How to read a Forex pair
Section titled “How to read a Forex pair”A Forex pair contains two currencies.
For EUR / USD:
- EUR is the base currency.
- USD is the quote currency.
- The price indicates how many U.S. dollars equal one euro.
If EUR/USD rises, the euro is generally strengthening relative to the U.S. dollar, or the U.S. dollar is weakening relative to the euro. If the price falls, the opposite may be happening.
For USD / JPY:
- USD is the base currency.
- JPY is the quote currency.
- The price indicates how many Japanese yen equal one U.S. dollar.
Understanding the direction of the pair helps you read the chart and select the intended Bullish or Bearish direction more accurately.
How to read a Forex market card
Section titled “How to read a Forex market card”Each card normally includes the following information.
Pair name and description
Section titled “Pair name and description”The pair name identifies the currencies being compared. Check the pair carefully before selecting Invest, because many Forex pairs have similar symbols.
Examples:
- USD / CAD
- USD / CHF
- USD / CNH
- USD / HKD
- USD / JPY
- USD / SGD
Pairs that begin with USD can react differently to the same U.S.-dollar news. Do not assume they will move in the same way simply because USD is the base currency.
Profit Rate
Section titled “Profit Rate”The Profit Rate is the rate used to calculate the result when the investment is profitable.
Different Forex pairs may have different Profit Rates. For example, one pair may display 81% while another displays 91%. Review this value before opening the direct-investment screen.
Your rate
Section titled “Your rate”Your rate is the Profit Rate currently applied to your account.
A higher account level may provide a higher rate on some pairs. If Your rate is lower than Max, review the account-level page to see the balance required for the Next Level.
Max is the highest Profit Rate currently available for the pair.
This lets you see whether your account is already receiving the best available rate for that pair.
Price and recent movement
Section titled “Price and recent movement”The current price and small chart help you quickly review how the pair has moved recently.
Use this area to:
- Check whether the pair is moving up or down.
- Assess whether recent movement is strong or limited.
- Identify pairs worth opening on the detailed price chart.
- Avoid choosing a pair with very limited movement when your approach requires a clearer direction.
