The forex market’s most actively traded currency pairs all include the U.S. Dollar, and those pairs tend to be where the greatest liquidity exists in the forex market. Nevertheless, many other currency pairs which do not involve the U.S. Dollar offer ample trading opportunities. These are usually referred to as the cross currency pairs or just the crosses, and their quotes are called cross rates. The most actively traded crosses or cross currency pairs in the forex market are further divided into the Major Crosses and the Minor Crosses.
