To-do list for Currency pair: edit · history · watch · refresh

Here are some tasks you can do:

[edit] Format of quoting currencies

Please note, that it writes EURUSD. This is how currecny pairs are usually written. I noticed that somebody wanted to change it to EUR/USD.

Currency pairs may be written in a variety of formats, for example EUR/USD, EURUSD, EUR.USD, EUR-USD, EUR USD. The most common format in the FX markets is EUR/USD and I propose that this article be amended to use this format. Nfh 20:21, 18 November 2005 (UTC)

Please be careful with that. EURUSD is rather equal to USD/EUR (not EUR/USD). If neccessary let's discuss it here first. --PBS27 09:45, 8 November 2005 (UTC)

EURUSD is the same as EUR/USD. There is no difference. In the FX market, if you write EUR/USD, it means 1 euro is equal to a variable number of dollars. That is market convention. Nfh 20:21, 18 November 2005 (UTC)
In the absence of any objections, I am inserted a stroke/slash into each currency pair. Nfh 19:51, 10 December 2005 (UTC)
Those who are mathematically inclined may see EUR/USD quoted as 1.3067 and think that the dimensions of the number 1.3067 is EUR/USD, when it is actually the reverse. Maybe a note in the article can clarify this. Finnancier 15:18, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
A less confusing way to think about it is EUR/USD = 1.3067, or 1 EUR/USD = 1.3067, and therefore 1 EUR = 1.3067 USD. Finnancier (talk) 15:25, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Pips

There is already an article called Percentage in point. The discussion of pips should be moved there, or at least better integrated. Finnancier 15:18, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Comments please, possible merge with Currency correlation

A debate is in progress about what to do with article Currency correlation and one of the proposals is to merge it into either Currency pair, Technical analysis or Exchange rate. We'd appreciate any suggestions of where the best place for it is. To keep the conversation in one place, please respond in Talk:Currency_correlation#Fallout_of_Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion.2FCurrency_correlation.
