The WORST currency pair

Hello fellow Traders,

there has been a lot of threads, on which is the best/most popular/noob friendly etc. currency pair. I would like to ask you to express your opinion, on the WORST, most unpopular, unfriendly, hated currency pair. The one, all should avoid and hate :smiley: My pick is NZD/JPY.

are there really strong opinions on the best currency pair? I mean it´s really just trader dependant. There is no best or worst currency pair. Obviously if you want to scalp and u choose a pair with high spread it´s probably not very good but if you choose another strategy this pair could do just fine.

Anything to do with NZD is going to be ridiculous, especially after the pip spread is accounted for. Most currency pairs that don’t include the USD are too volatile for me.

Do you mean ridiculous generally or just at the moment following the earthquake? I have made good pips on a number of occasions on NZD/USD, so I would not dismiss it out of hand.

I personally don’t get much joy from USD/JPY… however, I do really like GBP/USD and GBP/JPY.

Strangely the longest trade I ever had to hold before it went into profit was the EUR/USD (end last year). I’ve also had to hold USD/CHF for a while (ie weeks) before exiting in profit… but USD/CHF has also been pretty good on occasions as a turn-around and exit in profit.

I hate NZD as as base currency. Never touch it, got myself burned more than once with it.
