Most popular pairs are USDJPY and EURUSD, I saw a lot of trading robots built for them.

Does anyone here like trading with what would be considered an exotic currency pair?

trading is about making money .........and like any business you have to streamline costs ....

spreads are an expensive but necessary cost of doing business in trading and thats why i avoid a lot of exotics and other markets .........they cost a fortune to trade ....win or lose ......so its a no win situation

every small % edge helps in trading .....Euro pairs and USD pairs are cheapest spreads generally ....so i will stick on those mainly - unless i really see a G8 pairing i like and am going for more of a positional trade on higher TFs ....spread costs do scale down at these levels .....

If you're looking for a small spread when you trade EUR/USD is the pair you want, there is no doubt about that.

The other great thing about EUR/USD is that it has the smallest spread out of all currency pairs and it's quite volatile, so it's very useful if you want to scalp.

yes spreads of EUR/USD are lowest among all currency pairs and also is the most liquid pair.

What other currency pair would you recommend for scalping?

GBP/JPY is considering to be the most volatile currency pair at the moment, does anyone here prefer to trade it?

 

[Wilson80]

I usually trade:
EUR/USD (Euro – US dollar)
USD/JPY (US dollar – Japanese yen)
GBP/USD (British pound – US dollar)

EURUSD is all time favorite and in my opinion we should only stick to one pair if we wish to learn about trading.

Here are my favorite currency pairs:

EUR/USD
GBP/USD
EUR/JPY

XAUUSD can also be a good pick if you wishes to earn solid pips i guess.

Don't really have any favourites, I tend to just stick to the G10 currencies as they have the most liquidity
