You have trade within the pairs which your broker is offering. Generally market leader brokers offer more than 50 pairs and some upto 100 pairs so there are huge variety of choices of currency pairs however its not a good idea to trade every pair available rather find out which pairs work for you and stick to them

There are some currency pairs which move more than other currency pairs.

First you need to identify this with help of a Average Daily Trading Range.

For example: The average daily trading range of USD/CAD currency pair is usually below 70 pips. This means, the USD/CAD currency pair is moving less than 70 pips on a trading day, on average.

If a currency pair is moving more than 120 pips on average then it is a good currency pair to trade.

Also, based on my trading experience, if a Forex trading system works during London market session with EUR/USD currency pair then the same method does not work with USD/JPY currency pair during London market session.

Most currencies are available for trading..a few nations may restrict retail forex trading on their currency due to the volatility or the broker may not offer that currency, but most are available for trading. You may want to check out the brokers and see what they offer..

The only currency you will have issues trading are African currencies and some Asian currencies that lack liquidity. Other than that, everything is available. Just make sure the broker provides the currency you wish to trade

I don't really see any problem of what currency you are going to use as long as your trading strategy working profitably.

There large number of currencies that is being traded in forex but it is limited on the number your broker is offering. In forex you make the choice of the currency or number of currencies you will like to trade.

Can one trade with currencies of choice? Are all currencies allowed in forex trading?

I think trading with 1-2 trading currencies it risky, because you may not get enough number of good entry points by one-two trading pairs! I started with only EURUSD and GBPUSD but right now I am using almost 15 trading currencies.
