The Forex Language - Separated By Terminology

If it is not enough that God came down from the heavens to see the Tower of Babel

, and then separate each soul by a foreign language so that they could not talk to one another but now here lies a terminology, a language, to be used amongst the masses of foreign exchange so that they can understand one another leaving non-Forex citizens out of the loop.

As I set out to learn the language of the Forex player's world all I heard at first was babble. It all seemed to make perfect sense to the foreign exchange inhabitants. It is a language of shortened phrases, acronyms, and idioms that explain what is needed during the speeches of exchanges and trades. It is a language known best by traders. One that must be known and understood by any new or experience Forex civilian.

To not be prepped and educated in the use of this speech, to communicate with fellow speakers, will leave you out in the cold. A career of a Forex trader can be laid to rest if there is confusion of the terminology or an unawareness of the sayings they use. That is for now.

The leading financial market of the world is the Forex market which trades all global currencies in real time. A basic understanding of the language is a must to succeed at all in the Forex market.

Terminology in the basics

The basic terminology of the Forex globe must be known to get by in the utmost way.

Bullish, if you are bullish you have a general tendency to trade on the long side of a currency pair and believe that pair will increase in price.

Bearish is having a general tendency to trade on the short side of a currency pair and believing that pair will decrease in price.

Buying a currency pair with the hope that the price will go up is referred to as Going Long.

4) Going short- selling a currency that is not yet owned by the trader, with the hope that the price will decrease and the currency can be put back at a lower price than that at selling.

The smallest price change that a currency can make is called a Pip. In full sized lots of $100,000 it generally is equal to $10 US.

6) Range- the offering of information to the seller on the variety of prices offered; also gives the highest and lowest prices of the currencies.

A full range of definitions for the Forex language is offered on tons of websites and dictionaries. It is crucial to be prepped on the terminology needed for conversation if you are interested in a Forex trading career. Otherwise you will find yourself a lost soul roaming around, incapable of speaking to any fellow Forex inhabitants. Of course you don't want that.
