Any pairs that is moving is good. as long as there is movement, there is money to be made. I personally use Mataf volatility tool to pick pairs. Anything between 80-120 pips is good. If you are scalping, aim for those with tight spread. if you are swinging, any pairs is okay.

You are right successful trader has the ability to calculate the real fraction of this market, but i doubt that any trader can be 100% certain about his all trading decisions.

{quote} That is my approach as well. It's a long, difficult journey to even get to a point where you profit more than you lose.
Yes definitely its a long journey you have to be patient enough to reach at that level where your profits became more than your losses. Patience plays very important role in the Forex world.

That's a great point. Also, it's heavily influenced by the whims of the Swiss Bank, and we all saw what happened back in 2015.

{quote} Wow, almost 7 pairs! Yes I am also comfortable with the major FX pairs; by the way do you use the same system for all these 7?
The strategies are different for different pairs. I just prefer to trade them, because of tighter spreads

How do you keep track of so many strategies at the same time?

EUR USD is always in fav list of every trader. But GBP and JPY are also the good ones to try them for trading.

For a beginner , I would suggest avoiding exotics, as typically they have wider spreads, higher volatility and bring certain unpredictability.
I concur. Trading in exotics is very risky in itself and even more so for newbies as you need to have extensive knowledge in these pairs. They have huge spreads, low volumes and less liquidity also which is not desirable. New traders should stick to major pairs like EUR/USD to gain experience.

Frankly, I'd always recommend to avoid exotics, unless you are truly a very experienced trader and you know the political and economic background of a certain exotic currency well.

There is a chance to get profit by means of any trading pair, if you are experienced. I use always demo account where I use multiple pairs to see the performance how it works.

Oh, I see. I don't know why I decided that you trade all the pairs you frequent at the same time. Sorry about the misunderstanding.

Usually the most news-affected currencies are the ones that belong to the biggest economies - the USD, CAD, JPY, GBP, etc.
