Welcome to volume 2 of our Trading Terminology for Beginners blog series, where we unpack what “going long” and “going short” really mean — with a side of humour and a dash of trading confidence. We explain how traders profit in both rising and falling markets, how currency pairs work, and why understanding these core concepts is essential if you want to trade with clarity instead of confusion.

Ever seen a trading floor and thought it looked like chaos? You're not alone. This blog unpacks the madness, translating trading jargon into plain English for beginners. Learn the real story behind bulls, bears, and why trading isn’t just for the elite. Real traders, no fluff, no nonsense.
