FX Currency Pairs - TOML

FX currency pairs represent combinations of two currencies traded in the foreign exchange market. They are classified into three types: dollar straight (pairs including US dollar), cross yen (combinations of non-USD currencies with Japanese yen), and cross currency (pairs excluding both USD and JPY). Major currency pairs include USD/JPY, EUR/USD, GBP/USD, each with distinct characteristics and trading features.
