Similar to buying and selling goods in a traditional market
at a profit, in Forex trading, we purchase a currency at a
lower price and wait for the value to increase before
selling it for a higher price. For example, if you buy
100,000 (1 lot) EUR/USD at 1.13810 and the price rises to
1.13910, it has moved up 10 pips, resulting in a gain of
$100.
