which are the major pairs to look at?

Hi everyone, as a newcomer to forex trading, which pair will you recommend me to look at?

So far the valid factors that I can think of, that makes a pair interesting to look at, is its market volume and stability. There will be other factors like the economic strength of the countries of the base and quote currency, but I am not entirely sure.

I mean there must be reasons why GBP/JPY is called the 'wild one', with price volatility. There must be some quirks to the major pairs that make them interesting, one way or another

WHat makes major pairs interesting it the low spread/margins and availability of news and news announcements.

Gbp/Yen is popular because it a pair that moves and makes lot of traders profitable in a very short time period.

GBPUSD is good for beginners. It has enough order flow to make strong moves without sudden reversals. The Euro is a little too plodding but is also good for starting. Stay away from the CAD and AUD until you have more experience.

Any combination of USD,GBP,EUR and JPY is good because of their low spreads (1-2 pips) except for GBP/JPY which has spread of around 4-5 pips. This is spread for my broker anyway but i think it should be around the same for other brokers.
