🌍 What is Forex (Very Simple)
The Foreign Exchange Market (Forex) is a place where people buy and sell currencies.
👉 Example:
- You buy USD (Dollar)
- You sell INR (Rupee)
Just like you buy something cheap and sell it expensive — same idea here.
💡 Real-Life Example
Imagine:
- Today: 1 USD = ₹80
- Tomorrow: 1 USD = ₹82
👉 If you bought at ₹80 and sold at ₹82
➡️ You make profit 💰
That’s Forex trading.
🔄 How Trading Works
Currencies always trade in pairs:
- EUR/USD (Euro vs Dollar)
- USD/JPY (Dollar vs Yen)
- GBP/USD (Pound vs Dollar)
👉 When you trade, you are:
- Buying one currency
- Selling another at the same time
