This page is part of our trading glossary education. The most useful place to land is the full trading glossary guide below, where the plain-English, risk-first learning lives. Everything here is educational and is not financial advice.

You followed a link to an older Pro Trader Network page. The site has been rebuilt around clear, honest trading education. Everything useful that lived here now sits inside the guides linked below, with no hype and no signals.

What the trading glossary guide covers

This glossary defines the forex and trading terms beginners run into most: pip, lot, spread, leverage, margin, stop-loss, support and resistance, and more. Each definition is written in plain language so you can read a guide or a broker page without getting lost. Knowing the vocabulary will not make you profitable, but not knowing it will cost you.

Pro Trader Network is reader-supported and editorially independent. Some links on this site are affiliate links, which means we may earn a commission when you open an account or buy a product through them, at no extra cost to you. Compensation never decides what we cover or recommend; our guides are written first, and partner links are added only where they fit. This site is educational and is not financial advice. Trading foreign exchange and other leveraged products carries a substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for every investor.
