Frequently asked questions
What are Forex CFDs?
Forex CFDs (Contracts for Difference) allow you to speculate on the price movements of currency pairs without owning the underlying assets. This means you can profit from both rising and falling markets by taking long or short positions on major, minor, and exotic currency pairs.
What are Major, Minor, and Exotic currency pairs?
In Forex trading, currency pairs are categorized into Major, Minor, and Exotic pairs, each offering different liquidity and volatility levels.
- Major pairs are the most traded currency pairs globally and always include the USD.
Examples: EUR/USD, USD/JPY, GBP/USD. These pairs have high liquidity, tight spreads, and lower volatility. - Minor pairs, also known as crosses, do not include the USD but involve major global currencies.
Examples: EUR/GBP, GBP/JPY, AUD/CAD. These pairs have moderate liquidity and slightly wider spreads than majors. - Exotic pairs consist of one major currency and one from an emerging or smaller economy.
Examples: USD/SGD, EUR/TRY, GBP/ZAR. These pairs have lower liquidity, higher volatility, and wider spreads,
making them riskier but potentially more profitable.
