What are currency pairs?

You have to understand that a currency doesn’t have value in itself. It has value compared to another currency. Often when you hear the value of a currency, it’s the value compared to the US dollar. This is where you need to understand that you look at currencies in pairs. Since there are a lot of different currencies, there are a lot of different combinations. You could be looking at one currency with respect to the US dollar that doesn’t look like a good trade, but if the currency is compared against the Canadian dollar it looks like a good trade.

What is the most important characteristic of a trader?

Confidence. This is a big thing because when you first start out, you’re not confident. It’s like you can tell yourself to be just that. You only become confident through experiencing good outcomes. The best thing you can do is act confident. All this means is that you’re confident in your trading decisions. If you decide to buy a certain currency, you’re going to hang onto it, within reason. If it moves down a little bit, you’re not going to go overboard thinking you need to get rid of it. You’re going to accept your decision. Within reason means, you’re not going to let your money disappear.
