The Forex Language - Separated By Terminology

By Tom K Kearns

God scattered the people and separated them by foreign language when he discovered the Tower of Babel. Now Forex citizens are being separated from the rest of us by terminology. It is a language that can easily be understood amongst the masses of Forex traders, while the rest of us are left speechless.

I frolicked in to learn the terminology of the Forex player's world of language and indeed it looked like babble. But for the foreign exchange inhabitants it all makes perfect sense. With shortened phrases, acronyms, and idioms to explain what they need and want during the speeches of exchanges and trades, it is only a language which the traders know best. And it is imperative for any new or experienced Forex civilian to know and be comfortable with the language.

You will be left in the dust not being educated and fully prepped in this speech used to converse with fellow speakers. The journey into a career of a Forex trader can be forgotten if confused by the terminology or not aware of the sayings they use. For now at least.

Forex is the leading financial market of the world and trades all global currencies in real time. To shine in any way in the Forex market the basic language is a must.

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.

2) Bearish- having a general tendency to trade on the short side of a currency pair and having the belief that pair will decrease in price.

3) Going long- the reference to buying a currency pair with the hope that the price will go up.

Selling a currency that is not yet owned with the intent that there will be a decrease in price so that the currency pair can be put back at a lower price than it was sold for is called, Going Short.

Pip, as funny as it may sound, is popular as well. A pip is simply the smallest price change that a currency pair can make. It generally is equal to 10USD on full size lots of 100,000.

Range is also used, it defines itself my offering the seller information on the variety of prices being offered. The range 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. - 23204
