Forex also known as foreign exchange or FX, refers to the global, over the counter market(OTC) where traders, investors, institutions and banks, exchange speculate on, buy and sell world currencies.
All transactions made on the forex market involve the simultaneous purchasing and selling of two currencies. These are called “currency Pairs” and include a base currency and a quote currency. One of the most common currency pairs used in the market is (EUR/USD).
A ‘position’ is the term used to describe a trade in progress. A long position means a trade has bought currency expecting the value to increase. Once the trader sells that currency back to the market(ideally for a higher price than he paid) his long position is said to be ‘closed’ and the trade is complete. A short position refers to a trader who sells a currency expecting it to decrease, and plans to buy it back at a lower value. A short position is ‘closed’ once the trader buys back the asset.(Ideally for less than he sold it for).
For example, if the currency pair EUR/USD was trading at 1.0916/1.0918, then an investor looking to open a long position on the EUR would purchase 1EUR for 1.0918 USD. The trader will then hold the EUR in the hopes that it will appreciate, selling it back to the market at a profit, once the price has increased.
An investor going short on EUR would sell 1EUR for 1.0916 USD. This trader expects the EUR to depreciate, and plans to buy it back at a lower rate, if it does.
Exotics are currencies from emerging or smaller economies, paired with a major.
Compared to crosses and majors, exotics are much riskier to trade because they are less liquid, more volatile, and more susceptible to manipulation.
They also contain wider spreads, and are more sensitive to sudden shifts in political and financial developments.
Below, we have created a table, which showcases several different currency pairs, from each bracket, as well as some nicknames, which was coined by traders themselves.

The base currency is the first currency that appears in a forex pair. The currency is bought or sold, in exchange for the quote currency.
TIP: Forex prices are often quoted to four decimal places because their spread differences are typically very small. However, there is no definitive rule, when it comes to the number of decimal places used for forex quotes.

Major pairs are the most commonly traded, and account for nearly 80% of trade volume on the forex market. These currency pairs could typically have low volatility and high liquidity.
They are associated with stable, well managed economies, are less susceptible to manipulation and have smaller spreads than other pairs
A candlestick is a chart, also known as a Japanese Candlestick chart, and is favored by traders due to the wide range of information they portray. The chart displays the high, low, opening and closing of prices.
A candle stick has three points; open close and the wicks. The wicks show the high to low range and the ‘real body’ (wide section) shows traders if the closing price was higher or lower than the opening price.
A bar chart shows the opening, close, high and low of the currency pairs.
The top of the bar, represents the highest paid price and the bottom indicates the lowest traded price for that specific time period.
The actual bar represents the currency pair’s overall trading range and the horizontal lines on the sides represents the opening(left) and the closing prices(right).
A bar chart is most commonly used to identify the contraction and expansion of price ranges.
It is essentially the process of buying and selling currencies in order to make a profit. The price of one currency is linked to the price of another currency in a trade, so you will always work with two currencies at a time. The base currency is the first currency appearing in a currency pair quotation,followed the quote currency. The difference in price between the currencies is where your profit or loss sits.
