What is Forex?

The World's Largest
Financial Market

The Foreign Exchange market (Forex or FX) is the global marketplace for buying and selling currencies. With over $7.5 trillion traded every single day, it is the largest and most liquid financial market in the world — larger than all global stock markets combined.

Forex trading involves speculating on the price movement of one currency against another. For example, if you believe the Euro will strengthen against the US Dollar, you buy EUR/USD. If you're correct and the rate rises, you profit. If it falls, you lose — amplified or reduced by your leverage level.

For MENA-based traders, Forex offers a particularly compelling opportunity. USD/AED, USD/SAR, and USD/EGP pairs are directly relevant to regional economic activity, while gold (XAU/USD) remains one of the most popular instruments across the Gulf region.

How It Works

Forex Trading
Explained

Currency Pairs
Forex is always traded in pairs — the base currency vs the quote currency. EUR/USD means: how many US Dollars does one Euro buy? If EUR/USD = 1.08, one Euro buys $1.08.
Going Long or Short
You can profit in both rising and falling markets. "Going long" means buying, expecting the pair to rise. "Going short" means selling, expecting it to fall. Both positions can generate profit.
Leverage & Margin
GBH Markets offers up to 500:1 leverage on major Forex pairs. This means $100 controls a $50,000 position. Leverage amplifies both gains and losses — use it carefully.
Pips & Spreads
A pip is the smallest price movement in Forex (0.0001 for most pairs). The spread is the difference between the buy and sell price — your transaction cost. GBH Pro accounts start from 0.3 pips on EUR/USD.

Risk Warning: Forex trading involves significant risk. Leverage of up to 500:1 means a 0.2% adverse price movement can result in total loss of your margin deposit. Only trade with capital you can afford to lose entirely. GBH Markets recommends all clients use stop-loss orders and never risk more than 1–2% of their account on any single trade.

FAQ

Forex Trading Questions

What is the minimum trade size for Forex?
The minimum trade size is 0.01 lots (micro lot = 1,000 units of the base currency) on all account types. This means you can start trading EUR/USD with as little as $0.10 per pip. The maximum trade size is 100 lots per order, with no limit on the number of simultaneous open positions.
What are swap rates and how do I avoid them?
Swaps (also called rollover or overnight fees) are charged when you hold a Forex position overnight past 22:00 GMT. They reflect the interest rate differential between the two currencies in the pair. To avoid swaps entirely, you can: (1) close positions before 22:00 GMT daily, (2) request an Islamic swap-free account, which GBH Markets provides at no additional cost to all Muslim clients.
Can I trade USD/AED and USD/SAR on GBH Markets?
Yes — GBH Markets offers a full range of MENA currency pairs including USD/AED, USD/SAR, USD/QAR, USD/EGP, USD/JOD, and USD/KWD. These pairs are available on MT4, MT5, and the GBH WebTrader. MENA pairs have competitive spreads starting from 0.5 pips on Pro accounts with maximum leverage of 100:1.
Is scalping allowed?
Yes, scalping is fully permitted on all GBH Markets accounts. There is no minimum trade holding time. Pro and Prime accounts using our NDD/ECN model are particularly well-suited to scalping strategies as they offer the tightest spreads, fastest execution, and no requotes. Expert Advisors (EAs) used for automated scalping are also fully supported.
What is the difference between Standard and ECN accounts?
Standard accounts use a market maker model with wider spreads (from 1.2 pips on EUR/USD) and no commission. This is ideal for traders who trade infrequently or prefer simpler pricing. Pro and Prime ECN accounts connect directly to the interbank liquidity pool with raw spreads from 0.0–0.3 pips, plus a small per-lot commission ($3.50/lot for Pro). ECN is better for high-volume and scalping traders.
What happens to my trades during news events?
During major economic news releases (US Non-Farm Payrolls, Fed announcements, etc.), spreads may widen significantly as liquidity reduces momentarily. Slippage can also occur, meaning your order may be filled at a slightly different price from what you requested. GBH Markets recommends using limit orders rather than market orders during high-impact news events to control your entry price.
Are there restrictions on Forex trading strategies?
GBH Markets imposes very few restrictions. Scalping, hedging, grid trading, martingale strategies, and algorithmic/EA trading are all permitted. The only prohibited activities are: latency arbitrage exploiting our pricing infrastructure, and reverse latency arbitrage strategies that exploit price feed delays. These are explicitly prohibited in our Terms & Conditions.
What leverage is available for Forex majors?
GBH Markets offers up to 500:1 leverage on major Forex pairs (EUR/USD, GBP/USD, USD/JPY, etc.) for all account types. Minor pairs are available at up to 200:1, exotic pairs at 20:1–100:1 depending on the specific pair, and MENA pairs at up to 100:1. You can set your preferred leverage level per account from within your client portal, down to a minimum of 1:1 if you prefer to trade without leverage.
