FOREX BASICS

EDUCATION – INTRO TO FOREX

Step Into the World's Largest Financial Playground

Welcome to the Forex market — where over $5 trillion changes hands every single day. Bigger than Wall Street and open 24/5, Forex trading is your ticket to a fast-paced, global game once reserved for the big leagues. Now, it's yours to play.

Currency Pairs: Where the Action Happens

Every trade is a face-off between two currencies. The first is the hero (the base), and the second is the challenger (the quote).
When someone says "EUR/USD is climbing," that's the Euro flexing on the Dollar.

Meet the Players:

Majors

The global powerhouses (EUR/USD, USD/JPY, GBP/USD)

Crosses

Ditch the dollar, mix other majors (EUR/GBP, AUD/JPY)

Exotics

High risk, high reward—emerging market matchups (USD/ZAR, EUR/TRY)

Bid, Ask & Spread: Know Your Numbers

Bid

What buyers are willing to pay (you sell here)

Ask

What sellers are asking (you buy here)

Spread

The small difference = broker's cut. Think of the spread as the price of admission to the trading arena.

Lot Sizes: Choose Your Weapon

Lot sizes determine the scale of your trades, whether you're going big or testing the waters:

Lots No. of Units
Standard 100,000
Mini 10,000
Micro 1,000
Nano 100

Leverage & Margin: Power Boost or Double-Edged Sword?

Margin

Your entry fee to open a trade

Leverage

Amplify your buying power (but play it smart—more risk, more reward)

Rollover (Swap): Earn While You Sleep… or Not

Hold trades overnight? Depending on interest rate differences between the currencies, you could earn a little extra—or pay a small fee. Either way, it's a factor worth watching.
