Step by step: trading USD pairs on Tattvam
- USD forex is traded in pairs — EUR/USD, GBP/USD, USD/JPY and USD/INR-style crosses — where the exchange rate between two currencies is the price.
- On Tattvam these pairs are traded as CFDs on MetaTrader 5, so a position can go long (buy) or short (sell) the US dollar.
- The Tattvam base currency is USD; a position size is set in lots (1 standard lot = 100,000 units), with 0.01-lot micro sizing available.
- Spreads on major USD pairs start from about 1.3 pips on the Standard account and from 0.3 pips on the Pro account, with $0 commission advertised.
- Leverage of up to 1:500 magnifies both gains and losses, so a stop-loss and modest position size help control risk on USD volatility.
- Practising USD pairs on a demo account first lets an Indian trader test a plan before risking real money. Trading forex and CFDs carries a high level of risk and most retail investor accounts lose money — only trade with capital you can afford to lose.
