Understanding Forex Quotes
Reading a foreign exchange quote is simple if you remember two things:The first currency listed is the base currencyThe value of the base currency is always 1.As the centerpiece of the forex market, the US dollar is usually considered the base currency for quotes. When the base currency is USD, think of the quote as telling you what a US dollar is worth in that other currency. When USD is the base currency and the quote goes up, that means USD has strengthened in value and the other currency has weakened. Rising quotes mean a US dollar can now buy more of the other currency than before.
Forex API / Automated Trading
For traders interested in utilizing an automated trading system or developing their own black box strategy, FOREX.com supports fully automated trade execution via a proprietary API.
The API provides users with the ability to receive a real-time rate feed, submit trade requests, set and modify stop-loss and take-profit orders, and receive automated confirmations of trade activity.
