FOREX means foreign exchange and it is all about buying and selling currencies simultaneously. That being said lets consider a quote example:
|
EUR/USD |
|
|
Bid |
Ask |
|
1.3276 |
1.3281 |
|
Sell |
Buy |
You an easily outline the following main things:
- Base currency= EUR
- Bid price = 1.3276
- Ask price = 1.3281
- When selling Euros, 1 Euro = 1.3276 US Dollar
- When buying Euros, 1.3281 US Dollar = 1 Euro
- Spread = 1.3281-1.3276 = 0.0005
- Pip=0.0001
Let's look at another example and try to outline the main things yourself. No peeking!!!
|
EUR/JPY |
|
|
Bid |
Ask |
|
125.96 |
126.00 |
|
Sell |
Buy |
- Base currency= EUR
- Bid price = 125.96
- Ask price = 126.00
- When selling Euros, 1 Euro = 125.96 Japanese Yen
- When buying Euros, 126.00 Japanese Yen = 1 Euro
- Spread = 126.00 -125.96 = 0.04
- Pip=0.01
