What is Forex?

🌍 What is Forex?

Forex (Foreign Exchange) is where currencies are bought and sold. It’s a decentralized market operating 24 hours a day, 5 days a week.

You always trade one currency vs another (a pair).

EUR / USD Base Quote

If EUR/USD = 1.1000, one Euro costs 1.10 USD.

Why it matters

  • Global commerce depends on currency exchange
  • Huge liquidity (many buyers/sellers)
  • Tight spreads and flexible hours

🧠 Think of Forex as a massive, always-on currency marketplace.
