For example, suppose the GBP/USD chart rate is 1.3112.
When buying, a quote shows how many units of quoted currency are needed to buy one unit of the base currency. So, in this case, you need to have $ 1.31 to buy 1 Pound sterling.
When selling, it is indicated how many units of quoted currency you get for selling one unit of the base currency. In the above example, you get $ 1.25 when you make a sale, you sell 1 GBP to USD. How can Forex traders use it?
