Does such a thing exist in fx currency pairs? Has anyone found a pair or a few they find easier to trade than say the common ones?

If you're finding the pairs stressful to trade, then back down to a longer time frame.

Maybe daily charts?

Don't put on so much risk... if you feel stress you're going to make bad choices.

Surley, there must be some pairs the pros avoid and others with a high win ratio. I think the USD/CHF and AUD/USD are easier to trade than EUR/USD OR GBP/USD/JPY Pairs.

pros avoid low liquid pairs, same is true for stock market.. hence why everyone wants to get in on the facebook

low liquidity = stress

you don't have to worry as much about that tho

as far as the least stressful pair right now, that would be the usdjpy..... and might be so for the rest of this year.....

as far as the easiest pair to trade right now, odds are it would be the usdjpy again.....

it's a slow mover with small daily ranges...... but keep in mind it's 1.3 a pip....... so it does not have to move as much....h
to trade and code, keep both simple... no call to impress....h

Yeah, this is sad actually.. I used to love scalping 5m momentum on $/JPY. Ever since the new head of the BOJ came in and threatened to do whatever it takes to keep the Yen tame, the pair just doesn't have the same 'dance' to it.

Instead of looking for a low stress pair, look for a low stress strategy
