2. "Keep it flowing!"

With flowing, we are referring to high liquidity which is the ability of an asset to be converted into cash quickly and without any price discount. Without sounding too bookish, we mean to say that in forex you can move large amounts of money into and out of foreign currency without minimal price movement.


3. "It doesn't cost the world!"

In forex trading, usually when you buy and sell the cost for a transaction is built into the price, which is called the spread. You can imagine the spread like a box you ordered and the transportation costs are already included in the whole price. That's it.


4. "Play high!"

Actually, you can use $1,000 capital to control a trade of $50,000 worth. That is what is called leverage. Leverage is the ability to trade more money on the market than what is actually in the trader's account. If you were to trade 50:1 leverage, you could trade $50 on the market for every $1 that was in your account.


5. "I am an opportunity seeker!... lets go short and long!"

Sometimes, it takes a good deal to see an opportunity rising, for instance, you think a currency pair is going to increase in value, you could buy it before it does (buying = to go long). But if you think it will decrease in value, you could simply go short and sell it. There is always a profit potential from rising and falling prices.
