exotic pairs are not too well-known especially developed countries whose economies are more advanced so that the currency is more widely used although exotic pairs may also be suitable for traders who like low volatility.

exotic pair is not suitable for traders who use scalping strategy because it will take too long to reach the target, very contrary to the principle of scalping.

exotic pair is a pair that is rarely traded so rarely used especially experienced traders also hardly recognize exotic pairs, nor have I ever traded on that pair.

exotic pair is indeed a currency pair between developed and developing countries, but one of the currencies in exotic pairs is not so volatile, that is why exotic pairs are rarely used by traders.

I also rarely use exotic pairs because the price movement is very slow so to get profit you also have to be patient, but exotic pairs have advantages in terms of security because it's slow movement.

exotic pairs are rarely traded by successful traders and there are many other reasons why such pairs are rarely used, that is the reason why not many exotic pairs use them.

it's clear from friends' answers that exotic pairs are rarely traded because of their volatility and in my opinion most traders are looking for volatile markets or pairs that are very wild movements.

I think exotic pair is very annoying and the movement is very slow and more traders who want to profit faster than volatile price movements, that's the simple reason in my opinion.

I think exotic pairs are very rarely used because the pair is slow and less volatile, another reason is because traders choose a pair that is often traded and volatile.

I am also not familiar with exotic pairs and because of that I also have never traded with those pairs, it is likely that there are also many traders who rarely deal with let alone trade with exotic pairs.

I also rarely see any traders who show off trading results or forex theories that use exotic pairs, maybe because the pair is very slow moving.

exotic pairs are rarely in demand because their currencies come from developing countries where currencies tend to be slow or lagging, and even tend to weaken against major currencies.

exotic pair is a pair that is very slow in price movement so to make a profit there takes a relatively long time so it's rarely traded, maybe only traders who want full security will choose exotic pairs.

exotic pair is a pair with the lowest volatility, so it's only natural that the pair is seldom in demand, let alone used for trading, maybe only a few traders use it for security reasons.

I will give advice if you want to trade in exotic pairs then we must know the fundamental conditions of the two countries where the pair consists of 2 currencies of different countries, developed countries and developing countries.
