The popularity of forex trading continues to expand as more people tilt towards online trading.
– Contracts for difference (CFDs): a contract that allows “buyer” and “seller” to speculate that the seller will pay to the buyer the difference between the current value of an asset and its value at contract time (if the difference is negative, then the buyer pays instead to the seller).
– Demo accounts which are funded with virtual money, are practice accounts that are used to practice trading strategies or to test broker’s services and platform.
