That is a simple question with a complicated answer, which depends on a lot of things - what kind of spreads do you prefer, are you a long-term or a short-term trader, which pairings are you interested in to begin with, etc.etc.

Hi @TanEric
@mlawson71 is definitely correct. there's a lot to consider. however, to answer your question, the most common traded pairs are EUR/USD, GBP/USD and USD/JPY. But I will provide a link that contains brief articles to increase your knowledge about different currency pairs.

You could also look into secondary pairs like USDCAD, NZDUSD, GBPJPY, EURGBP, EURJPY and so on.

No one can tell you which is the best FX pairs for trading that will suit for you :)
There are pairs tend to trending, other to ranging - just need to make small research and to find which will fit you.
If you want to invest rather to trade, then is better to chose trending market like USD/TRY or EUR/TRY or GBP/JPY or GBP/NZD that forms long trends and take advantage from the large price movement.
Also you need to be aware that they hide solid risk for your investment if the market does not follow your desired direction.

What is your dilemma? I don’t think there is such thing as “Best Currency for trading”. More likely “best currency for applying your strategy
Accept the loss as experience

That was my thought too - 'the best currency pair' is a very subjective choice that is different for different people based on their needs as traders.
