CURRENCIES ARE TRADED IN PAIRS
 Forex trading is the simultaneous buying of one currency and selling
another. Currencies are traded through a broker or dealer, and are
traded in pairs
 For example, the euro and the U.S. dollar (EUR/USD) or the British
pound and the Japanese yen (GBP/JPY).
 When you trade in the Forex market, you buy or sell in currency pairs.
 Imagine each pair constantly in a "tug of war" with each currency on
its own side of the rope. Exchange rates fluctuate based on which
currency is stronger at the moment.
