A forex broker is a company that provides financial services to its clients, so that they can access a platform in order to exchange foreign currencies.

A forex broker is basically a company that provides financial services to its traders to have access to a trading platform so that they will start exchanging foreign currencies. Those exchanges are made by buying and selling simultaneously a specific pair of foreign currencies at the same time.

In fact, Forex is nothing more than an abbreviation for foreign exchange. FX Market is a global, interconnected market which is opened 24-hour. It doesn’t have a physical place where its trades actually happen, but instead it relies completely on the internet and our modern computer technologies.

These exchanges are made mostly between pairs of G10 nations foreign currencies.

The nations included are:

  • U.S. dollar (USD)
  • the Euro (EUR)
  • the pound sterling (GBP
  • the Japanese yen (JPY)
  • the Australian dollar (AUD)
  • the New Zealand dollar (NZD)
  • the Canadian dollar (CAD)
  • the Swiss franc (CHF)

When you trade with this pair, you are using an instrument called CFD.

CFD is an English acronym which means: “Contract for Difference”. CFDs are a derivative financial product which is widely used on online trading platforms.

They are a very particular instrument which attracts investors mostly because you can, thanks to it, invest on either long or short term, without actually buying a stock of actions or the actual physical possession of the treated currency.

With all that being said, CFDs remain a very unstable and complex instrument which may endanger your entire invested capitals. That is why you should think twice before investing in it more than you are ready to eventually lose. Nevertheless, if you are interested in this market, here’s a scoring about the 10 best forex brokers.
