What Are Currency Pairs?

In forex, all transactions involve currency pairs, where one currency is bought while another is simultaneously sold. For example, in the pair EUR/USD, the euro (EUR) is the base currency, and the U.S. dollar (USD) is the quote currency. If EUR/USD is trading at 1.1000, it means one euro is worth 1.10 U.S. dollars.

Types of Currency Pairs

FoxTrading offers access to a wide range of currency pairs, classified into three categories:

Major Pairs: These include the most traded currencies worldwide like EUR/USD, USD/JPY, GBP/USD, and USD/CHF. They are highly liquid and often have tight spreads.

Minor Pairs: These pairs do not include the U.S. dollar but involve other major global currencies such as EUR/GBP, EUR/AUD, and GBP/JPY.

Exotic Pairs: Involving one major currency and one currency from a developing economy, such as USD/TRY (U.S. Dollar/Turkish Lira) or EUR/THB (Euro/Thai Baht). These can be more volatile but may offer higher profit potential.
