How Currency Pairs Work – A Beginner’s Guide by Rabab Markets
When entering the world of Forex trading, one of the first concepts every trader must understand is currency pairs. At Rabab Markets, we believe that a solid foundation leads to confident trading. So let’s break it down.
What Are Currency Pairs?
In Forex trading, currencies are always traded in pairs. This means you’re buying one currency while simultaneously selling another. A currency pair shows how much of the quote currency (second currency) is needed to buy one unit of the base currency (first currency).
For example, in the pair EUR/USD:
- EUR is the base currency
- USD is the quote currency
- If the EUR/USD is 1.1000, it means 1 Euro = 1.10 US Dollars
Major, Minor & Exotic Pairs
At Rabab Markets, we offer access to all major types of currency pairs:
- Major Pairs: The most traded pairs globally, like EUR/USD, GBP/USD, and USD/JPY
- Minor Pairs: Pairs that don’t include USD but involve major currencies (e.g., EUR/GBP, AUD/NZD)
- Exotic Pairs: Combinations of a major currency with a currency from a developing economy (e.g., USD/TRY)
Why Understanding Pairs Matters
