stick to the majors they have less spread

the USD/MXN sometimes runs at 400 pip spread

while the USD/CAD 3-4 pips at the most

the Eur/usd at 1-2 pips

all that matter in the world is the USD anyway so trade it accordingly

eur/usd
gbp/usd
aud/usd
usd/jpy
usd/chf
usd/cad

eur/jpy is another legit pair (not a synthetic)

For starters, review some of the freebie edu content on forex trading, usually it will come with a list of currencies that are traded on the market.
In addition, google some of the top forex brokers and you should be able to see the currency pairs they trade in. Hope that helps..

If you look at more currencies, you can get a big edge through correlations..

For me the best currency pair USD/CAD, I think no matter which pair you choose, the more you trade it, the more you will familiar with it, then you will think that ‘s the best currency for you.

Here is a list with many currency pairs. I don't know if it is the complete list that's why I say many instead of complete. Anyway if you look some pairs that are more exotic than exotics you will notice huge spreads and rare moves.

Yes, the exotics usually range in a narrow band and the spread is way too big..
