Actually Forex trading is them most global systems betting on the future movement of exchange rates. Forex trading is generally considered a high-risk activity. Professional forex traders have jobs in which 100% of their time is devoted to making profits by trading. These traders have market experience and real-time market information at their fingertips. They may also have huge amounts of capital to bet. As retail investors, most of us will not have much, if any, of these.
- Am I suited to fast-paced trading? Online trading, which includes forex trading, is fast-paced. Forex trading in particular requires round-the-clock attention to the markets and rapid decision-making. Not everyone will be suited for such demands, or is able to devote the required time and attention. Ask yourself if you are suited to this sort of trading style.
- Do I understand binary options? Binary options are susceptible to market risk. Like other options products, investors’ losses can be magnified by using binary options to speculate. However, in a way, binary options can represent an even higher risk, as they are usually an ‘all-or-nothing’ product. Trading in binary options without an understanding of the underlying asset is as good as gambling.
- Do I understand what makes forex markets tick? Forex markets are complex. Identifying and making sense of economic indicators, trade data and monetary policy statements that are relied on by forex market professionals requires fairly complex analysis and judgement.
Here are a few key things to think about before parting with your money to trade on unregulated online platforms and/or engage in forex trading enrichment classes.
- Take a reality check: If the individual or company claims to have a fool-proof method of ensuring high and consistent profits, why is he spending time trying to sell you software or a training programme when he could be making millions instead?
- What experience does the individual or company or unregulated online trading platform making the offer really have? Offers may appear credible if the person or company or online trading platform claims to be an expert, with vast trading experience, and/or regulated by the authorities. Do your homework and conduct independent checks to establish the credibility of such claims. For instance, you can check:
The Financial Institutions Directory on the MAS website to see if a company or financial institution operating an online unregulated platform is regulated by the MAS and whether the investment activity that is marketed is a regulated activity.
The Investor Alert List for a list of unregulated persons who, based on information received by MAS, may have been wrongly perceived as being licensed or authorised by MAS.
The Enforcement Actions page on the MAS website to see if MAS has taken regulatory actions against this person or entity.
