I’d say EUR/USD because it’s the most volatile pair & have the smallest bid and ask spreads.
Major pairs are the best pairs for beginners. And amidst all the major pairs, where EUR/USD presently stands around an exchange rate of 1.00, the best major pair will be AUD/USD.
I prefer EUR/USD. But any major pair works best for me.
You can start with basic pairs like EURUSD and GBPUSD which are highly volatile & offers best opportunity in the market.
Even a couple months back, we’d say the EUR/USD is the best pair to trade for beginners. But as per the present market conditions, the pair is weak compared to USD/GBP, and USD/AUD. Beginners who want to swing trade with a timeframe of months, the USD/JPY is the best pair for them. But beginners who want to day trade, I’d say the USD/GBP and the USD/EUR are good.
I started trading with EUR/USD in the past and I think it is an ideal pair for any beginner. You can also go for other major pairs like USD/JPY or GBP/USD based on your preference.
In my view, the best pair for a beginner would be the EURUSD since the volatility is lower when compared to other currency pairs and it is simple to trade, even with a basic strategy.
Though risk management is crucial for new traders, choosing a currency pair that is more stable, provides good liquidity and offers tight spreads. Currency pairs with high volatility will be hard to manage.
The best currency pair to trade for beginners is EUR/USD. This currency pair is also heavily traded, so there is good liquidity. The spread is usually tight, so you can keep your costs down.
I believe, non-volatile trading pairs are good for the new traders; for example- major FX pairs!
Hi, it might be a good idea to start with basic major currency pairs such as EUR/USD, USD/JPY, and GBP/USD. Because those are some of the most heavily traded currency pairs out there.
I absolutely agree on this! focusing on the most traded pair when starting out is very important to establishing a foundation for your trading.
I think it’s a good way to practice choosing the right leverage or suitable time-frame. But among the others, I would say i prefer the USD/EUR. I found it the easiest and stable to trade.
I started trading consistently starting in January using a 5 min scalping strategy and EURUSD and USDJPY are my two go to!
Godspeed! Where do you learn about the 5 min scalping strategy?
