“Forex” stands for foreign exchange; it’s also known as FX. In a forex trade, you buy one currency while simultaneously selling another – that is, you’re exchanging the sold currency for the one you’re buying. The foreign exchange market is an over-the-counter market.
Currencies trade in pairs, like the Euro-US Dollar (EUR/USD) or US Dollar / Japanese Yen (USD/JPY). Unlike stocks or futures, there’s no centralized exchange for forex. All transactions happen via phone or electronic network.
