How to make money on the Forex market?

In order to make money on the Forex market you have to buy low and sell high, quite simple. Let’s have a look at the example: How much money can you theoretically make by trading currencies? Let’s assume that you have 1,000 US dollars on your trading account. The current exchange rate of Euro versus the US dollar is 1.25. In other words, for 1 euro you get one dollar and 25 cents. You forecast that during the day Euro would rise versus the US dollar. Based on this forecast you buy 800 Euros for your 1,000 dollars. The forecast is correct! Euro rises from to dollars. Being in profit you decide to close the trade and exchange 800 Euros back to 1,008 dollars. In effect, your profit from this trade is 8 dollars. Not that much, right? You raise a fair question: Would it be possible to increase profits In order to maximize your profit potential you can use leverage. Leverage is a loan your broker provides you to trade Forex. The size of the loan can differ but Tickmill provides you with up to 500 times more funds than your initial capital, which also increases your profit potential 500 times.

Great!, Still, please remember… Increased leverage means also more risks! Managing your risks is very important! Let’s have a look at an example how to use leverage of one to five hundred (1:500). You have the same 1,000 dollars on your account and you estimate that Euro will rise versus the US dollar therefore you decide to take the biggest possible loan from your broker 499,000 dollars. Now, with the exchange rate of you exchange all your 500,000 dollars to 400,000 euros. At the moment when exchange rate rises to you exchange the 400,000 euros back to 504,000 dollars. As a result, you now have 5,000 dollars on your account after returning the loan to your broker.

So your net profit is 4 000 dollars. An incredible result after just one day of trading!
