What is FX Trading?

When trading Forex, you are buying one currency by using another. Therefore, the FX trader is trading currency pairs and not each currency individually. Take for example the EURUSD, when buying the pair – it means you are buying EUR using (selling) USD. When selling the pair – it means you are buying USD using (selling) EUR.
