Currency trading is the exchange of foreign currencies. The base currency is always on the left of a currency pair, and the quote is always on the right. The base currency is always equal to one, and the quote currency is equal to the current quote price of the pair. So, when you trade currency, you always sell one to buy another. Currencies are traded in lots, which are batches of currency used to standardize forex trades.
