How It Works
Understanding a foreign exchange transaction using EUR/USD
If you think the euro will appreciate against the dollar, you can buy EUR/USD; if you think the euro will weaken against the dollar, you can sell EUR/USD. Profit and loss depend on the opening price, closing price, trading lot size, pip value and transaction cost.
Sample Order

- Buy EUR/USD

The example is only used to explain the concepts of quotation and pips. The actual profit and loss will also be affected by the number of trading lots, pip value, commission, overnight interest and market liquidity.
