The Financial Market

Get an understanding of the steps involved in placing a trade, including how to protect yourself against risk and use leverage wisely.

Trade The Financial Market

Trading is the process of implementing investment decisions and other types of financial asset purchases or sales. Whereas investment tends to focus on what to do, trading is more directly concerned with how to do it. An important impetus for trading is the portfolio management process. Specific decisions in the trading process are dominated by economics—real or expected costs and benefits resulting from the trading choices made. The impact of economics has always been an important determinant in trading, and this importance has increased as the percentage of trades generated primarily to profit from trading (as opposed to investment) has grown. When a portfolio manager decides to modify a portfolio by buying or selling instruments, he or she generates an order to buy or sell. The order to buy or sell is usually passed to someone charged with managing the order through the execution process. Whether that person is the portfolio manager acting in a different role, a dedicated buy-side trader, or an agent.

Important Points of the Financial Markets

It is the market, an arrangement, or institution which facilitates the exchange of financial instruments and financial securities.

It may have or not have a physical location. The assets can be exchanged between the parties over the phone or the internet as well.

Some of the financial markets are very small with a little amount of activity, while some of the financial markets trade trillions of amounts of securities daily.

The Benefits of Investment Trading With Leverage

Magnified profits

This leveraged margin trade then allows you to receive higher profits if the position goes the right way. However, the risk is that if the trade is unsuccessful the losses can be magnified too.

Portfolio diversification

By margin trading the trader is not forced to put too much of their capital into one trade. It allows for the remaining capital to be diversified around other trades and markets.

Gaining from the market fall

When trading on margin, traders can profit from a falling market by opening a short position, meaning they have the intent to sell high and buy back low.

Leverage Trading Explanation

If a trader takes a short position of 10,000 XRP on 10x leverage, and the price of Ripple falls 3% the trader will earn a profit of 300 XRP. A similar spot trade without leverage would result in only 30 XRP earned.

Disclaimer: Margin trading also comes with inherent risks if the position moves against the trade. You should never utilize 100% leverage and never invest more than you can afford to lose.
