What you trade in forex

Every forex trade buys one currency and sells another. In EURUSD the euro is the base currency and the dollar the quote currency: a price of 1.1000 means one euro is worth 1.10 dollars. You buy the pair if you expect the base currency to rise and sell it if you expect it to fall.

  • Majors: the US dollar against the euro, yen, pound, Swiss franc and the Canadian, Australian and New Zealand dollars.
  • Minors: pairs without the dollar, such as EURGBP, GBPJPY and AUDNZD.
  • Emerging and Scandinavian: currencies such as the Turkish lira, Mexican peso, South African rand and Swedish krona against the dollar, euro, pound and yen.

Pips and lots

Most pairs are quoted to five decimal places, and a pip is the fourth: from 1.1000 to 1.1001 is one pip. Yen pairs are quoted to three decimals, so a pip is the second.

One lot is a contract for 100,000 units of the base currency, and the smallest trade is 0.01 lots.

When forex trades
