MT4 Order Question

So here is my question, on the imagine below, Red one is EUR and blue one is USD, If I press sell, i sell EUR to Buy USD, If i press Buy, i sell USD to Buy EUR right ?


yes exactly

If I press sell, i sell EUR to Buy USD, If i press Buy, i sell USD to Buy EUR right ?

You are correct in this.

However when you mention:

Red one is EUR and blue one is USD
If I’m not mistaken, both prices are in the [B]counter currency[/B] (USD) as the [B]base currency[/B] (EUR) is always equivalent to 1.

So when buying you pay the price in blue of the counter currency for 1 EUR

And when selling you sell 1EUR to get the price in red of the counter currency.
