Forex & Gold Trading Glossary

Short, plain-English definitions of the terms you meet in gold and forex trading — from pip, lot and spread to liquidity sweeps, order blocks and consistency rules. Each term links to the lessons where it is used in context.

Definitions are deliberately short — one or two sentences — with the trading context that makes the term usable. Where a term has different meanings in retail and institutional language (liquidity, order block, imbalance), both are noted so broker documents and course material stay readable.

  • Pip, point, lot, spread, swap and margin explained for XAUUSD and FX.
