  1. Ah, I didn't realize the pair was referred to as a "cross". I thought he was alluding to some sort of price versus moving average technique.

    Shorter answer ..... Any currency combo that doesn't include the USD.

    Technically not true. A cross is any currency that does not include the base currency.

    Those are only cross rates for Americans. If you live in Japan, the EUR/JPY is NOT a cross rate. LOL.

    Let me try this one more time for you. A cross rate is any rate that does not involve your local currency. It is NOT simply a currency that does not involve the dollar. In Japan, the EUR/JPY would not be referred to as a cross date as they have nothing to cross. They are simply exchanging their local yen for euros.

    I don't agree.

    There would be three currencies involved. Whatever EUR/JPY rate they agree on will be influenced by the USD.
