The Forex is a unique market. But there are those who don’t realize it’s a simple market to understand. The educational programs come in handy for learning to trade and finding the secrets to making pips.

The lingo for instance, is as easy as ABC. With time, everyone begins to speak in currency exchange “language” and those who apply themselves sooner or later begin to comprehend the many interesting articles that address Forex trading.

So let’s look at some of the most common terms that traders learn immediately upon starting out in the global Forex.

Everyone learns what pips are right away! They’re the smallest increment of a currency’s price value. The currencies go up or down by those increments; this is how traders make money. So if for example the EUR/USD is $1.4290 and goes up to $1.4300, the person who placed a trade in the right direction makes 10 pips.

Now, we have to talk about lots. They indicate the amounts of currency traded. They come in the form of standard, mini, and micro. To keep it simple, we’ll use the standard and mini lots as examples. The trader who opens a position with a standard lot controls $100,000 of currency; and the one who trades with a mini lot holds $10,000. So in the example above, the trader would make more money with the standard lot than with the mini lot. If the trade goes against him/her, the loss is greater with the standard lot.
