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.

here is another interesting question - is there a pair that you could call 'the most predictable' ..., anyone?

That depends on the trader, some who specialise in one currency have a higher hit rate, even when it doesn't behave as predictable they know it will revert, for me I would say eur/gbp but its a personal thing.

I think predicting any currency pair is just a probability of either it will go up or down or will not. Everything depends on market fluctuations, sometimes geopolitical issues and disasters are responsible for a rate change in Forex Pairs which can't be predictable so as per my experience, there is nothing like the most predictable.

To me a predictable pair is the one that often moves smoothly within its trend without much choppiness. But different pairs fit that description at different times, so one should always be paying attention.

Investment - the horizon for investment would suggest long term trading - buy and hold or sell and hold :)

EURUSD is the most traded but I wouldn't say most predictable.

The main pairs I think would all be a good option, also I don't think there's a best currency since the trend is always shifting. Just have to spend time and read the market yourself.

I agree. That is why I usually actually don't recommend it to newbies. I traded it as a newbie, it was a mistake.

Yes EURUSD is the most traded. I found more about a pattern or a setup and then how it works on the pair I like the most.

Which pair do you like the most? EUR/USD? Doesn't the volatility bother you?
