As an international student in the united Kingdom, is it legal to trade forex in United Kingdom why also schooling?

Does the word forex sound illegal to you?

read my sentence very well. Is it legal to trade forex as international students in UK? Because, international students are restricted to so many things like; work 20hrs/wk and you must not render any services weather volumtrily/involumtrily because any thing done aside the 20hrs/wk is consider illegal. Do you now understand?

Ask justwise the MOD of the travel section. He's an expert on UK stay conditions

Thanks, i appreciate

I'd like to know this too.

Any concrete information?

Anyways, it's not like you "announce" that you're trading. You simply have the software on your PC and run it - esp. as most of us are already set up (i.e we've had an account before leaving nigeria).

I'm just wondering if they'd frown upon an international student trading forex if they got to know.

Would withdrawing your earnings to your UK Account cause any red flags or is it safer to just withdraw to your Nigerian Bank Account?

Any insights on this appreciated.

I don't think trading forex as a student in the UK is illegal, is as if asking buying shares and stocks whether it's illegal. Why you where given 20 hours weekly was for you to be able to have time for your studies. Talking about your question, buying and selling of currency pairs in your room won't be illegal bro.

As far as I know, its not illegal but to be on a safer side, open a domiciliary account in Nigeria and use it to trade. That's all
