Do you think that forex is a gambling ?? Why ?? Because i'd like to try it, but someone tell me that it was a gambling... Thanks
If you are using forex because you have revenue or expenses in another currency it can reduce risk of drastic moves in the currency. However forex in the sense that you mean it is gambling. Very few people have been able to accurately predict currency swings consistently.
I did it for 2 years and my advice is stay away from it. Its highly volatile, but if you must do it, get a practice account (most better forex platforms allow you to do that and tell you to do it at least 2 years) then if you think you can make some money go for it, but I'll tell you 95% of the people who try it lose all their money.
You trade currencies against each other. For instance the dollar against the pound, or the euro against the yen, or the pound against the euro. You bet which one will rise higher than the other and if you're right you make money, otherwise you can lose your shirt.
Anything involving high risk investments is considered gambling, including the US stock market. As for Forex, I would NEVER invest in it. That's just my opinion. You may think differently.
i guess it can be classified as gambling. since you may be putting money out there and taking some risk.
