FOREX BASIC TERMINOLOGY

In order to become a successful trader, it is vital to understand the basic Forex terminology, which at times may be misleading.
Day Trading
Refers to positions which are opened and closed on the same trading day.
Dealer
An individual who acts as a principal or counterpart to a transaction. Principals take one side of a position, hoping to earn a spread (profit) by closing out the position in a subsequent trade with another party. In contrast, a broker is an individual or firm that acts as an intermediary, putting together buyers and sellers for a fee or commission.
Deficit
A negative balance of trade or payments.
Delivery
An FX trade where both sides make and take actual delivery of the currencies traded.
Depreciation
A fall in the value of a currency due to market forces.
Derivative
A contract that changes in value in relation to the price movements of a related or underlying security, future or other physical instrument. An Option is the most common derivative instrument.
Devaluation
The deliberate downward adjustment of a currency's price, normally by official announcement.
