What is Forex?

Forex (Foreign Exchange) is the buying and selling of currencies.

For example:

  • EUR/USD
  • GBP/USD
  • USD/JPY

You make money by predicting whether a currency will go up or down.

"Buy low, sell high — that is the basic idea of trading."

How Forex Works

Forex is traded in pairs.

Example:

EUR/USD = 1.1000

This means 1 Euro = 1.10 USD.

If you believe the price will go up → you BUY

If you believe the price will go down → you SELL

Profit comes from price movement.
