Cross currency pair

A forex pair that does not include the US dollar, such as EUR/JPY. Coverage of crosses shows whether the asset list extends beyond major USD pairs.

Do not confuse

Common comparison error

A cross-currency pair is defined by excluding USD, not by being exotic or by having a particular spread or payout.

Practical use

How to verify Cross currency pair

Read Cross currency pair together with Major currency pair, Asset, Currency pair. The comparison must preserve the exact rule, value, state, and evidence described below.

A neutral example

EUR/JPY is verified as a cross because neither side is USD. Its provider, session, quote precision, payout, and settlement are recorded separately from the broker's major USD pairs.

Evidence path

Where to verify Cross currency pair

Use the source that governs the exact contract, account, entity, or platform state. A general definition cannot replace current broker terms.

Symbol information and market scheduleMatch the symbol to its underlying market, price source, trading hours, weekend treatment, and settlement availability.

Broker platform recordCompare the platform symbol and timestamp with the named market or provider instead of relying on the asset label alone.
