Trading Currency Pairs

Trading Forex or trading of currency pairs is in general the process of purchasing and selling of one currency against another. These pairs are set n a particular order and broken down into three groups – the major currency pairs, the minor currency pairs and the exotic currency pairs. In this article we will concentrate on the major currency pairs as these are the currencies that are most traded on the Forex market today.

First of all let’s name the major currencies that are traded on the Forex market. Today there are 7 major currencies on the Forex trading market and they are Australian dollar (AUD), American dollar (USD), Euro (EUR), British pound (GBP), Canadian dollar (CAD), Swiss franc (CHF) and Japanese yen (JPY).

The major pairs consist of the AUD/USD, the EUR/USD, the GBP/USD, the USD/CAD, the USD/CHF and the USD/JPY. As well there are also some other currency pairs that are considered to be major ones as the GBP/EUR and the EUR/JPY. But the last two currency pairs are not traded so often as the previous six.

While trading you will notice that all these currency pairs are against the dollar so charts tend to move in unity. It is necessary to have your charts set up in the order as above with the EUR/USD, GBP/USD, and AUD/USD being your top three charts and only then USD/CHF, USD/JPY, and USD/CAD directly beneath. Having this initial setup you could see that the top three charts will tend to move in the same direction and the bottom three charts will move in the directly opposite direction almost mirroring each other. The best examples of this arrangement are the USD/CHF and the EUR/USD because they nearly always mirror each other exactly and it is for this reason while trading one of these pairs that we take its mirroring currency pairs into account.

Let’s focus our attention on two of the currency pairs for the beginners to know, the USD/JPY and the GBP/USD. This currency pair is needed to be known by all Forex traders as GBP/USD is the most traded currency pair among all and this pair has to be handled with the extreme caution. It is not uncommon for the GBP/USD pair to be traded in one direction and to then randomly pull a reverse of trend in for 50 pips and then continue in its original direction. While first starting out in the currency trading it is recommended to watch this currency pair closely and get to know its habits before actual trading it. It could be used not only with this particular currency pair, but with all pairs. When you will master this skill in you, you will find that this technique is very profitable one.
