Unlike many markets, फॉरेक्स lets आप profit from falling prices as easily as rising ones, because आप are always trading one currency against another.
Going लॉन्ग
Goingलॉन्गmeans buying the base currency expecting the pair to rise. If आप खरीदें EUR/USD at 1.0800 and it rises to 1.0850, आप profit on the 50-pip move.
Going शॉर्ट
Goingशॉर्टmeans selling the base currency expecting the pair to fall. Selling EUR/USD at 1.0800 and buying it back at 1.0750 profits on the decline. आप're simultaneously लॉन्ग the quote currency — there is always a 'side' आप're betting on.
The mindset shift
New traders often have a 'खरीदें' bias from स्टॉक्स. In फॉरेक्स, down moves are just as tradeable, and pretending आप can only profit from rallies cuts half your opportunities — and half your risk awareness — away.
Key takeaways
- लॉन्ग = खरीदें the base expecting a rise; शॉर्ट = बेचें expecting a fall.
- Every position is लॉन्ग one currency and शॉर्ट the अन्य.
- फॉरेक्स profits work in both directions — drop the stock-market खरीदें bias.
