    • Forex trading occurs across four major sessions: Sydney, Tokyo, London, and New York
    • London and New York sessions are the most active due to high trading volume
    • Currency pairs are a combination of two currencies, e.g., GBP/USD, representing the value of one currency relative to another

    Types of Symbols

    • Various symbols exist within the forex market for trading, such as forex/currency pairs, commodities, indices, and cryptocurrencies
    • Forex currency pairs are pairings of currencies, with one currency's value relative to another (e.g., GBP/USD)

    Major Forex/Currency Pairs

    • Major currency pairs include the US dollar and are frequently traded; examples include EUR/USD, USD/JPY, GBP/USD, USD/CAD, USD/CHF, AUD/USD, and NZD/USD
    • There are seven major forex pairs.

    Currency Crosses/Minor Pairs

    • Currency crosses are pairs that do not involve the US dollar, traded more frequently than other pairs
    • Examples include EUR/GBP, EUR/CAD, GBP/JPY, EUR/CHF, EUR/JPY, etc.
