Something else though…just to make sure I have this right….

Let's say you’re looking at at chart for EUR/USD:

If you buy the USD….and you’re watching the chart…you want the trend line or the direction of the line/bars to go downward-not upwards??
If you are trading EUR/USD pair you cannot buy USD. You are always buying or long the base currency ---you want the bars/candles to go up.

Same thing when you sell. You are selling or shorting the base currency --and you want the bars/candles to go downward. Think base currency.
