When it comes to trading strategies, complicated does not necessarily mean better. Ultimately, the markets can only do one of three things: go up, down or sideways. A simple trading strategy can be an effective way of catching significant moves, meaning you can use it across a variety of different markets.
Take a look at the world’s largest listed companies: Amazon, Berkshire Hathaway, JP Morgan Chase, Microsoft. They all rank among the largest companies in the world, and they are all listed in the US. With a combined value of more than $49 trillion, US-based stocks account for around 70% of the global market.
FX trading, also known as foreign exchange trading or forex trading is the exchange of different currencies on a decentralised global market. It's one of the largest and most liquid financial markets in the world. Forex trading involves the simultaneous buying and selling of the world's currencies on this market.

Click or tap on the 'SELL' or 'BUY' price and an order ticket will appear. Choose between 'Market Order', 'Limit Order', or 'Stop Entry Order', input the trade size and then hit enter, add any 'Stop Loss' and 'Take Profit' levels and then place your trade.
On our mobile apps, you can swipe from left to right anywhere on the order ticket to reveal a chart and use price sliders to set trade levels directly from the chart. Tablets use the extra screen space to display the chart to the left of the order ticket with your relevant order price and risk management levels shown against historical price action. Remember that information relating to past performance does not guarantee future performance.
