If you're new at something, you should first study what it is about so you can gain a stable footing. You should start prepping yourself for learning as much as you can as you continue the pursuit. In deciding to get involved with foreign exchange trading, the first step is to know all basic concepts by heart.
One major thing is the definition of foreign exchange trading and what its other aliases are like forex, FX, or currency trading. In a nutshell, forex is about trading one currency with another. One buys and sells the currencies for profit. But what does one have to understand about currencies?
In forex, trading is done via currency pairs. This means that there are two currencies that are constantly involved in the currency trading. To demonstrate this, you can decide to buy Euros with your US Dollars. To do this, you should be looking at the rates for the EUR/USD as reference.
Now that the subject has been introduced, you should also know about base currency. This is the currency that comes first in a currency pair. In EUR/USD, the base currency is EUR or Euros. In USD/JPY, the base currency is USD or US Dollar.
