in forex there are major and minor pairs, you only have to choose. but you should trade in a major pair because the spread is smaller.
yes that's true, if the minor pair spread is very large

choosing a forex pair is usually done while still learning transactions and is directly attached to the trading style.

good practice will make our skills in choosing a pair not just theory.
choosing a pair is the same as building a trading system because it's part of the system / strategy.

choosing the best pair is the pair that you master the most or like because if you like an automatic pair it will be easy to know the character.

How to Choose a Forex Pair

In choosing a forex pair, you can use several criteria for consideration. The selection criteria for forex pair can be chosen based on price movements per day (range), the level of volatility, or the impact of the existence of fundamental news.

1. Based on Range Price range

is defined as the average price movement obtained from the difference between High and Low (High - Low) prices during a certain time period

2. Based on Volatility

Volatility is the amount of distance between the rise and fall of foreign exchange prices. High volatility means that prices go up high quickly then suddenly fall in quickly too, giving rise to a very large difference between the lowest price and the highest price at a time.

3. Based on News

As is well known, a news can cause considerable price volatility. In fact, news also has the potential to change trends in the short term, so many traders must speculate on a number of pairs. In such conditions, you are advised to look for other sources of information regarding the pair to be traded.
conclusions in pair selection in my opinion must look for opportunities and understand each character in each pair.

My GBP pair doesn't like it, sir, I prefer the pair from Asia, where JPY is cool but also volatile.

I will give a little extra in choosing a pair, choose a pair that is slow but consistent in forming trends, he is USD / CAD and AUD / USD.

I agree, the two opposite pairs are almost perfect and have a strong trend character.
