Forex trading is different with stock market trading in order to get profit. Example; stock market trading is same like business where you sold product more than you buy but in forex trading both side can get profit whether uptrend and downtrend depend on your position for position buy going up is profit and position sell going down is profit. but you must understand every position we make -2 happening. example we predict that uptrend will be happening then we make position buy at that time usd 1.3600 ((EUR/USD example we are using 1 Euro vs 1.3600usd ) depend on platform) -2.
