  • In order to make money on the Forex market you have to buy low

  • and sell high, quite simple. Let’s have a look at the example:

  • How much money can you theoretically make by trading currencies?

  • Let’s assume that you have 1,000 US dollars on your trading account.

  • The current exchange rate of Euro versus the US dollar

  • is 1.25. In other words, for 1 euro

  • you get one dollar and 25 cents. You forecast

  • that during the day Euro would rise versus the US dollar.

  • Based on this forecast you buy 800 Euros

  • for your 1,000 dollars. Your forecast is correct!

  • Euro rises from 1.25 to 1.26 dollars.

  • Being in profit you decide to close the trade and exchange

  • 800 Euros back to 1,008 dollars. In effect,

  • your profit from this trade is 8 dollars. Not that much, right?

  • You raise a fair question: Would it be possible to increase profits

  • In order to maximize your profit potential you can use leverage.

  • Leverage is a loan Tickmill provides you

  • to trade Forex. The size of the loan can differ but Tickmill provides you with up to

  • 500 times more funds than your initial capital,

  • which also increases your profit potential 500 times.

  • Great, right?, Still, please remember...

  • Increased leverage means not only more profit potential

  • but also more risks! Managing your risks is very important!

  • Let’s have a look at an example how to use leverage of

  • one to five hundred (1:500). You have the same 1,000 dollars on your account

  • and you estimate that Euro will rise versus the US dollar

  • therefore you decide to take the biggest possible loan from your broker 499,000 dollars.

  • Now, with the exchange rate of 1.25

  • you exchange all your 500,000 dollars to 400,000 euros.

  • At the moment when exchange rate rises to 1.26

  • you exchange the 400,000 euros back to 504,000 dollars.

  • As a result, you now have 5,000 dollars on your account

  • after returning the loan to your broker. So your net profit is 4 000 dollars.

  • An incredible result after just one day of trading!

  • In this example we have looked at the scenario when your forecast

  • turns out to be correct. But what would have happened if instead of rising

  • Euro had fallen against the US dollar? In this case

  • your trade would be open until your losses equal your initial deposit,

  • which is 1,000 dollars. At this point your trade will be

  • automatically closed and the broker takes back the loan. Consequently,

  • a case when you can lose broker’s loan is almost impossible.

  • Taking everything into account, you now have seen how leverage can increase your profits,

  • if you make right decisions. At the same time, leverage can also work against you

  • if you make wrong estimations and don’t limit your losses.
