According to the latest report by the Bank for International Settlements (BIS), the Forex market’s daily trading volume reached $7.5 trillion in April 2022. This volume is 30 times greater than the daily global GDP and 14% higher than early 2019. Retail trading has reached an all-time high in 2023. This alone speaks to the popularity and potential profitability of trading.
However, statistics show that a significant percentage of traders struggle to make consistent profits. Another study by the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) found that 70% of retail traders experienced losses in their trading accounts, with the average loss being substantial, ranging from $1,750 to $31,730. This shows the importance of equipping yourself with the right knowledge and resources to succeed in trading.
OctaFX, a leading international Forex broker, provides educational resources and tools for beginner traders. The company is hosting two upcoming webinars that can help you kickstart your trading journey and get the necessary knowledge.
The first webinar, titled ‘What you need to know before opening your first order’, will take place on 13 April 2023, at 6:00 PM Nigerian time. Tunmise Olaoluwa, an experienced trader who has worked in the industry for over a decade, will lead the webinar. In this webinar, you’ll learn the basics of Forex trading, including how to read charts, identify trends, and manage risks. By the end of the session, you’ll understand what it takes to make successful trades in the Forex market.
The second webinar, ‘Top 13 trading mistakes and how to avoid them’, will be held on 20 April 2023, at 6:00 PM Nigerian time. Tunmise Olaoluwa will also be conducting the lessons.
