currencies, stocks, or cryptocurrencies using the internet.
You do it through a platform or mobile app, without needing a
middleman or going to a physical exchange.

You buy $100 worth of Apple stock from your phone. If
the price goes up, you can sell it and keep the profit all
from your trading app.

The Forex market is where people trade one currency for
another. It operates 24 hours a day, five days a week.
You make profit by predicting whether a currency will go up
or down compared to another.
Example:
You buy the EUR/USD pair at 1.1000 (meaning 1 Euro =
1.10 USD). If the value moves to 1.1200, your Euro has
gained value, and you earn a profit when you sell.
Stock
Market Explained
The stock market is where investors buy shares (stocks) of
public companies. When you buy a stock, you become a part-
owner of that company.
If the company does well, its stock price usually increases —
and you make a profit.
Example:
You buy 1 share of Tesla at $200. If it rises to $250, you
earn $50 if you sell.
Crypto
Market Explained
Crypto trading is buying and selling digital currencies that are
not controlled by any government. It’s a new and fast-
growing market.
Prices move quickly and are influenced by news, global
demand, and innovation.
Example:
You buy 0.01 Bitcoin (BTC) at $30,000. If BTC rises to
$35,000, you can sell and make a $50 profit.
