Trade Responsibly
Understanding The Trading Risks Involved
In essence, trading on the financial markets involves the leveraged FX and CFDs products' margin trade. It is a high-risk process since the leverage can play either as an advantage or disadvantage of the traders. Both FX and CFDs are derivative financial instruments that enable speculating on the changing prices of a particular asset without actually owning the asset. However, trading with FX and CFDs carries a high risk level due to the instrument complexity and volatility and can lead to a significant capital loss. Therefore, traders/investors must be fully aware of all risks involved before stepping into the financial markets. Naturally, understanding the risks involved doesn't necessary mean traders will avoid the losses altogether. Still, they can make informed decisions and manage invested funds with more efficiency.

What is leverage and how to use it in your advantage?
Leverage is widely used in the financial market as it allows traders/investors to manage positions that surpass the value of their initial investment. For example: If a trader deposit ₤3,000 in their account and the trading is with a 1:30 leverage, they purchase power become ₤90,000.
When the market moves in traders' favour, the leverage allows them to maximise their profits. However, this is not always the case as the market can move to a hostile to the trader direction. In this case, the leverage will increase the capital loss.
Opening an Zirux Demo Account can help traders familiarise themselves with the principles of leverage and apply it to best suit their trading strategy. The Zirux Demo Account comes with a virtual balance that can be used risk-free.
