The main tool for Forex trading

Foreign Exchange is the world's largest currency market. The daily turnover is trillions of dollars.

DEFINITION OF CURRENCY PAIR

 

Forex trading is a derivative of a currency pair. Its cost is calculated by the ratio of the two currencies.

 

For example, consider EUR / USD - this is a currency pair where the euro is valued against the dollar. Euro is the base currency (written first), and US dollar is the quote currency (written second).

 

When deciding, the liquidity of the instrument is taken into account, namely the ability to sell at a bargain price, which depends on demand. The more and more stable the demand, the higher the liquidity.

 

Requirements:

  • have minimum spread;
  • to be executed quickly;
  • have a low risk of slippage.

 

These properties are: dollar, euro, British pound sterling, Japanese yen, Swiss franc, Canadian and Australian dollars. Effective combinations are created from these market leaders.
