Forex

The foreign exchange market, or forex, is the world’s largest and most liquid financial market, with daily volumes above $5 trillion. It is made up of spot FX, futures, forwards, and contracts for difference (CFDs). Among these, forex CFDs are the most popular for retail traders because they offer flexibility, leverage, and access to global currency pairs without owning the underlying asset.

Forex CFDs are traded over the counter (OTC), meaning there is no centralized exchange. Instead, liquidity comes from major international banks and providers, each quoting their own prices. The spot FX market acts as the benchmark, with prices moving constantly based on economic data, geopolitical events, and market sentiment.

Trading forex CFDs allows you to go long if you expect a currency to rise or short if you believe it will fall. Profit or loss depends on price movement, trade size, and pip value. A pip measures the smallest change in price, while the spread — the difference between bid and ask shows the cost of trading. Skyriss offers fractional pip pricing, ensuring tighter spreads and more accurate execution.

All forex is quoted in pairs, such as EUR/USD = 1.11361, meaning €1 equals $1.11361. If the euro rises against the dollar, a long trade would profit; if it falls, a short trade would gain. With forex CFDs, traders can benefit from both rising and falling markets.
