What is forex trading?

Forex trading is the exchange of one currency for another. Traders aim to profit from changes in exchange rates by buying when a currency strengthens and selling when it weakens.

Forex trading works through currency pairs — buying one currency and selling another simultaneously. The market operates 24 hours a day, allowing global traders to respond to price movements in real time.
A forex pair shows two currencies traded against each other, like EUR/USD. The first is the base currency, and the second is the quote, showing how much one base unit costs.
A forex broker provides a trading platform to access global markets. Brokers connect traders with liquidity providers and charge small spreads or commissions on executed trades.
Leverage allows traders to control larger positions with smaller capital. Margin is the deposit required to open those positions — increasing potential profits but also magnifying possible losses.
A pip measures small price changes in a currency pair. The spread is the difference between the buy and sell prices — representing your transaction cost when entering a trade.
