Currencies
At Trader’s Way, Prime Online Forex and CFD broker, we provide our clients with endless trading opportunities including state of the art trading tools and applications. We encourage clients, especially those new to forex trading, to review all our resources on the market in order to familiarize with all aspects of the market. As part of our ongoing series on the forex market, here’s a brief recap on currencies. Currencies differ from other assets because they are traded in pairs. When it comes to currency trading, a trader purchases one currency while selling the other. In short, the trader is trading in two currencies or a currency pair, at the same time. Currency pairs are denoted by three letters according to the International standard for currency codes (ISO 4217) where the first two letters stand for the country code with the third letter, representing the currency.
Example: A client goes long on EURUSD, essentially he purchases the EUR while selling the USD.
Example: USD = US dollar, where "US" = the United States and "D" = dollar.
