Lesson 2 - Pair characteristics (the majors and the crosses)

Understanding Forex Pairs Forex pairs are divided into two broad categories. There are the majors that include the most frequently traded and most liquid currency pairs and the crosses. The majors all include the USD as either the base or quote currency. The cross currency pairs do not include the dollar because they "cross" two other currencies with each other. The Majors The most actively traded currency pairs are the majors. These are all crossed with the USD and make up the majority of annual trading volume in the forex market. For example, according to the Bank for International Settlements the EUR/USD makes 27% of all forex trading alone. If you combined the trading volume of the EUR/USD with the GBP/USD and the USD/JPY you would have captured 52% of annual trading volume. Most traders start their forex career by becoming familiar with the most popular majors before beginning to trade the crosses or smaller major pairs.

15. I feel like this is my responsibility to let people know about an app like (https://twitter.com/andrewmurphee/status/812617476584382464) that has gained popularity in a very short span and is growing very rapidly with the passage of time. It is because of the reason that it will provide you exactly what you want and there will ever be a instance when you feel that it isn’t working the way it was supposed to work because it impeccably made.

17. I am going to share the story of a trader, who lost a huge amount of money in binary options trading. He was disappointed and very much frustrated. He even decided to leave trading. One of his friends suggested him to use another signal service for testing his luck like last one in binary options trading. And that last trip changed everything in a blink!! That signal not only gave him a huge profit, but he also recovered his previous losses in a very short period of time. Could you believe? That trader was me! And here is that awesome signal service===>>(Details Here >>> https://t.co/en6WYiVZWq ) .
