Forex Account Opening: Instruction and Registration Process: A foreign exchange account, or forex account, is used to hold and trade foreign currency. Typically, you open an account, deposit money denominated in your country’s currency, and then buy and sell currency pairs. Your goal, of course, is to make money on your trades.

The process of opening a forex account is simple. And you can see it right now.

To do it, you need to enter your personal cabinet at FBS and click on the button “Open account” in the upper right corner of the website. But before we go into the forex account opening process, let’s find out what are the advantages and functions of opening a forex account.

Forex Requirements and Benefits

You may wonder why forex brokers want to know all this information. The simple answer is to comply with the law. The environment surrounding forex trading has a relatively low degree of regulation, but more regulations have been introduced in recent years to provide some degree of protection or assurance for account holders. In addition, forex brokers need to ask these questions to protect themselves from the risk of loss. They want to make sure that clients who have exceeded their leverage can recoup any unexpected losses.

It is unlikely that you will find a broker willing to open your trading account without asking these questions. If you do find a broker that doesn’t ask a lot of questions, you should be wary. If you have doubts about a particular broker, you can contact the National Futures Association to find out their status.
