What you can trade

Majors

The seven most liquid pairs — EUR/USD, GBP/USD, USD/JPY, USD/CHF, AUD/USD, USD/CAD and NZD/USD. Tightest spreads and deepest liquidity.

Minors and crosses

Pairs between major currencies that exclude the US dollar, such as EUR/GBP and AUD/JPY. Slightly wider, often trending more cleanly.

Exotics

Emerging-market currencies against the majors. Wider spreads, thinner books and a stronger sensitivity to local policy decisions.

Why currency markets suit active traders

Volume is enormous and continuous, so slippage on the majors is typically small even in size. Sessions overlap, which concentrates volatility into predictable windows — the London/New York overlap being the most active. And because every quote is a ratio between two economies, macro releases translate into price movement quickly and legibly.

Spreads widen around scheduled releases. If you hold through one, size the position for the spread you will get during the release rather than the one you see beforehand.
