Why You Should Trade Forex 

Ever wonder why lots of people are transitioning from traditional jobs to being a forex trader, especially during this pandemic?

1. 24 hours/5 days a week open market – A trader doesn’t have to wake up at 6:00 am to go to work. You can trade any time of the day set your own schedule for trading.
2. Flexible workplace – You don’t have to go to an office. As long as you have a laptop and access to the internet, you can access your trading account wherever you are, even if you are on vacation outside the country.
3. Leverage – You can trade with just a fraction of your capital through leverage. Although this sounds appealing to traders with only a small capital, it also has its disadvantages. Leverage can increase your gains, but it can also increase your losses if not used properly. Understanding risk management is crucial in every trade that you make.
