I think GBP/USD was easy enough, at least it's work for me with my project,

The reason is they r more active. Who wants to trade a pair if they never move, or move very little steps?
For the 2 gbp pairs, if u have caught the trend, even intraday, 30-60pips is average, can go over 100+, and u can be more confident to sell rallies and buy dips because reversal during a day is not that often.
You may also consider eur/jpy with smaller spreads but similar movements as gbp/jpy.

Hi All,

I appreciate all the comments, indeed I have learned a lot from the sharing of your opinion.

I must admit that GBP/JPY is a wavy navy in the stormy sea, so I don't dare to trade it for the time being. But for AUD/USD, what method or indicator shall I try?

I would say GBPUSD. I've been trading cable for more than a year and it's been fun.

Hi All, I usually take trade on AUDUSD and USDJPY when Asia open and EURUSD when Europe Open.

Peace....

Any pair you choose, you should establish the most corelated pairs for it and watch for the same signals (or the oposite signal - if the corelation is negative). I always check EURUSD and USDCHF before trading GBPUSD.
EURUSD tends to give the same signal and the USDCHF tends to give the oposite signal.
Due to the nature of this pair, I set my SL to 35-50pips. So, the risk/revard rule is making me to set the TP to 100-150pips.

Like to ask you a question. With your SL of 35-50 pips and a risk/reward ratio of 3 times for TP, how long does your trade normally takes to close at that TP.
