Talk:Currency pair

message: EURUSD and EUR/USD are equivalent but most trading system use EUR/USD. Most trading systems and books use EUR/USD
Please note, that it writes EURUSD. This is how currecny pairs are usually written. I noticed that somebody wanted to change it to EUR/USD. 
:Currency pairs may be written in a variety of formats, for example EUR/USD, EURUSD, EUR.USD, EUR-USD, EUR USD.  The most common format in the FX markets is EUR/USD and I propose that this article be amended to use this format. Nfh 20:21, 18 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: EURUSD is the same as EUR/USD. There is no difference. In the FX market, if you write EUR/USD, it means 1 euro is equal to a variable number of dollars. That is market convention. Nfh 20:21, 18 November 2005 (UTC)

replies: text: Those who are mathematically inclined may see EUR/USD quoted as 1.3067 and think that the dimensions of the number 1.3067 is EUR/USD, when it is actually the reverse. Maybe a note in the article can clarify this. Finnancier 15:18, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: A less confusing way to think about it is EUR/USD = 1.3067, or 1 EUR/USD = 1.3067, and therefore 1 EUR = 1.3067 USD. Finnancier (talk) 15:25, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

text: I also got once confused by this. The confusion results from thinking the "rate" actually denotes the numeric value of EUR/USD in an equation like 1 EUR = 1.3 USD which would be (1/1.3) EUR/USD = 1. But the "rate" here is comparing two different denominations of a common dimension (something like "perceived worth") and therefore represents the dimensionless other side of the equation. So you can express a rate like EUR/USD=1.3 in the same way you can say min/s=60 (although that rate is fixed by definition). I suppose the main unfortunate notation convention resulting in this confusion is that the equal sign is often left out.169.145.136.14 (talk) 21:50, 31 October 2018 (UTC)

text: Think of it as the label of a graph. "Distance /metres" means distance is measured in metres. "Time/seconds" means that time is measured in seconds. "EUR/USD" means that the size of 1 EUR is measured in USD. Count Truthstein (talk) 14:57, 3 January 2012 (UTC)

message: There is already an article called Percentage in point. The discussion of pips should be moved there, or at least better integrated. Finnancier 15:18, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Removed section on pips which had only one quite useless line. Hyperlinked pips in Spread section to the relevant article. Cheers Unstudmaddu (talk) 13:09, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

message: A debate is in progress about what to do with article Currency correlation and one of the proposals is to merge it into either Currency pair, Technical analysis or Exchange rate. We'd appreciate any suggestions of where the best place for it is. To keep the conversation in one place, please respond in Talk:Currency_correlation#Fallout_of_Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion.2FCurrency_correlation.

thread_title: Assessment comment

message: The article suggests an order of base precedence eg EUR always comes first, then GBP always comes first except EURGBP .... However, it lists JPY as the last currency which would have precedence. However, JPY is never used as base, even with minor (exotic) currencies, for example you say TRYJPY and PLNJPY not the other way round. Really JPY should be removed from that list. Instead the correct order (outside the big 5) is that the higher denomination comes first, so that the exchange rate is >1.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.155.193.120 (talk) 13:04, 16 May 2016 (UTC)
