platform<\/h3><p>Typically, when choosing the best trading platform for forex, investors need to think about a few factors when searching for the right platform, here are some of the key things to consider:<\/p><ul><li><strong>Leverage and margin.<\/strong> If you\u2019re a beginner, you\u2019ll want limited access to margin and leverage, but experienced investors will want these levers to pull.<\/li><li><strong>Commission and trading fees.<\/strong> Forex platforms don\u2019t usually charge commission for trades, but check for other fees like currency conversion and overnight funding fees.<\/li><li><strong>Spreads.<\/strong> If the spreads are quite wide (the difference between the buy and sell prices), this will reduce any profits for successful trades.<\/li><li><strong>Minimum trade size.<\/strong> If you only want to start trading with a small amount, you\u2019ll want to check if the forex trading platform supports smaller deposits and trades.<\/li><li><strong>Choice of currency pairs.<\/strong> All the best forex trading platforms will have the major pairs, but only some will have minor or exotic pairs.<\/li><\/ul><div class=\"did-you-know u-bg--sky-subtle

The two currencies are referred to as the base currency and the counter currency.<\/p><p>When trading a pair, you buy the one that you think will go up in value and sell the one you think will decrease against the other. When closing the position, you\u2019ll do the opposite. You can use various <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/uk\/share-trading\/share-trading-guides\/share-trading-glossary\/trading-order-types\">trading order types<\/a> to help automate your forex trading. <\/p>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h3>What are the best forex pairs to trade?<\/h3><p>The best forex pair to trade really depends on the current economic climate. Currencies are constantly changing value based on a huge range of things, such as how much tourism a country has, current interest rates, the country\u2019s political position and trade flows.<br>This means that the best one to trade is changing all the time \u2013 try keeping an eye on current affairs to try to get a grasp on what impact certain events might have on a currency and choose which pairs to trade based on your findings.<\/p><h3>Is forex trading free?<\/h3><p>It can often seem that forex trading is free as a lot of forex trading platforms tend to offer their services commission free, but there\u2019s a cost built into the price of the currencies that you\u2019ll pay when you make a trade, known as the spread.<br>The spread is the difference between the \u201cbuy\u201d and \u201csell\u201d prices, so once you\u2019ve opened and closed a position, you\u2019ll have paid the difference between them in fees. The spread is measured in \u201cpips\u201d. Spreads will vary across forex brokers and can depend on market volatility, liquidity and the volume of trades taking place at any given time. <\/p><p>A pip is the smallest movement that an exchange rate can make. It stands for \u201cpercentage in point\u201d. As most currency pairs are priced to 4 decimal places, 1 pip is equal to one-hundredth of 1%. This is equal to 1 basis point. For example, if the GBP\/EUR exchange rate moved from 1.1510 to 1.1511, it moved by 1 pip. To work out the spread, you minus the sell price from the buy price.<br>Next steps<\/p><p>If you\u2019ve chosen the best forex trading platform for you, you can go ahead and click through to the site to check out the platform. When signing up, make sure you have some ID handy, as well as your bank details and national insurance (NI) number. If you still don\u2019t think you\u2019ve found the one for you, we have a guide where you can learn more <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/uk\/forex-trading\">about forex trading<\/a>.<\/p><h3>Bottom line<\/h3><p>The best forex trading platform for you to use will depend on your level of experience and how you plan to trade currencies. Each forex broker will have unique benefits and drawbacks, some are better for beginner traders and others more suitable if you\u2019ve got some experience. <\/p><p>Be careful because forex trading can be volatile and if you start trading using margin or leverage, you\u2019re going to be increasing your level of risk and market exposure. When looking for the best forex trading platform, key things to compare will be the spreads, commissions or fees, number and types of currency pairs, access to leverage, and what it\u2019s like to use each platform. Most forex brokers will let you test the platform for free with a demo or virtual account, so that\u2019s a useful option, especially for beginners.<\/p><h3>Frequently asked questions<\/h3><ul class=\"luna-accordionGroup accordionGroup\"><li class=\"luna-accordion\" data-accordion=\"accordion\">\n  <div class=\"luna-accordion__summary\">\n    <h4 class=\"luna-accordion__heading\">\n      <button class=\"luna-accordion__action collapsed\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"accordion0000000000\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" data-target=\"#accordion0000000000\">\n        <span class=\"luna-accordion__title\">Which trading platform is best for forex?<\/span>\n        <svg class=\"luna-icon\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n          <use xlink:href=\"#chevron-down\" data-accordion-icon=\"show\"><\/use>\n          <use xlink:href=\"#chevron-up\" data-accordion-icon=\"hide\" class=\"is-hidden\"><\/use>\n        <\/svg>\n      <\/button>\n    <\/h4>\n  <\/div>\n  <div class=\"luna-accordion__details collapse\" aria-hidden=\"true\" id=\"accordion0000000000\" data-accordion=\"details\">\n    <div class=\"accordionContent\">Unfortunately, there\u2019s no overall best platform for forex trading.
