Popular Forex Pairs to Trade

• USD/JPY – US Dollar / Japanese Yen

• AUD/USD – Australian Dollar / US Dollar

2. Minor Pairs:

Minor pairs involve the currencies of smaller economies, but they still offer liquidity and can be a great way to diversify your portfolio.

• EUR/GBP – Euro / British Pound

• EUR/AUD – Euro / Australian Dollar

• GBP/JPY – British Pound / Japanese Yen

3. Exotic Pairs:

Exotic pairs consist of a major currency and a currency from an emerging market. These pairs tend to have wider spreads but may offer higher volatility and trading opportunities.

• USD/TRY – US Dollar / Turkish Lira

• EUR/TRY – Euro / Turkish Lira

• GBP/ZAR – British Pound / South African Rand

How Forex Trading Works

1. Opening a Position:

When you trade forex, you are either buying or selling a currency pair. For example, if you buy the EUR/USD pair, you are purchasing Euros and selling US Dollars at the same time. If you believe the Euro will rise in value against the Dollar, you can open a long position (buy). If you believe the Euro will fall, you can open a short position (sell).

2. Leverage and Margin:

Forex trading typically involves using leverage, which allows you to trade with a smaller amount of capital, controlling a larger position. For example, with 500:1 leverage, you can control $500,000 in currency with just $1,000 in margin. However, it’s important to use leverage responsibly, as it can increase both potential profits and losses.

3. Understanding Pips:

A pip (percentage in point) is the smallest unit of movement in a currency pair. For example, if the EUR/USD moves from 1.1000 to 1.1005, it has moved 5 pips. The value of a pip depends on the currency pair and the size of the trade.

4. Market Orders and Limit Orders:

A market order is executed immediately at the current market price, while a limit order allows you to set a specific price at which you want your trade to be executed.
