How does Forex Trading work?

Forex trading is similar to trading stocks or futures, but instead of taking ownership of an asset, you are buying or selling one currency against another without taking physical delivery of the currencies involved. One of Forex’s key advantages over other financial instruments is the ability to trade in relatively small lot sizes — as little as 1,000 units, known as a micro lot. Typically, foreign exchange also involves leverage which in some cases can be as high as 1:500, which is very different to trading shares where no leverage is involved.
