Gold for sure! If you code a decent scalper on that pair its a goldmine.
 
From a strategic perspective, XAUUSD is the primary instrument. The high volatility of this asset aligns optimally with performance and scalability objectives.
 

Thank you for titling this poll "Which is your favorite pair?' instead of "Which is your favorite currency pair?"─even though you left XAUUSD off of the answer options. Technically, gold versus the U.S. Dollar is a pair but is not a currency pair. Therefore, you've invited a boatload of traders to the "Other" option, including me.

Another full-time retail trader (I can't remember who) once said that he was glad that the markets are rigged because if the markets weren't rigged, the markets wouldn't move... and if they don't move, you can't make money. Setting the debate about rigging aside, his greater point was that movement equals opportunities to profit. Said a bit differently, a sluggish market with low volatility is nothing but a sea of stoplosses.

As the previous replies state, gold is supreme in this regard... with the Dragon/Beast/Widowmaker/Guppy (GBPJPY) in a distant 2nd place.

Why do you like gold?

Personally I haven't test it a lot, tbh.
