Currency Pairs
We provide access to a comprehensive range of currency pairs, categorized into three main groups to suit different trading strategies and risk profiles. Each category offers unique characteristics in terms of liquidity, volatility, and spread costs.
Major Pairs
Major currency pairs account for approximately 75% of all forex trades. These pairs always include the US Dollar and offer the tightest spreads and deepest liquidity. Our platform offers:
- EUR/USD – The most traded pair globally, representing the world's two largest economies
- GBP/USD – Known as "Cable," offers significant volatility during London sessions
- USD/JPY – Popular with Asian traders, influenced by Bank of Japan policy
- USD/CHF – The "Swissie," often considered a safe-haven pair
- AUD/USD – Commodity-linked currency, sensitive to China economic data
- USD/CAD – Heavily influenced by oil prices and US-Canada trade
