I Track 27 Pairs, He Trades Only 4 - And the People Who Lose Are Usually in Between
If you open a random forex beginner’s trading platform, the screen will almost certainly show just one chart: EURUSD (the euro against the US dollar). It is nearly everyone’s default starting point - the most heavily traded pair in the world, with tight spreads and endless tutorials. Choosing it as your first pair is not a mistake. But the surprising part comes from a different scene. When you ask a group of traders who have actually traded for several years - and survived - which pairs they trade, you get answers that differ wildly. Some watch only 4 pairs, with a list that does not change for years. Others track 27 or 28, fitting nearly every major and cross pair into their system.
