1. Spot Forex

This type of Forex exchanging includes trading the genuine cash. For instance, you can purchase a specific measure of pound real and trade it for euros, and afterward once the worth of the pound expands, you can trade your euros for pounds once more, getting more cash contrasted with what you initially spent on the buy.

2. CFDs

The term CFD means "Agreement for Difference". It is an agreement used to address the development in the costs of monetary instruments. In Forex terms, this implies that as opposed to trading a lot of money, you can exploit value developments without claiming the actual resource. Alongside Forex, CFDs are additionally accessible in stocks, files, bonds, items, and digital currencies. In all cases, they permit you to exchange the value developments of these instruments without getting them.

3. Pip

A pip is the base unit in the cost of the money pair or 0.0001 of the provided cost estimate, in non-JPY cash sets. Thus, when the bid cost for the EUR/USD pair goes from 1.16667 to 1.16677, that addresses a distinction of 1 pip.

I think I will emphasize the pip. Pips are necessary to set your profits target and stop loss. If you do not know how to calculate it, then it can become a problem for you especially when you enter the wrong market. It is not clear to me but I am gradually learning how to do it. I just saw someone posted how to calculate hold pips. Perhaps, he may be willing to create another thread to explain how to calculate currency pairs pips.

The numbers can be so frustrating and sometimes I wonder why I do not get more than what I set. I understand that it is the pips count that I got wrong

Forex traders come across the terms ‘cash forex’ and ‘spot forex’ quite regularly. Both are very similar with a small difference. Cash forex is the rate of the currency right now, whereas spot forex is the rate for delivery in 2 days. In spot forex, the cost of financing for the respective currencies for the next 2 days is factored in. Traders will always trade the spot market’s price.

One of the particular things that a lot of people usually do not consider especially for beginners is trading on spot. I always advise anybody coming into the market to trade on spot first of all before they should try risk in a lot of money and then using leverage. It is also going to build your risk management and your emotions because there are some certain times in the market that the volatility is going to be too much and it is best that you should just stick to spot trading in order to avoid being liquidated at those times.
