Currency Investment
Trading spot forex is only one of the investment vehicle you can ride on when in comes to currencies. There are
actually a few, all requiring certain knowledge and expertise to take advantage of, with different
sets of risks and rewards.
It is easier to differentiate these currency investments in terms of their duration: short-term or long-term.
You can pick the type that suits your needs: long-term if you prefer to buy and hold safer investments
for months or even years. Short-term if you're more interested in quick trades (albeit riskier), in
shorter timeframes like mere minutes or days. The table below separates the different sets of currency
investments, so you can look at the opportunities that suit your needs best straight away.
