sailingconsist posted:Actually I am fairly new in exotic pair trading and mostly practicing them in demo. With major pairs I am sure of strategy but want to increase my profits. Do share the strategies you use for exotic pair trading! Thanks!Marshalsam877 posted:Absolutely. Exotic pair trading should not be undertaken by people with less experience because as the chance for the profit increases, the same is the risk for loss. It’s always better to balance out. In fact that’s why I am using an assortment of brokers ranging from Pepperstone to Fxview because this helps me in better risk management. Multiple brokers and multiple currencies is my strategy.
There are other popular pairs apart from USD/EUR for trading like AUD/CAD,USD/JPY, USD/GBP etc. which are worth exploring. Newbies shouldn’t venture outside this zone.

sailingconsist posted:EURUSD is also my favorite.Breonnataylor posted:No doubt EUR/USD are the most easiest pairs of trading but I think after some time a trader should invest his/her time to learn about the exotic forex pairs like ZAR/USD because they hold more profit potential. When the major pairs are stagnated or not providing profits, exotic pairs can come to the rescue.Mariel23134 posted:Absolutely I agree with you that EUR/USD is the easiest pair for anyone trading in forex. It is not complex and heavily liquid which is a plus. I think traders should use common pairs of trading initially.
I prefer to trade USD EUR. In my opinion, this is the most understandable and predictable pair.

Actually, least preferable pairs are those which don't include major currencies, such as gbp, eur, usd and jpy. I don't know why, but I started to notice that I never use pairs like chf/rub or somehing like that. Maybe, it's my mistake but I trust only those currencies which are admitted as the world biggest currencies.

Generally, I prefer to trade with major pairs because they are easy to trade and more liquid and less volatile. For instance, EUR/USD and USD/JPY. There is also a lot of information available on them, so traders can perform their analysis easily. I avoid exotic pairs because they are extremely volatile. For example, USD/MXN and USD/ZAR. Traders should also avoid using high leverage with these because this could lead to huge losses.

I avoid trading with exotic pairs since they are difficult to trade and also the most troublesome pairs because they are not very liquid.
