What is Forex Trading
Forex trading, derived from Foreign Exchange, is the process of exchanging one currency for another through secure online platforms connected to Forex brokers. Forex trading is a popular way for Kenyans to profit from trading the world’s largest financial market, with a daily trading volume of over $5.3 trillion. Forex trading in Kenya is legal and regulated, and Kenyan Forex traders are protected by the Kenyan Capital Markets Authority (CMA).
Every day, thousands of Kenyan traders buy and sell currency pairs, such as the EUR/USD, hoping to make a profit through the fluctuations in exchange rates. It´s difficult to predict the changes in exchange rates between currencies. They are determined by complex economic, political, and technical factors, making Forex trading both a risky yet potentially profitable career.
