How to perform foreign exchange transactions
Foreign exchange currencies always appear in pairs, for example: EUR/USD, GBP/USD, USD/JPY.
In foreign exchange trading, you can either buy (long) or sell (short). However, when you trade foreign exchange currency pairs online, you are not buying or selling real currencies. Your operation is actually a bet on the rise or fall of a currency pair. The rise or fall of a currency is actually a rise or fall relative to another currency.
Through WCG, you can trade direct and cross currencies, the minimum capital for opening an account is only US$ 100.
Unlike other financial markets, the foreign exchange market does not have a fixed central exchange or physical location. A 24-hour global network of foreign exchange transactions is formed by banks, large companies and individual traders. This means that foreign exchange rates fluctuate 24 hours a day, providing many trading opportunities.
Buy-long
Judge the market as an upward trend, hold it after buying a financial product, and wait for it to rise before selling, to earn the intermediate spread.
Sell-short
Anticipating that the market will fall, sell the chips in hand and buy after the price drops; in short, it means selling first and then buying.

Foreign exchange quotes generally have five decimal places. Among them, the fourth decimal place is the one that requires the most attention. We often use pips to calculate profit and loss. Foreign exchange trading volume is generally counted in "lots", and 1 lot is equal to 100,000 base currency units. You can also trade units smaller than 1 lot, such as mini lots or micro lots. Mini lots correspond to 10,000 currency units (0.1 lots), and micro lots correspond to 1,000 currency units (0.01 lots).
Support leverage
You can utilize leverage to open a position larger than your capital amount. This approach may lead to more profits or losses. Therefore, it is very important to manage risks when conducting foreign exchange transactions.
Funding threshold
When trading foreign exchange online, you can decide the size of your open positions. Deposit a suitable amount of funds according to your own situation to participate in the transaction.
24 hours trading
From Monday morning to Saturday morning, the foreign exchange market is always open for trading. This makes the foreign exchange market an ideal trading market for amateur traders.
