Actually, there are no standard rules regarding forex pairs for beginners. Selection of this pair depends on the strategy and characteristics of each trader itself. Therefore, choosing a forex pair for suitable beginners must be based on personal observation.

The usual forex pair recommendations for beginners are EUR / USD and USD / JPY for major pairs, and EUR / GBP for pair cross. But according to Forextraderportal.com, other major pairs such as USD / CAD, AUD / USD, NZD / USD, and USD / CHF can also be used by beginners. The pair tends to be easier to analyze, because it can show a more predictable trend, and its characteristics do not save too many surprises.

Conversely, there are pairs that are not recommended for beginners, namely EUR / JPY, GBP / JPY, EUR / AUD, GBP / AUD, GBP / NZD, GBP / CHF, and USD / RUB. The pairs have wide spreads with high volatility and low liquidity. The movement in EUR / AUD for example, can reach 200-400 points and the price can fluctuate significantly. Plus, the trend can last a long time, even though the spread is bigger. Beginners who do not yet have the power of a qualified fund can quickly stop Stop Loss.

Good morning .... for forex trading is indeed a different trader, different in choosing the currency. And for me it's more focused on gbpusd and eurusd. With us already able to understand the character, we are increasingly helped in trading easier to get profits.

Yeah right ... it should be better if we focus on several currencies so that we are more familiar with the character. For beginners, he usually trades more on EURUSD and GBPUSD. But that does not mean that the other currency pairs are not good enough, this is back to the same as each one.

Good morning ... to limit the risk of loss we should indeed focus on one or two currencies, if we trade in several currencies if the analysis is wrong, it will make our capital closer to the margin call or stop out.

Actually this is not entirely true, depending on the style of each trader. For me personally because I use Super And demand, I will look for a currency that has a fresh supply and demand zone. And it can exist in various currencies.

If I like trading the major pair, and my favorite pair is EUR / USD, GBP / USD and USD / JPY. these three pairs are my favorite because the daily range is quite decent, not too big and not too small, so it's natural to use daily profit, and rarely any movement that is out of control, unless there is big news
