About British Pound / Turkish Lira
GBP/TRY is the exchange rate between the British pound and the Turkish lira. The price shows how many Turkish lira one British pound buys: when GBPTRY rises, the British pound is strengthening against the Turkish lira; when it falls, it is weakening.
GBP/TRY is a minor or exotic cross, so it usually trades with less liquidity and wider spreads than the majors and can move sharply around local news. The British pound is one of the oldest currencies still in use and is traded heavily in London, the largest forex centre. The Turkish lira is a high-volatility emerging-market currency that has historically reacted strongly to inflation and changes in monetary policy.
On Xellion's MT5 platform GBPTRY is traded as a CFD, so you can go long or short without exchanging either currency. One standard lot is 100,000 British pounds; the pip size and value are shown in the MT5 contract specification.
