Hi,
I'm glad to have found this place. I see a lot of hardcore professionals moving around here, so I believe I'm at the right place...
Please don't laugh at my question right away, for I'm very green at this. But I can't seem to understand, and I need to ask. Please explain it to me so I understand.
If I SELL EUR/GBP, is it the same as BUYing GBP/EUR? And why?
If not, and my broker only supports EUR/GBP, is the only way to achieve the effect of buying GBP/EUR to construct a synthetic pair (I believe it's called that..)?
I'd be happy if someone could explain this to me...
Thank you!![](https://c.mql5.com/forextsd/smiles/regular_smile.png)
Yes, it's the same.
Same logic as :
1 TIMES 1/10 = 0.1
1 DIVIDE 10/1 = 0.1
