top 10 traded currencies
Top 10 historic forex trading percentages between currencies

Foreign currencies are traded in pairs. The pair is expressed as two three letter codes put together. Each three letter code represents one currency type, thus the pair together shows the total exchange, and is frequently displayed along with current exchange rate; this is referred to as a quote. In a quote, the first currency is known as the base currency, while the second is called the counter currency.

For instance, EURUSD 1.37559 represents the exchange rate for 1 Euro to US Dollars. In this case, 1 Euro is trading for 1.37559 US Dollars, showing the Euro as the stronger currency.
