4. Start trading

Open an order

To open an order, you can simply select the volume of your position and press Buy or Sell.

Basically, you open a Buy order if you expect the price to go up and open a Sell order if you expect the price to go down. It means that you buy a certain amount at a lower price now to sell it back at a higher price later and gain profit from the price difference.

Set leverage

Leverage reduces marginal requirements, the amount necessary to maintain a certain position, and helps you open orders with a volume larger than your balance would allow otherwise. It is important to note that the higher the volume of your order, the more you gain or lose for each pip.

Let's say, you have a trading account with 500 USD and a 1:500 leverage applied. You decide to open a position for 1 lot (100,000 units) on EUR/USD, when the price is at 1.13415. The required margin for this position is 226.83 USD, almost half of your funds. Each pip movement is then worth 10 USD. Therefore, the price only needs to drop to 1.13145 for you to lose nearly all of the money in your account. If you open a position for 0.5 lots, each pip will cost you only 5 USD. In this case, if the price falls to 1.13145, your loss will amount 135 USD.

This should be taken into account when making a trading decision and evaluating the potential risk of an adverse price fluctuation.

Predict the price movement

As a beginner, you can simply track the general direction of the price on the chart and open Buy orders when it goes up or Sell orders when it goes down. This may not get you a guaranteed profit every time, however, it is a good start for developing your strategy.

If you have little to no experience, it's better to avoid trading during major news releases, as the market tends to be highly volatile. Two more advanced methods of price prediction are technical analysis and fundamental analysis. Basic risk management techniques may also prove beneficial in reducing losses.
