• analyze the financial market;

• decide whether to buy or sell the currency;

• submit a command to open a trading position; it goes to the broker's server;

• the broker sends information about liquidity to the client terminal;

• the client observes the price of the asset and closes the transaction when the best price is presented, or the operation becomes unprofitable.

One should not forget that each transaction is accompanied by the broker's fees, which are called spreads. The spread is calculated once at the moment of transaction opening. It equals the difference between the price set by the seller and the price the buyer is willing to pay. It is impossible to trade without paying the spread.
