard price move of a currency pair. On most pairs it is the fourth decimal place, so 1.1050 to 1.1051 is one pip.
Lot
The size of a trade. One standard lot is 100,000 units of the base currency; mini and micro lots let you trade smaller.
Spread
The difference between the buy and sell price. It is the cost of entering a trade, quoted in pips.
Leverage
Borrowed exposure that lets a small deposit control a larger position. It multiplies profits and losses equally.
Margin
The amount of your balance held as collateral while a leveraged position is open.
Stop loss
An instruction that closes a losing position at a set price, capping how much a single trade can cost you.
Take profit
An instruction that closes a winning position once it reaches your target price.
Long and short
Going long means you profit if the price rises. Going short means you profit if it falls.

How to start in four steps

  1. Open your account

    Register with your email, choose the account type that matches your experience and complete the online form. It takes a few minutes.

  2. Verify your identity

    Upload a valid ID and a proof of address. Verification protects your funds and is required before your first withdrawal.

  3. Fund your account

    Deposit with cards, bank transfer, e-wallets or crypto. Start with an amount you are comfortable putting at risk.

  4. Place your first trade

    Download MT4 or MT5, pick an instrument, set your stop loss and take profit, then open a position sized to your account.

Habits that protect a beginner

  • Risk only a small share of your balance on any single trade, so one bad position cannot end your account.
  • Attach a stop loss to every trade before you open it, not after the price moves against you.
  • Practise on a demo account until your plan produces consistent results without real money at stake.
  • Trade a plan you wrote in advance: entry, exit, position size and the reason for the trade.
  • Keep a journal of every trade and review it weekly to see which decisions actually work.
  • Treat leverage as a tool, not a target. Higher leverage means faster losses as well as faster gains.

Risk warning: CFDs are leveraged products and carry a high risk of losing money rapidly. You should consider whether you understand how these products work and whether you can afford to take the high risk of losing your money. Past performance is not a guide to future results.
