Thoughts on choose what to trade for newbie?

[abi211gail]

Anyone have any thoughts or suggestion that what should a rookie do when it comes to choosing what to trade?
focus on one or multiple at the same time?
and just out of curious, what do you guys trade currently?

My advice is to trade pairs you understand. Instead of choosing a number of pairs, for the start its better to choose 2/3 pairs. You can try out any major pairs they are highly popular and volatile.

EUR/USD is a good one to start with. Lots of liquidity there

 

[K_Robdog]

Stick to the Majors for now:
EUR/USD, USD/JPY, GBP/USD, AUD/USD, USD/CHF, NZD/USD and USD/CAD

Majors (USD pairs) work the best for a beginner I believe. As far as the number is concerned, for a rookie better limit the no of pairs to a few than eyeing on so many at once.

I agree with above comments. Major pairs are the best way for the newbie to focus on at the moment.

i would say try a bit of the charts that take your fancy, see what you like and what you dont like. keep a handful of charts open on demo and see

can also try gold

Do not spread yourself to thin, stick to a few pairs only, I would probably suggest choosing from the major pairs to begin with.

Be the master of one, not the joker of all forex pairs.

EUR, GBP and USD pairs are good to start with as they USUALLY maintain a relatively solid price and not too volatile so might be good to start out with on demo

Good to start with a smaller number according to me. That helps you understand how pairs work better.Rest euro and usd are my favourite pairs.

I agree on those pairs.

To me, trading in a major pairs are a good way to improve your trading. The volatility is low and liquidity is better so you should be able to trade better

Majors, Gold. They are liquid and volatile enough to catch price swings (use leverage with caution), gold is also perfect for long-term predictions especially when Central Banks pursuit goals of flooding liquidity into economy and governments doing the same with fiscal stimulus.

 

[Marco James]

I will also go with the majority. Major pairs for me as well.

No matter what one trades, my suggestion is to start with low capital in the beginning. That's a must. Do not start large or over trade as that can really help you blow your account in seconds.

EURUSD is one of my favorites and seems to be a safer option for newbies! Hope this helps

EURUSD is every newbie’s favourite and so is mine

 

[hustrewilliams]

The stability of EUR/USD makes it favourable for the beginners. My another favourite is JPY/USD. Yen’s shown its strength, especially ever since the crumble in 2008. It's surely emerged as a safe haven.

I would suggest focusing on one or two pairs for the start
