5. What Are Currency Pairs in Forex?​

In Forex, currencies are traded in pairs (e.g., EUR/USD). The first currency in the pair is the base currency, and the second is the quote currency. The price reflects how much of the quote currency is needed to buy one unit of the base currency.

6. What is Leverage in Forex?​

Leverage allows you to control a large position with a smaller amount of capital. For example, with 100:1 leverage, you can control $100,000 in the market with just $1,000 of your own money. While leverage amplifies potential profits, it also increases the risk of loss.

7. What Are Pips and Spread?​

• Pip: A pip is the smallest price movement in a currency pair. For most pairs, it’s equal to 0.0001.
• Spread: The spread is the difference between the buy and sell prices of a currency pair. It is the broker's fee for facilitating the trade.
