The beauty of GBPJPY is: Price action strategy is suitable & high volatility; as a result one of my favorite trading pair!

{quote} Winners (great candlestick signals, lots of movement, pretty price behavior) EURAUD EURNZD GBPAUD GBPNZD Almost there (lacking at least one of the winner's perks... mostly the pretty price behavior) EURCAD GBPCAD GBPCHF GBPJPY EURJPY Just decent (good candlestick signals but slow and can get ugly sometimes) AUDUSD NZDUSD Warning: Some of these pairs have wide spreads. Always adjust your lots to minimize risk.
I tried trading each currency pair you have listed and you are correct Sir!

interesting question....some people are always interested in pairs that move with high level of volatility for me thats not a good trading option that helps traders to recover their losses because high volatility pairs normally trend in the long term and do not return to their mean prices as compared to low volatility pairs because the divination is always very high..take for example GBPJPY and EURUSD....GBPJPY has an average daily range of over 80Pips while EURUSD has above 40Pips that means if you are trading the same system based on technical analysis and there is a buy signal for GBPJPY and the trade goes bad the is 1) High probability of losing more money money 2) it is more likely to loss more money since most volatile pairs are less liquid than non volatile pairs.

I love trading Gold and GBPJPY, cause their pip ranges are BIG recently, great for daily swing trades

What about the Gold spread? Often that one is quite wide.

Good One "Don't trade a currency whose central bank has been known to place an artificial cap on its value against another currency: Swiss Franc. I always trade the Eur/Usd, because these two currencies represent stability being the world's largest trade partners and reserve currencies"

I agree. I have been trading by that principle for years now and I do not intend to change it.

Why do you like this pair in particular?

I think this is a very personal question as when I look through the 100s of trades I have taken, some pairs have just provided better results than others.

Why? Maybe one is more "in tune" with the price movements of one pair over others.

e.g. I did much better in EURJPY for many years but recently USDJPY has been my favourite, based on results. One I have never got on with (and have lost money on overall) is EURGBP.

But, like I said, it'll depend on temperament of the trader, preferred trading system and timeframe and many more factors.

Basically, EURJPY is also my favorite trading pair! Because, it’s volatile & providing me a decent success ratio according to my trading system!

Imo there can be a lot of things to consider especially considering the fact that not everyone uses the same strategy and/or approach to trading. I'm a swing trader, so spreads won't affect me as much as someone who is a scalper or daytrader. But what I tend to look at is liquidity and volume. For example the eur/usd is one of, if not the most widely traded pairs in the world so liquidity during peak days of the week for trading usually drives spreads down which eats less profit on winning trades. I tend to lean more toward the majors because of the attractive liquidity but there are times when I'll take a look at some crosses when planning trade ideas for the upcoming week to see if there are any setups emerging that catch my attention. Anyway, great q&a ! This was a big question for me as well. Just have to do market research and see what works best for you.
