  • The second currency in the pair is known as the 'quote currency'
Example 1

EURUSD

  • If you were to trade EURUSD and you bought, you're buying Euros and selling US Dollars.
  • If you bought 1 CFD lot of EURUSD at a price of 1.1800, you would be buying 100,000 Euros and selling 118,000 US Dollars.
