Forex trading, also known as foreign exchange trading, is the world’s largest financial market, with daily transactions exceeding $7 trillion. It offers traders the opportunity to buy and sell currencies, speculate on price movements, and access a market that operates 24 hours a day, five days a week.

At NAJM Capital, we provide traders in MENA and globally with access to professional-grade forex trading platforms, tight spreads, and multiple account types that match every trading style.

What is Forex Trading?

Forex trading involves exchanging one currency for another in the hopes of making a profit. The market is decentralized, meaning it operates through banks, brokers, and electronic trading networks rather than a single exchange.

Currencies are traded in pairs, such as EUR/USD or GBP/JPY. The first currency is the base currency, while the second is the quote currency. Traders speculate on whether the base currency will rise or fall in value relative to the quote currency.

Why Trade Forex?

Traders worldwide choose forex because:

• Liquidity –  With trillions traded daily, it’s the most liquid market.
• Leverage – Forex allows traders to control larger positions with smaller deposits.
• Accessibility – Forex markets are open 24/5, across time zones.
• Diverse Opportunities – Major, minor, and exotic pairs provide options for all strategies.

At NAJM Capital, clients benefit from leverage up to 500:1, institutional-grade spreads, and global market access.

How Forex Trading Works

Forex prices move due to supply and demand factors such as interest rates, inflation, global trade, and geopolitical events. For example:

• If traders expect the U.S. economy to perform strongly, demand for USD may increase.
• If oil prices rise, commodity currencies like CAD (Canadian dollar) often strengthen.

Traders profit by buying when they expect a currency to rise and selling when they expect it to fall.

Types of Forex Pairs

• Major Pairs – Most liquid pairs like EUR/USD, USD/JPY, GBP/USD.
• Minor Pairs – Pairs excluding USD, such as EUR/GBP or AUD/JPY.
• Exotic Pairs – One major currency paired with an emerging market currency, like USD/TRY.
