  • Understanding the Forex currency pairs

    Many traders who begin with currency exchange are looking to make a profit from major currencies. An understanding of the relationship between two currencies helps to set expectations for profit and loss during a trade.

    First, it becomes important to understand the dynamics of the pair- which currency is base and which counters.
    The numbers make sense only after having set the correct relation. For instance the USD is almost always a 'base' currency. But, the GBP is a counter.
    Next, a look at the exchange rate between the two is important.

    There are basically three types of exchanged rates- fixed, adjustable, or floating.

    After you put it all together, you will understand the importance of the currency market.

      All currency trading is done in pairs. Unlike the stock market, where you can buy or sell a single stock, you have to buy one currency and sell another currency in theforex market.
