The foreign exchange (forex) market is the largest and most liquid financial market in the world. According to data from the Bank for International Settlements (BIS), global forex trading volumes reached $6.6 trillion per day in April 2019—and that figure has only continued to grow.

Forex trading involves the exchange of currency pairs, which are typically categorized as major, minor, or exotic pairs. While major pairs feature the most traded currencies such as EUR/USD or USD/JPY, exotic pairs combine a major currency with a less frequently traded or emerging-market currency. Examples include USD/TRY, USD/MXN, or EUR/HUF.
