Forex Trading Glossary

An A-Z reference of forex and gold trading terminology. Use it while you read signals, course lessons or broker documents — every definition is written to be understood without prior jargon.

Use the glossary alongside signals, broker specifications and course lessons. Gold traders in particular meet terms that behave differently on XAUUSD than on FX majors — contract size, pip value and swap are the three that cause most sizing mistakes.

Key points

  • A-Z coverage of forex and gold trading terminology.
  • XAUUSD-specific notes on contract size, pip value and swaps.
  • Plain English, no prior jargon assumed.
