What Is Forex Trading?

Forex (foreign exchange) is the global market for trading currencies. With $7.5 trillion traded daily, it is the largest financial market in the world. Forex trading involves buying one currency while selling another — for example, buying EUR/USD means buying Euros and selling US Dollars. The goal: profit from changes in exchange rates.

How Currency Pairs Work

Currencies trade in pairs: EUR/USD, GBP/JPY, USD/JPY, etc. The first currency is the "base" and the second is the "quote." When EUR/USD rises from 1.0800 to 1.0900, it means the Euro strengthened against the Dollar. Major pairs (involving USD) are most liquid: EUR/USD, GBP/USD, USD/JPY, USD/CHF. Cross pairs exclude USD: EUR/GBP, GBP/JPY, AUD/NZD.
