What are Currency Pairs?

Currency pairs are financial instruments where one currency is quoted against another currency. The quote indicates the amount you would pay in one currency for the other.

Here's a simplified example:

The currency pair GBP/USD is at 1.15. You can exchange 1 GBP for 1.15 USD.

  • If GBP/USD started the day at 1.15, and by the end of the day rose to 1.16, it's because the Sterling has strengthened against the Dollar.
  • If GBP/USD started the day at 1.15, then drops 1.13, it's because the Sterling has weakened against the Dollar.

Down

The base currency is the first currency in a currency pair, it represents how much of that currency is needed to buy one unit of the quote currency - which is the second currency in the pair. For example, USD/GBP quotes how much USD is needed to buy a single GBP.

Is Forex CFD trading the same as Forex trading?

Down

No, Forex CFD trading involves trading contracts for difference (CFDs) based on the foreign exchange market, while traditional forex trading involves buying and selling actual currency pairs.

How is forex profit and loss calculated?

Down

Forex profit and loss is calculated based on the difference between the purchase and sale price of a currency pair. If the sale price is higher than the purchase price, the trader makes a profit. Conversely, if the sale price is lower than the purchase price, the trader incurs a loss. The profit or loss amount is calculated in the base currency of the account and is influenced by factors such as lot size, leverage, and pip value.
