I know EUR/USD is the most trader pair, but I'm wondering: do seasoned forex traders favor only the major pairs, dabble with minors, or "anything goes." While perusing FF, I have seen most posts involve eurusd, but I have also noticed other minor pairs, some I never given any thought to, are also traded and appear to be profitable.
I wouldn't exactly call myself seasoned. Salty maybe..... When I first started trading I read "trade the EUR/USD, It's the best for noobs". The more I trade, the more I move away from it. Why? It's just as unpredictable as anything else, but with a smaller ADR. So if you are extremely over leveraged, yes you should probably stick to EUR/USD and lose your account more slowly. Otherwise, adjust your lot size and dip your toes into other pairs. You may find that another pair is better suited to your style / plan. My 200 pips....
Interesting to see what everyone focuses on. Some stick to EUR/USD for the liquidity and tight spreads, others bounce around the majors, and some mix in minors depending on volatility and setups. End of the day, it’s less about the pair and more about how well you know its behavior. Curious to see where most traders here land and why.
