We believe in empowering traders by enlightening them about different terminologies and situations in the currency pairs market. Every trade order is governed by basic currency pairs specifications that include contract details along with the conditions for a successful trade. This includes:
Pip value signifies the value of fourth decimal in currency pair exchange rate (except JPY and HUF currency pair for which pip value is equal to the value of second decimal).
The currency pairs generally traded in the currency pairs market are known as majors. They are often quoted against the value of USD that serves as the base currency. Majors are known for great liquidity, tight spread making them ideal for short, medium and long-term trading. Majors occupy a dominating position in the currency pairs market with a volume exceeding two-thirds of the total volume in currency pairs.
Minors are known as secondary currency pairs and are not frequently traded. They have less liquidity but are traded heavily in the global financial markets. A striking feature of minors is the ‘cross’- a phenomenon that involves majorly traded currencies against each other without dollar as the base currency.
Exotics are rare currency pairs that are not generally traded in the market. They emerge from developing countries or market and signify a positive trading opportunity. Wide spreads in exotics make intraday traders repulsive to exotics.
