What is forex trading?

The biggest market in the world

What is forex trading? In one minute.

Forex = currencies

  • You buy one currency and sell another
  • EUR/USD up = euro stronger than dollar
  • Over 7 trillion dollars traded every day

Forex means foreign exchange. You buy one currency and sell another, like euro against dollar. Over seven trillion dollars change hands every day.

Gold trades the same way

  • XAU/USD = gold priced in dollars
  • Price up: buyers win · price down: sellers win
  • You can profit both ways: buy or sell

Gold works the same way: XAU USD is gold in dollars. You can buy if you think it rises, or sell if you think it falls.
