Frequently Asked Questions

    Is forex trading good for beginners?

    Forex (FX) trading can be an appealing option for beginners who are eager to learn and understand the currency financial markets. This is because the forex markets can be traded with small amounts of capital, as the use of leverage allows traders to control larger positions, with limited capital. Traders can also trade small lot sizes, starting from 0.01 lot.

    Moreover, the forex market is easily accessible online to countries like Phillipines, Thailand, or other locations around the world. This allows beginners to trade conveniently from anywhere with an internet connection. Forex brokers like Vantage also provide educational resources ranging from online courses, webinars and educational articles. These resources can help beginners to learn about trading fundamentals, technical analysis as well as the tools and indicators used in forex (FX) trading.

    By dedicating time to learning and practising, beginners can build a solid foundation and improve their forex trading skills. However, it is important for beginners to exercise caution and conduct their own due diligence before engaging in any trades. Like any form of trading, forex trading carries inherent risks, particularly if you trade with leverage. Here’s a beginner’s guide to trading forex.

    How can a beginner trade in forex?

    Beginner can start forex trading with just a few simple steps:


    1. Find a reliable broker to trade with

    As a beginner, you can do your own research on the offerings of different forex brokers, including their account options and the features of their trading platforms. This will help you to find the one that best suits your needs and preferences.

    Some key factors to look out for in a broker include:
      - Low fees
      - Wide variety of trading products
      - Fast execution speed

    2. Open a demo account

    Practise trading forex on the demo account offered by the broker. This allows beginners to gain trading experience by making trades using virtual credit.
    Alternatively, if you’re a seasoned trader, you can go straight to opening a forex (FX) trading account with Vantage.


    3. Educate yourself on forex trading

    Take advantage of online courses, webinars, and educational articles offered by the broker. Use this opportunity to learn and enhance your knowledge about forex trading. Visit Vantage Academy for the latest forex trading articles.

    Is forex trading a good idea?

    Forex trading can be a good idea for short term traders who are looking to diversify their portfolio and have multiple sources of income.

    However, this is also largely dependent on your risk appetite. It's important to carefully consider your risk appetite, as forex trading can be highly volatile and may not be suitable for everyone. Proper research, risk management, and a clear trading strategy are essential to navigate this market successfully.

    What are the benefits of forex trading?

    Forex trading offers some unique advantages:


    a) 24-hour market

    Enjoy the convenience of round-the-clock trading with the forex market, whether you are in Thailand, Phillipines or other nations worldwide. Unlike stock or commodity markets, it operates 24 hours a day, five days a week, allowing you to trade forex (FX) at your preferred time, whether it's morning or night.

    b) High liquidity

    The large trading volume in the forex market represents high liquidity for traders. This also means there are a large number of buyers and sellers at any time of the day. So, under any usual market conditions, you can instantly open or close your FX trade.

    c) Low trade costs

    Forex markets typically have very narrow spreads – the difference between the bid price and the ask price and what a broker will charge. This reduces the costs you incur for your trade, leading to potential greater profit margins.

    d) Leverage

    Forex traders have the option to utilise leverage, which allows them to amplify their forex trading potential beyond their initial deposit. Leverage enables traders to open positions in the forex market by providing only a fraction of the total value of the position upfront.

    How does leverage work?

    Leverage is a tool that allows traders to control larger positions using a smaller amount of capital. This is usually expressed as a ratio, such as 50:1, where the first number represents the amount you can control, and the second number represents the capital you have.

    To illustrate this concept, let's have a look at an example:
    Imagine you have $100 and use a leverage of 50:1. With this leverage, your $100 investment can control a position valued at $5,000. This means that you can potentially take advantage of the price movements of a much larger position than you could not have accessed with your initial capital alone.

    However, please bear in mind that leverage is a double-edged sword, as it not only magnifies potential profits but also amplifies potential losses. To gain a deeper understanding of how leverage operates in forex trading, you can learn more here.
