What is forex trading and how does it work?
Forex, or foreign exchange trading, involves buying and selling currency pairs — such as AUD/USD — with the aim of profiting from changes in exchange rates. It is the largest financial market in the world, operating 24 hours a day, five days a week. Australian traders typically access forex markets through an ASIC-regulated broker, using platforms that allow them to speculate on whether one currency will rise or fall in value relative to another. Leverage is commonly used, which can amplify both gains and losses.

What is the difference between forex trading and cryptocurrency trading?
Forex trading involves exchanging traditional government-issued currencies, such as the Australian dollar against the US dollar, within a highly regulated and liquid global market. Cryptocurrency trading, by contrast, involves buying and selling decentralised digital assets like Bitcoin or Ethereum on crypto exchanges. While both markets operate around the clock and can be highly volatile, forex is generally considered more stable and predictable, whereas crypto markets are newer, less regulated, and can experience far more dramatic price swings in short periods.
