What is traded?
Easy answer currency.
Because we are not actually buying anything. So this type of trading can seem a
bit confusing.
When we buy a currency
we are buying some shares of a country, like buying shares of an entity. The
value of the currency is a reflection of the current and future economic
situation of that country.
When we buy the Japanese
yen, we basically buy a share in the Japanese economy. We think the Japanese
economy is improving and will continue to improve in the future. When we sell
those shares, hopefully we will make a profit.
In general, the exchange
rate of one currency with another is a reflection of the economy of another
country compared to the economy of that country.
The currency symbol
consists of three letters, where the first two indicate the name of the country
and the third indicates the name of the currency of that country.
For example, in the case
of NZD, NZ stands for New Zealand, and D stands for Dollar. Easy, isn't it?
The above currencies are
the main reason they are the most traded.
Buck is the nickname of
USD.
USD is also called
greenbacks, bones, benjis, benjamins, cheddar, paper, loot, scrilla, cheese,
bread, moolah, dead presidents, coco and cash money.
