How can we BUY/SELL different currencies when we open an account with Dollars?

First of all i beg your pardon, i couldn’t find any other appropriate way to ask this question !

Since i am new in Forex, my approach to get things may be weak.

My question is, how come we buy/sell other minor or major currencies like GBP, AUD, JPY or CAD since our

account we opened with a certain broker was in US dollars ?

Your question is actually pretty common around here. Read Clint’s posts in this thread. The Babypips school got nothing on Clint’s answer I tell ya.

Thanks Bun, i would love to see you on Time’s title page :slight_smile:
