Currency pairs

In Forex market, all currencies are traded in pairs which named by two abbreviation of currencies.

*Example:
AUDUSD represents Aussie dollar against US dollar. The “”Base”” currency is the first currency in the pair. The “”Quote”” currency, or “”counter”” currency is the second currency in the pair. “AUDUSD is currently trading at 1.0200” means 1 AUD ( Base currency) is equal to 1.0200 USD (Quote currency)”

Pip/ Tick

The minimum rate fluctuation is called a point, a pip or a tick.

For currency pairs quoted with 4 decimal points, say AUDUSD, the minimum rate fluctuation is 0.0001

For currency pairs quoted with 2 decimal points, say USDJPY, the minimum rate fluctuation is 0.01
Please be aware that price offegrey by Hantec includes fractional pips. Accordingly, you may see there is an additional decimal place (d.p.) after the smallest floating pip, i.e. the 5th d.p. of AUDUSD and the 3rd d.p. of USDJPY

Bid Price & Ask Price

On your trading platform, you will find the quoted currency pairs are shown as follow:

Currency Pair	Bid	Ask
AUDUSD	1.0200	1.0201

Bid Price: This price is used for you to SHORT/SELL the currency pair. In this case, you can short 1 AUD for 1.0200 USD.
Ask Price: This price is used for you to LONG/BUY the currency pair. In this case, you can long 1 AUD for 1.0201 USD.

Examples of Forex Trading

Foreign exchange trading means to buy one currency and sell another at the same time, and that’s explain why we always see a pair of currency for quotation while doing such trades.
Trading unit: 1 lot = 100,000 base currency
Trading direction:long
Leverage: 100 times

Open a Position:
EUR/USD:
1.1267/1.1268

Non-margin trading (1 lot):
100,000 x 1.1268 = US$112,680

Margin trading (1 lot):
112,680 ÷ 100 = US$1,126.8

Liquidation:
Ask price:
1.1277/1.1278
