The quicker price moves on any given FX pair, the quicker traders will make money – if they get the direction right. You can buy the dips and sell the highs, or trade in the opposite direction. You can trade somewhere mid-way in a trend, over just a few minutes of the day or for several days, even weeks. It's entirely up to you. Whatever your strategy, know this: no one is right 100% of the time. There will be losses, so it's important to implement a risk strategy on a consistent basis.
The beauty of forex trading is that quantifying profit is straightforward because expenses are limited, and gains and losses are easily accounted for.
Software suites such as Trading Station and MetaTrader 4 calculate gains and losses on a pip-by-pip basis. As the market moves, your account balance is updated automatically. You can also use our the Profit Calculator to work out your P&L. Whichever platform you use to trade with us, you can clearly see figures for trading costs and P&L.
When choosing your trade size, you can use the Pip Calculator to give you an accurate figure for how much you are prepared to risk on any given trade. It's also a good idea to know how the trade you're planning to take might affect your margin. For that, you can use our Margin Calculator. If the trade size looks too big for your available margin, you can shave a bit off and take a smaller trade.
Another useful tool is the Pivot Point Calculator. It's a simple tool that enables you to determine potential support and resistance levels and the direction of a prevailing trend. Combining this with the other tools just referred to, you quickly have an accurate picture of your potential gains and losses before you take a trade.
The best time to trade equities, currencies and futures is unique to each product. Periods of enhanced market participation often create optimal liquidity and volatility.
Contracts for difference (CFDs) and forex have similarities and differences, and it's important to learn these distinctions as a trader.
Forex trading is challenging and can present adverse conditions, but it also offers traders access to a large, liquid market with opportunities for gains.

Forex trading profits are not limited only to buying low and selling high. You are able to make money from being either long or short a specific market, increasing the number of potential trading opportunities exponentially. Whether your outlook on a currency is bullish or bearish, you have the ability to capitalise upon the idea. Please note there is no guarantee that trading will result in profits or not result in losses.
As it pertains to any business ― active trading or otherwise ― profit is the difference between gains and losses minus operating expenses. The beauty of forex trading is that quantifying profit is straightforward because expenses are limited, and gains and losses are easily accounted for. Fortunately, figuring P&L doesn't have to be an exhaustive task. All you need is your account currency, pair, trade size and opening/closing prices—the Profit Calculator does the rest. With FXCM, you will always know your P&L, freeing up time for active trading.
Active Trader Accounts: Active Trader accounts offers spreads plus mark-up pricing or spreads plus commission pricing depending on your equity level and trading volume.
Leverage: Leverage is a double-edged sword and can dramatically amplify your profits. It can also just as dramatically amplify your losses. Trading foreign exchange/CFDs with any level of leverage may not be suitable for all investors.
