A stock market or equity market is a public entity (a loose network of economic transactions, not a physical facility or discrete entity) for the trading of company stock (shares) and derivatives at an agreed price; these are securities listed on a stock exchange as well as those only traded privately.
A security or financial instrument is a tradable asset of any kind. Securities are broadly categorized into: debt securities (such as banknotes, bonds and debentures) equity securities, e.g., common stocks derivatives contracts, such as forwards, futures, options and swaps
The foreign exchange market (forex, FX, or currency market) is a form of exchange for the global decentralized trading of international currencies. The foreign exchange market assists international trade and investment by enabling currency conversion.
In finance, an exchange rate between two currencies is the rate at which one currency will be exchanged for another. It is also regarded as the value of one country s currency in terms of another currency. For example, an interbank exchange rate of 91 Japanese yen (JPY, ) to the United States dollar (US$) means that 91 will be exchanged for each US$1 or that US$1 will be exchanged for each 91.
A currency pair is the quotation of the relative value of a currency unit against the unit of another currency in the foreign exchange market. The quotation EUR/USD 1.2500 means that 1 Euro is exchanged for 1.2500 US dollars. Here, EUR is called the "base currency" or "unit currency", while USD is called the "term currency" or "price currency".
The bid price (also known as the buy price) and the ask price (also known as the sell price) of a security are the prices at which buyers and sellers are willing to purchase or sell that security. The bid shows the current price at which a buyer is willing to purchase shares, while the ask shows the current price at which they are willing to sell.
The bid offer spread is the difference between the prices quoted (either by a single market maker or in a limit order book) for an immediate sale (offer) and an immediate purchase (bid). If the current bid price for the EUR/USD currency pair is 1.5760 and the current offer price is 1.5763, this means that currently you can sell the EUR/USD at 1.5760 and buy at 1.5763. The difference between those prices (3 pips) is the spread.
Margin buying refers to the buying of securities with cash borrowed from a broker, using other securities as collateral. This has the effect of magnifying any profit or loss made on the securities.
In finance, technical analysis is a security analysis methodology for forecasting the direction of prices through the study of past market data, primarily price and volume. Main technical analysis concepts: trending chart patterns indicators
A market trend is a tendency of a financial market to move in a particular direction over time. These trends are classified assecular for long time frames, primary for medium time frames, and secondary for short time frames. Traders identify market trends using technical analysis, a framework which characterizes market trends as predictable price tendencies within the market when price reaches support and resistance levels, varying over time.
Uptrend (bull) each successive peak and trough is higher than the ones found earlier in the trend Downtrend (bear) each successive peak and trough is lower than the ones found earlier in the trend

A price pattern is a pattern that is formed within a chart when prices are graphed. Examples of "classical" chart patterns include: Head and shoulders Cup and handle Double top and double bottom Triple top and triple bottom Price channels Wedge pattern Triangle
