Forex
Forex is a market in which interested people (traders) exchange one foreign currency for another online at the rate of the largest global over-the-counter participants. The market is so liquid and global that it is not tied to specific exchanges. Opening transactions online is faster and more profitable than in an exchange office near your home.
However, the amounts appearing here are many orders of magnitude higher, and therefore the trading turnover of the Forex market is currently the largest in the world. In fact, neither the stock market with all the stocks in the world, nor the metals market with all the available gold in circulation can compare in terms of purchase and sale turnover with the forex market, the average daily turnover of which exceeds 6.5 trillion dollars.
Just imagine this financial power!
Meaning of the term Forex
Forex stands for exchange of foreign currency. These two words form the basis of the abbreviation Forex or FX.
In this market, it is possible to start making transactions for the purchase and sale of foreign currency in a split second, since it operates around the clock, 5 days a week, and has a huge turnover. Fluctuations in exchange rates are several times lower compared to the stock market. The combination of these properties allows Calistatrade to provide margin trading for its clients, that is, you can open transactions in a volume that significantly exceeds your current financial capabilities. To do this, we provide our traders with leverage.

Commodities
Everyone knows the concept of stock trading, but commodity trading is much less common. What it is? Commodity trading is one way to diversify an investment portfolio by buying and selling commodities such as oil and natural gas, base and precious metals, and agricultural products including wheat, coffee and sugar.
Traders speculate on the future value of commodities, seeking to profit from price fluctuations. Please note that increased volatility makes trading commodities risky as the price may suddenly change against your trade, triggering losses.
Some traders seek to hedge against inflation by trading commodities. Assets in their portfolio may rise in value as commodity prices rise.
What does the commodity market include?
Commodities can be divided into four main categories:
Agricultural products. These include food crops (cocoa, cotton, corn, coffee, and others), livestock (pigs, cattle), and industrial crops (such as palm oil and lumber).
Energy products. These include natural gas, crude oil and gasoline, coal and uranium, ethanol and electricity.
Metal products. This category covers non-ferrous metals (copper, iron ore, zinc, aluminum, nickel, steel, etc.) and precious metals (gold, silver, palladium and platinum).
Ecological products. These include renewable energy certificates, carbon emissions certificates and white certificates (certifying achievement of a specified reduction in energy consumption).
Indices
A stock index is an indicator reflecting the general, current and historical performance of a particular securities market, the value of which is based on the value of a basket of shares of one country, sector or group of shares. The FTSE100 index represents the 100 largest market capitalization companies listed on the London Stock Exchange, while the S&P500 index consists of 500 US stocks.
Charles Dow created the first stock index in May 1896. The Dow Jones Industrial Average included the 12 largest companies in the United States, and today the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJI) includes the 30 largest companies in the United States.
Every stock exchange in the world and every country has a reference stock index (benchmark), and some even have several. Since it is nearly impossible to track every stock in every country, stock indexes allow traders and investors to measure the overall performance of a stock market or country.
Economists, politicians and analysts use stock indices to measure the health of financial markets and the companies in those markets.
What is index trading?
Most traders know the names and abbreviations of the world’s major stock indices, but not everyone knows that they can also be traded through contracts for difference (CFDs). Not only can stock index CFDs be analyzed, but they can also be bought and sold in a similar way to how stocks are traded, earning profits.
If you want to learn more about index trading, one of the best ways is to get advice from a professional. Register an account for the Calistatrade and our specialists will contact you.

Stocks
Stock trading is the process of buying and selling shares of a company that are officially listed on the stock exchange. The goal is to potentially benefit from price fluctuations, however, it should be remembered that all investing and trading involve risk.
What does it mean to trade in shares? The goal of traders is to buy shares at low prices, hold them for a certain period of time, and then sell them at higher prices. This distinguishes trading from stock investing, which involves purchasing and holding securities for the long term.
When trading, you have the option of either purchasing actual shares or trading derivatives of the underlying asset, such as Share Contracts for Difference (CFDs), which allow you to speculate on share price movements.
Calistatrade provides the opportunity to trade the most popular shares of the European and US markets.

Cryptocurrencies
Crypto trading is the process of buying and selling digital currencies on crypto exchanges in order to make a profit. Crypto trading is based on the principles of trading in financial markets, but with a focus on digital assets. Traders and investors use various strategies and tools to predict cryptocurrency price movements and make buy or sell decisions, which is completely different from mining.
Unlike traditional financial markets, cryptocurrencies operate on the basis of blockchain technology, which provides decentralization and transparency. This means that crypto trading is carried out without the participation of intermediaries: banks or government organizations.
Just like trading the stock market, you can use technical and fundamental analysis to predict price movements and make decisions based on the data.
Crypto trading provides the opportunity to make money on changes in cryptocurrency prices. Please note that the cryptocurrency market is highly risky and volatile. Therefore, before starting crypto trading, it is recommended to obtain sufficient education and experience, as well as thoroughly study the market and various strategies. Highly qualified Calistatrade specialists will help you with this.
