Is it true that EUR USD did not work anyone here? Which is the most traded pair in trading?
It certainly worked out for me. EURUSD is one of my favorite pairs for trading. Plus my broker allows me to use any Expert Advisor that I want and HFT , so scalping is fun and profitable !

EUR/USD is and remains the most popular trading pair on the market. Whether it's the best one is debatable, but it is definitely the most popular one.

Among the major FX pair? According to my personal observation, it’s the GBPJPY.

For scalping USD/JPY could be better, because it is more volatile. But EUR/USD is fine as well. Both pairs are with low spreads, so they are appropriate. I think the most important for scalping is the lower spread, so while opening and closing the position for short period of time- to be possible to generate profit

probably because it is connected in some way to the stocks and commodities trends, therefore there is better chance to track it.

Other pairs than the majors can offer great trends as well, volatility and ranges which will suite varying trader’s styles. Just because the majors get the most focus in the media doesn't mean they are always the best pairs to trade at any given time. I personally find pairs that are more volatile easier to trade. The big moves mean I get more opportunities to trade and can generally take very short-term trades for reasonable profits. Other traders may prefer slow moving pairs and to gain a good profit, but I guess you should more patient and have stable nerves.

I also like to trade G/J because it's good for long term trading and larger pip move. but for the gj i always use smaller % than i currently using for other pairs like EUR USD etc. becuase this pair moment is larger than otehr pairs. and without good money manegtment plan it can blow the account

Mate, what did you mean by %? Profit ratio or risk ratio or anything else? Thanks in advance.

Good decision! Because, GBPJPY is more volatile than others major pairs! So, playing with much smaller trading lot size is really appreciated by everyone.

GBP/JPY has been, from what I have heard right here on Forexfactory, the most volatile currency pair for the past year.

On the other hand: right now the worst pair is BTCUSD. Lol, the price is around 4000$.

BTC dropped like a rock in the past two weeks. If you were selling you were okay, but if you had longs you're in trouble.

which pair is best for news trading successfully ? there is anyone who got success continuously from news trading ?

  • Dec 15, 2018 6:42am Dec 15, 2018 6:42am
I trade only GBPAUD, GBPNZD and (sometimes) GBPJPY because they are the pairs that consistently trend for at least 100 pips daily. This means you can get into a trade in the middle of the trend of the day and still can expect the price to have enough room to move at least another 50 pips.

My recommendation is to go to the News Section here on ForexFactory and check the highest impact events for the week, then trade the pairs affected by them.

Nice to know, there 3 pairs are working for you! I guess you have built your trading strategy based on these 3! Actually, making consistent money is not easy, need enough preparations.
