Another option is trading this currency pair via the bank or other similar financial institutions, but then the payout is often slow and not as exciting.
The best option is to open a live trading account with a leading and FSCA regulated brokerage such as CMTrading, where you can enjoy advanced trading conditions and incredible educational packages that are tailored to your individual needs as a trader.
What factors influence the EUR/CAD?

The Canadian dollar, on the other hand is affected by the balance of trade, unemployment rates, and the Bank of Canada’s interest rate decisions.
Given Canada’s status as a provider of natural resources, it is wise to track commodities like copper, timber, oil, and others.
