5. Buy/sell

As a trader, you first decide whether you want to buy or sell. For example, if you want to place a short order - an order which allows you to profit from a falling exchange rate – all you have to do is click on the sell price for a currency pair. If, on the other hand, you want to place a buy order you simply click on the buy price and you will earn money as long as the price goes up.

An example of how buying and selling works:

Just as with any other financial market, individual currency pairs always have two prices: the buy price and the sell price (ask and bid).
The difference between the two is called the spread, which represents the cost of the trade.
In this example a trader can sell the currency pair at the price of 1.36211 and buy it at a price of 1.36228.
