200,000 Yen Monthly Income in Half a Year from Zero FX Experience! Earning Power Starting from Scratch 1
Chapter 1: What is FX? Why can you earn money from it?
You might currently have the impression that "I hear about FX often, but it seems difficult" or "It seems dangerous."
However, if you learn correctly and practice by following the rules, FX can be a sufficiently profitable method even for investment beginners.
In this chapter, I will first explain the basics of FX and why there is a possibility for even beginners to earn money in an easy-to-understand way.
1-1. FX is "buying and selling currencies"
FX (Foreign Exchange) is a financial transaction where you earn profits by buying and selling different currencies.
For example, you aim for profit by utilizing the price difference of currency pairs, such as "buying US dollars and selling them for yen."
Actual example:
Buy when 1 dollar = 140 yen
Sell when 1 dollar = 141 yen
→ The 1 yen difference becomes your profit.
A feature of FX is that you can perform "two-way trading," where you buy if you think it will "go up" and sell if you think it will "go down" to generate profit.
1-2. What is leverage? The reason why there are opportunities even with small capital
The biggest feature of FX is "leverage" (the principle of leverage).
In Japan, leverage of up to 25 times is permitted, allowing you to trade up to 2.5 million yen worth with 100,000 yen of capital.
This means that you can "aim for large profits even with a small amount of initial capital."
For example, if there is a situation where the price moves by 1 yen in a day, it is possible to make a profit of about 10,000 yen with 10,000 currency units (about 100,000 yen).
However, this also means that "losses will also expand."
Therefore, correct risk management and trading rules become extremely important.
1-3. Why can beginners earn money? A world with little information disparity
In stock investment, it is necessary to analyze internal corporate information and economic indicators.
On the other hand, in FX, traders around the world trade based on 'almost the same information'.
In other words, there is less information disparity, meaning it is easier for beginners to stand on a level playing field.
Furthermore, the FX market is the world's largest financial market, and there are significant price movements every day.
Therefore, by consistently following the rules and repeating the process, even beginners can generate stable profits.
1-4. Differences from other investments and the merits of FX
Investment Target: Stocks
Trading Hours: Weekdays 9:00-15:00
Small Amount OK: △

Trading Hours: 24 hours

FX has advantages such as 'being able to trade 24 hours a day on weekdays,' 'stable chart movements,' and 'being easy to start with a small amount.'
Also, it is possible to receive swap points (profits from interest rate differentials), allowing you to aim for income other than trading.
