Currency pairs in Forex trading involve two currencies being traded against each other where one is bought and the other is sold.
Currency pairs are categorized into Major Pairs, Minor Pairs (Crosses), and Exotic Pairs based on liquidity, spread, and volatility.
Major Pairs, comprising the most traded pairs, are beginner-friendly and include currencies from the top economies paired with the U.S. Dollar.
While Minor Pairs exclude the U.S. Dollar, Exotic Pairs combine major currencies with those from emerging economies, offering higher volatility and potential profits but greater risk.
