But this pair is very dangerous one. Because of sudden movement.

Yes, EURGBP is very good for scalping and martingale on low timeframes.

But suddenly the price is going on quick uptrend/downtrend which is very bad for martingale and scalping.
Very bad? Why?
Because EA may hit stop loss or we may get margin calls.

Example:



 
That's all news for today.

Next time we will speak about the other pairs (more to follow).

Example:




There's EA specifically coded to trade this pair but on low liquidity period, mostly on session before Australian open with scalping and martingale type trading.

But if trade EURGBP in other session it will kill off account easily with its crazy move.

Which currency pair to trade (based on the article)


The #1 Factor to Use in Deciding Which Pair(s) to Trade


  1. "Another crucial factor is trend, or momentum (they are essentially the same thing). The major currencies such as the U.S. Dollar, Euro and Japanese Yen, have, in recent years, shown a greater probability to move in the direction of their long-term trends. One good rule of thumb in trading major currency pairs is asking yourself, is the price higher or lower than it was 3 and 6 months ago, and trading mostly or entirely in the same direction as any long-term movement, if it exists."
  2. "If you are trading only during Asian business hours, you will probably find that your best opportunities will involve Asian currencies such as the Japanese Yen and Australian Dollar. I urge you to consider whether you can develop a method to trade longer time horizons, as otherwise you could be missing other opportunities while you are asleep, the same way I missed out on USD/JPY opportunities in 2012. If I had the wisdom to trade daily charts back then, I could have profited from that big movement in the Yen very easily, even at night while I was asleep, with traders in Tokyo doing the heavy lifting for me!"
  3. "Finally, if you watch an economic calendar to see when the major central bank or most important economic data releases are scheduled for the major currencies, you can see that if you are in a trade before those releases, those releases might provide you with the volatility you need to turn your trade into a big winner, or at least show you where some volatility is likely to appear."

Above-trend growth is expected in a number of advanced economies, although uncertainties remain. In China, growth is being supported by increased spending on infrastructure and property construction, with the high level of debt continuing to present a medium-term risk. Commodity prices are generally higher than they were a year ago, providing a boost to Australia's national income. The prices of iron ore and coal, however, have declined over recent months as expected, unwinding some of the earlier increases."
