FX trading, also known as foreign exchange trading, or forex trading, is the exchange of different currencies on a decentralised global market. It's one of the largest and most liquid financial markets in the world. Forex trading involves the simultaneous buying and selling of the world's currencies on this market.
Trading forex has several benefits, including the ability to trade on margin, high liquidity and the flexibility to trade around the clock from Sunday through to Friday. Some potential risks of forex trading using CFDs include loss of all of your capital, the risk of account close out as well as market volatility and gapping. Read more on our forex comprehensive guide.
Holding rates for FX are based on the tom-next rate in the underlying market for the currency pair and are expressed as an annual percentage, with an additional CMC Markets charge of 1% added. To view the holding rates for individual FX pairs, please refer to the 'Product Overview' for the relevant pair.
No, we do not offer currency exchange facilities.

Forex is always traded in pairs, meaning you sell one currency to buy another. While forex trading and currency trading both involve exchanging one currency for another, forex CFD trading specifically refers to speculative trading on the foreign exchange market, while currency trading can also include non-speculative exchanges like travel money or international business transactions.
