That\u2019s why we\u2019ve outlined everything you need to know for your trading journey, including how to trade stocks and forex trading for beginners.<\/font><\/span><br \/><\/font><div><span style=\"font-family:'Matter SQ', 'Arial Fallback', sans-serif;font-size:20px;\"><font color=\"#ffffff\"><br \/><\/font><\/span><\/div><div><p style=\"font-size:medium;line-height:22px;margin-bottom:30px;font-family:'Matter SQ', 'Arial Fallback', sans-serif;\"><font color=\"#ffffff\">When you trade, you\u2019ll use a platform like ours to access these markets and take a position on whether you think a market\u2019s price will rise or fall. If your prediction is correct, you\u2019ll make a profit. If incorrect, you\u2019ll incur a loss.<\/font><\/p><p style=\"font-size:medium;line-height:22px;margin-bottom:30px;font-family:'Matter SQ', 'Arial Fallback', sans-serif;\"><font color=\"#ffffff\">The financial instruments you\u2019ll use to trade on an asset\u2019s price movements are known as \u2018derivatives\u2019. This simply means that the instrument\u2019s price is \u2018derived\u2019 from the price of the underlying, like a company share or an ounce of gold. As the price of the underlying asset changes, so does the value of the derivative.<\/font><\/p><p style=\"font-size:medium;line-height:22px;margin-bottom:30px;font-family:'Matter SQ', 'Arial Fallback', sans-serif;\"><font color=\"#ffffff\">To understand this, let\u2019s look at an example of speculating on shares. If the price of a share goes up from $100 to $105, the value of the derivative will increase by the same amount. If you bought the derivative at $100, you could now sell it at $105. Although you never own the share itself, your profit or loss will mirror its price movements.<\/font><\/p><h4 class=\"heading\" style=\"font-size:20px;line-height:34px;margin-bottom:5px;font-family:'Matter SQ', 'Arial Fallback', sans-serif;\"><font color=\"#ffffff\">So, why use a derivative?<\/font><\/h4><p style=\"font-size:medium;line-height:22px;margin-bottom:30px;font-family:'Matter SQ', 'Arial Fallback', sans-serif;\"><font color=\"#ffffff\">With derivatives trading, you can go long or short \u2013 meaning you can make a profit if that market\u2019s price rises or falls, as long as you predict it correctly. Contrarily, if the market moved against your speculation, you\u2019d incur a loss. This is because trading isn\u2019t owning the actual financial asset. With owning something outright, such as gold for example, you\u2019ll only make a profit if the gold price climbs.<\/font><\/p><p style=\"color:rgb(30,26,26);font-size:medium;line-height:22px;margin-bottom:30px;font-family:'Matter SQ', 'Arial Fallback', sans-serif;\"><br \/><\/p><\/div>","image":"63f345cd2c7101676887501.jpg"}
