Forex
Urząd Komisji Nadzoru Finansowego (UKNF) presents the results of clients' trad-ing on the Forex market for the year 2023 and the four previous years. They are based on a methodology which relies on the achieved result of a client as per account balance at the end of a calendar year which is the effect of transac-tions executed in a given year on trading platforms which enable investing in OTC derivatives.
The analysis has shown that the majority of active clients (73%) lose on transac-tions in this type of instruments. In 2023, the percentage of clients who incurred a loss decreased. Both the average gain and the average loss per client de-creased. The average result per client was a loss (though smaller than in the previous year). In 2023, the total value of losses incurred by clients who, overall, incurred a loss represented five times the total value of gains of clients who achieved a gain.
