Currency Pair
Definition
A currency pair represents the exchange rate between two currencies. The first currency is the base currency, and the second is the quote currency. The price shows how much of the quote currency is needed to buy one unit of the base currency.
Example
In EUR/USD = 1.1050, EUR is the base currency and USD is the quote currency. It means 1 Euro equals 1.1050 US Dollars.
