Will the investor's mood affect the success rate of cooking? Speculation in foreign exchange, that is, foreign exchange margin trading, signs a contract with a (designated investment) bank, opens a trust investment account to ensure the deposit of funds (margin), and the (investment) bank (or stock exchange) sets the credit operation limit (that is, the leverage effect is 20-400 times, and it is illegal to exceed 400 times). Investors are free to buy and sell the equivalent spot foreign exchange within the quota, and the gains and losses arising from the operation will be automatically deducted or deposited from the above investment account. Small investors can use small funds to obtain large trading volume, and use foreign exchange transactions to avoid risks and create profit opportunities in exchange rate changes, just like world capital.
