Did you know that you don't just operate with a single currency or asset, but with a pair? Understanding trading pairs is essential to navigate the financial markets, whether you are in Forex, cryptocurrencies, or stocks.
In #TradingPairs101, we will explain what they are and why they are so important:
* What is a trading pair? It is the quotation of two different assets, where the value of one is expressed in terms of the other. For example, in EUR/USD, the Euro (EUR) is the base currency and the US Dollar (USD) is the quote currency. You always buy one and sell the other simultaneously!
* Types of pairs in Forex:
* Major pairs: Include the US Dollar (USD) and are the most liquid and traded (e.g., EUR/USD, GBP/USD, USD/JPY).
* Minor or cross pairs: Do not include the USD (e.g., EUR/JPY, GBP/AUD).
* Exotic pairs: Combine a major currency with one from an emerging economy (e.g., USD/MXN, EUR/TRY). They tend to have lower liquidity and higher volatility.
* Pairs in cryptocurrencies: Works similarly. For example, BTC/USD tells you how many dollars you need to buy one Bitcoin, or ETH/BTC shows you the value of Ethereum in terms of Bitcoin.
* Why are they important? The pair indicates the value relationship between the two assets and is crucial for understanding how the market moves. Liquidity, volatility, and trading hours vary greatly among different pairs, affecting your strategy.
