#交易对 #交易对 In the financial market, a trading pair refers to two assets or financial instruments that are related to each other in the trading process and are used for buying and selling exchange. Here is a detailed introduction to trading pairs:
Definition and Composition
• A trading pair usually consists of a base asset and a quote asset. For example, in the stock market, if an investor buys a stock with Renminbi, then the stock is the base asset and Renminbi is the quote asset, forming a "stock/Renminbi" trading pair. In the forex market, in the "USD/JPY" trading pair, the US dollar is the base currency, and the Japanese yen is the quote currency.
