Currencies trade against each other in exchange rate pairs such as EUR/USD, GBP/USD, USD/CHF, USD/JPY, etc.

They are in London, New York, Sydney, and Tokyo. Since there is no central location, traders can trade 24 hours a day.
In the spot market, the exchange of the currency pair takes place at the exact point at which the trade is settled.
