This article presents a full list of Forex Currency Pairs according to Major Pairs, Exotic Pairs, Precious Metals, and Correlated Pairs.
Forex Currency Pairs are the integral instruments being traded in Forex. They are also called securities. In Forex unlike Stocks and Commodities, the security or trading instruments are paired in a BUY/SELL or SELL/BUY pattern. For example the Forex currency pair EURUSD technically would mean buy the Euro and Sell the Dollar or Sell the EUR and Buy the Dollar. Profits are made when the EUR for example is bought at 1.4500 dollars and later sold at 2.4950 dollars (i.e. Buy EURUSD at $1.4500 and later Sell when EUR is $2.4950) This is where the slogan "Buy LOW and Sell HIGH" comes in.A lot of traders often do not know the Forex Currency Pairs involved in Forex. Most traders would have been more successful if only they had diversified their strategies to include other currency pairs. This is the reason why we are presenting an entire list of Forex Currency Pairs categorized according to Major Pairs, Exotic Pairs, Precious Metals, and Correlated Pairs.

4. Forex Currency Correlated Pairs
Correlated pairs are currency pairs that have similar price patterns, movement, reactions, and price action. Therefore it is not wise to trade some of these pairs at the same time because it could multiply your risk if the market goes against you. Also it would be disastrous to trade some of these pairs at the same time because they move against themselves. For example if there is a SELL signal on the EURUSD, then it is 95% likely that the same signal would appear on the GBPUSD but not likely with the same intensity.
