networks.
Banks, private businesses, investment agencies, investors and retail traders, all

How does Forex Trading work?
In the Forex Market currencies are always traded as pairs such as GBP/USD or USD/JPY.
EUR/USD is considered to be the currency pair which is the traded the most around the world.
The
reason they are quoted in pairs is that, in all forex transactions one currency is simultaneously bought
while another is sold.
The first currency of a forex pair is called the 'base' currency, whereas
the second currency is referred to as the 'quote' currency. Join us at TSC, where we provide you the
