What are the Disadvantages of the Forex Market |
Leverage Risks
Forex markets provide the opportunity to leverage. Leverage, on the other hand, means two things: high earnings and high risk. Obviously, we hope that you know that in the investment world, where the risk is high, the reward is also greater. But, of course, not everyone is chasing high rewards and wants to take high risks. So at this point, preferences or conscious use come into play.
When you start trading on the Forex market, no one will force you to use leverage. This choice will be entirely up to you. However, if you decide to use leverage, you will also have to do it consciously. With a conscious use, you can thus eliminate the risk of possible leverage.
Ignorance and Inexperience
The exchange of information on the Internet and social media networks can easily cause people to take a cursory look at the state of the forex market and make transactions without the need for in-depth analysis. This can also be a big risk.
However, one needs to devote some time to oneself for training and learn the basics. Because ignorance can cause losses. For example, changes in the interest rates of a country have an impact on exchange rates. Due to this relationship between interest rates and exchange rates, the difference in currency values can cause forex prices to change Dec Decisively. For this reason, it is important to learn topics closely related to the Forex market, such as factors affecting exchange rates.
Management of Transactions
Although it is easy to learn, it can be challenging for some to manage Forex transactions operationally, especially at the beginning. This is due to the fact that the Forex market always works 24 hours a day, 5 days a week, but people do not work.
Therefore, it would be a good idea to plan at the very beginning how to manage positions in any case, although it may vary from person to person and even according to expectations. Because unplanned and insufficient follow-up can lead to significant profit losses for you.
Account Opening Balance
We have mentioned that the CMB has made an arrangement for the Forex market and has updated the leverage ratio to be a maximum of 1:10. However, the CMB has also made a regulation on the lower limit of opening accounts in Forex brokerage firms operating in Turkey. According to this regulation, licensed brokerage firms in our country are required to deposit a minimum balance of 50 thousand US in order to open a Forex account.
For many people, this may not sound like a high amount, but most small investors may not be able to evaluate the advantages in the Forex markets due to the regulation that occurs on the minimum account opening sub-balance. Therefore, we think that the requirement to start investing with a minimum balance of 50 thousand GBP in Forex is not very democratic and is a disadvantage.
By the way, in the VIOP market, where the minimum Decommissioning balance is quite low, you can make currency, stock and commodity transactions that you can make on the Forex market. For example, it is possible to open an account in the VIOP market for quite low amounts, such as 500 pounds, as well as the ability to make leveraged transactions.
