look at GBPCHF, GBPNZD, EURNZD, GBPAUD

the point is: select the market that have the moves and volatility where you can make good profit in short term trades as well as long term

good luck

I dont trade any currency pair in particular. I search for trends across the board and I will trade whichever pair that's trending. Why would I stick with the majors if, for example, an exotic cross like NZDCHF is trending like a juggernaut?

I'm totally agree with you
and this was my question, why people stick to EU, GU all the time, why they afraid from other pairs like GNZD, NZDCHF? is the problem in the spread or what?

For my daily charts, this is something I've just started doing. I've put a short on the USDCNY (China Yuan) which is going well. I'm also looking for an opertunity to short the EURGBP. Lots of fun stuff.

However for my 5 minute trades I feel that the smaller spreads make too much difference. That and with spreads of 2 pips or less I still have plenty of options with the majors (does the AUD count?).

On the lighter side, if I trade tonnes of currencies I can justify to my partner that I need a new shiny computer that can handle multiple monitors

G/J is my favourite to to trade also, especially when it breaks out.

Well over half my trades are USD/CAD, and the reason I think I like it most is that it plays pretty much by fib rules & trendlines, and (mostly in the fall during the buying for heating season, and spring when the US strategic reserve gets restocked) it follows oil...Next is Eur/JPY, the rest are just targets of opportunity...

Right now I have stepped aside from USD/CAD as most of my Retirement is held in CAD. Hence... I am Physically Long CAD. {That could change on a whim.}

Still playing the bet >< GBP & USD

I like USD/JPY because USD/JPY tends to rebound sharply. Well, I intend to aim for buying when sharp fall...

I see a lot of love for GBP/JPY (the Beast) in the older posts for its volatility.
Is G/J still the king of volatility, or do you guys find better movement in other pairs these days? Trying to figure out if it's too aggressive for a beginner

Cost analysis of the currency pair
If you're asking yourself which currency pair you should trade, you should perform a cost analysis of the currency pair.
The question here is: "I have $100, how many lots can I trade with that? What is the total cost of the trade (spread + commission)? How much do I pay if I make a profit of $10?" You need to find the answer to this question. I'm afraid the most favorable cost is in Gold. If you wish, you can experiment with the indicators in the link below, as this varies depending on the broker.
