Leverage, Margin and Lot Sizes in Forex

The term “FOREX” is used for Foreign Exchange (also known as FX) which is an online global network used to buy and sell currencies with the daily turnover of $5.1 trillion.

It provides the facility to trade 24 hours a day and 5 days a week where banks, individual traders, financial institutions and companies can participate.

There are two major tiers in the forex market, the first one is an interbank market where currencies of different countries are exchanged by the biggest banks.

It can also denote the sum of debt an employer uses to finance assets.

When one refers to a corporation, assets or investment as “incredibly leveraged,” it processes that item has more debt than equity.

As an example, if a forex broker gives you the leverage ratio 1:100 then it means you could trade $200,000 with $2,000.
