Forex is a global financial market where all currencies over the world trade. It is also known as forex exchange, FX or currency trade; it is the world’s largest market with a daily trading average of $6.5 trillion.

A forex currency pair is the value of the base currency and the counter currency. A currency’s value can change depending on the economy’s strength, political stability, inflation, interest rate, trade balance, productivity, and risk.

Leverage is the practice of borrowing funds to increase the potential returns on investment. In the forex market, leverage can be utilized by investing with forex brokerages that offer margin accounts to their clients. A reminder that traders should not spend more money than they have when making a trade.

When you trade with leverage, you do not need to pay the full value of the trade upfront. Instead, a small deposit is put down, known as the margin. If you close a leveraged position, your profit or loss is based on the trade’s overall view.

Leverage can therefore magnify your profits. However, it also brings the risk of increased losses, including those losses that exceed your deposit. With leverage trading, it is essential to manage your risk through learning.

Pips is the term used to measure the movement in a forex pair. The forex pip is the moment of the fourth decimal place in a currency pair. For example, if the EUR/USD changes from $1.3531 to $1.3532, it is classified as a single pip. If the decimal place appears to be after the pip, it is known as micro pips or pipettes and represent a fraction of the pip.

However, there is an exception to this rule if the currency is listed in much smaller denominations, for example, the Japanese Yen. A single movement in the second decimal place constitutes as a single pip. Here, if there is a second decimal place movement, it constitutes a single pip. If EUR/JPY changes from ¥172.18 to ¥172.17, it has moved a single pip.

The forex market is mostly OTC (Over the counter). It happens either on the phone between banks and other participants or via electronic platforms. 3% of the trades are completed on exchanges.

All currency trades are completed in pairs. For example, when you sell your currency, you would receive the payment in a different currency. Every traveller who has exchanged money to get foreign currency has taken part in forex trading.

An example of this is when you go on holiday somewhere in Europe, and you exchange pounds for euros at the current rate. You sell your pounds to buy euros. When you come back, you might sell your euros to get pounds.
