Thanks to the good results I have had following your 4H Box Breakout thread..........I would say that GBP/JPY is becoming my favorite pair.

EUR/JPY I find to be my favorite, however, that is only due to the spreads I get. Given the motions of the currencies over the past couple of years the AUD/USD, NZD/USD, EUR/USD and other JPY pairs will appeal to me as well. Anything that on a 4hr chart, while zoomed all the way out, travels from a top corner to a bottom one, or bottom to top, it will do just fine.

My fav is E/J too because of the spread but also because this pair gives me decent volatility during the doldrums of the Asian session.

GBP/JPY is my favorite.
Really starting to like this one more and more, too.

ZIMB$/ICELAND KRONA, spreads a bit big though. Still trying to tame the beast.

The swaps would be lucrative on this

Hello!

I haven't really picked one over another, I guess. G/J moves nicely and I like that.
I feel that if a person can trade one they can trade another, regardless of spread ... as for me I'm STILL working on my trading in a general way. A very long road - the journey to forex trading "success"!

As a side note: I constantly work on discarding what I "used to" do and upgrading it with an improved approach. With so much ongoing personal improvement required of us and an evolving market we simply must grow in a very dynamic way IMO. There's always room for improvement and getting rid of the old.

GBP/JPY and EUR/JPY are my favorite. I prefer EUR/JPY over GBP/JPY for scalping just due to its spread.

I'll take the "Highly traded, least volatile EURUSD" for $1,000 Alex.

Keeps me out of "Jeopardy"
