Answer to question one and two - EURUSD! Most popular and most predictable. Many EAs and systems are trading only on this pair.

AUD/CAD.

Easy to trade, trends wonderfully. It's like taking candy from a baby. I think my win to loss ratio on this pair is 20:1.

EUR/USD is a favorite for it's tight spread, high volatility. But it doesn't move enough for me and I find it fakes out quite a bit.

Anything with a low spread. I generally avoid the Loonie (USD/CAD) except on higher time frames.
Gone to a better place

Its ability to trade in direction for enough time for my ATR-based trailing stop to catch some profit. That and not too high spreads.

My favorite pairs are: Eur/Usd, USD/JPY and USD/CHF
I think that most predictable pair is USD/JPY, because lot of time is based on technical point of view.

USD/JPY most predictable, man, you know what you are talking about.

EURUSD is most predictable, because of high activity and large groups interested in main trend.

Why do you like NZD pairs so much?

EURUSD definitely the most predictable currency pair because it have around 70% of entire Forex volume.

The answer, in one word: Volatility.

NZD cross pairs are some of the most volatile pairs in the market. My trading preference side with pairs that move an average 200-400 ticks per trading day.

I'm not an Intraday trader, I can stomach NZD cross pairs spread of 10pips to 15pips per Lot.

My trading style is scalping .. so i hold positions several seconds or minutes .. in this really fast trading is USD/JPY most predictable .. EUR/USD has the most liquidity, but really offen is too much volatile for my trading style
