In the Forex Market, one currency is exchanged for another.
This is the reason why Forex is quoted in currency pairs.
The eight most commonly traded currencies are: USD (U.S. dollar), EUR (euro), GBP (Great British Pound), AUD (Australian dollar), JPY (Japanese Yen), CHF (Swiss franc), CAD (Canadian dollar), NZD (New Zealand dollar).

These eight currencies form seven major currency pairs which account for over 85% of the daily traded volume in the market:

Aside from these major pairs, there are the so-called exotic currencies.
They are characterized by relatively low trading volumes, high volatility and high spreads.
Trading such pairs carry higher degrees of risk and comparably higher possible profits.
The list of exotic currencies includes CZK (Czech Koruna), MXN (Mexican Peso), PLN (Polish Zloty), TRY (Turkish Lira), RUB (Russian Ruble) and others.
