Getting started with forex trading
- Forex trading means buying and selling currency pairs — such as EUR/USD or GBP/USD — as CFDs, aiming to profit from price moves.
- There is no local law that prevents an individual in Pakistan from trading forex and CFDs with an international online broker such as Exness.
- Getting started takes three steps: open an account online, deposit from a $10 minimum, and trade on MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5 or the web terminal.
- A free demo account lets a beginner practise with virtual funds before risking real money.
- Forex and CFD trading carries a high risk of losing money, so it is wise to learn the basics and start small.
