woot, 1st 20 vote. While I do watch 20 I mostly focus on about 10. Anything under a 10 pip spread is fair game for me.

7 pairs: EUR/USD USD/JPY USD/CAD EUR/JPY GBP/USD
USD/CHF GBP/JPY

Seldom any others. Never more than 2 pairs at one time. Never two correlated pairs at same time.

GBP/USD is my main, followed by EUR/USD and USD/JPY. GBP/JPY is rarest. For all trades I use elliott wave as main method, followed by normal and weekly open gap scalping.

I trade about 10 pairs, majors, GBP, JPY, CHF, AUD, CAD crosses etc... It mainly depends if there is a good trade on specific pair.

My answer is 12.

I have a filter that scans through 16 currency pairs and through 4 time frames in each, in order to find my system's pre-entry conditions met. I dont mind which currency pair shows the right Technical Analysis setup.

I trade 4 -- EUR/US, GBP/US, US/JPY & EUR/JPY.

I was surprised to see 4 pairs as the "top" answer on the poll. For me, it works best visually to have 4 charts on my monitor. Onward.

I believe in the postulate that the triangle is the strongest geometric shape and I incorporated that philosophy into my trading. That being said, I do actually trade 4 pairs, but they're all intertwined (Oh no! He uses correlated pairs! He's a ______!). GBP/USD, GBP/JPY, GBP/CHF, USD/CHF. GBP/JPY may be the odd man out, but I trade it because it's always been one of my bread and butter pairs.
Never underestimate the powers of the Force.

Cool. I just asked because I remember posting {a while back} something along the lines of...

Freshmen use shotguns and Traders have Sniper Rifles.

Great mentality. Hold onto it.

Is this an automatic filter or a manual one? If it an auto one is it an independent software that works with your trade station/software? Or is it a part of a particular trading station/software? Sounds interesting. I only trade 3-4 pairs mostly because I can't effectively scan more than that many. I still usually only trade 2 or so at anytime.
