Sometimes you will be restricted to a limited number of currency pairs.  This is especially true if you are using some sort of artificial intelligence software.

On the other hand, most broker platforms permit you to trade all of the pairs.  But then again, some will not let you trade oil, gold or silver.

Here is a list of the most frequently traded pairs:

  • EUR/USD – Euro and the US dollar
  • GBP/USD – British pound and the US dollar
  • USD/JPY – US dollar and the Japanese yen
  • USD/CHF – US dollar and the Swiss franc
  • USD/CAD – US dollar and the Canadian dollar
  • AUD/USD – Australian dollar and the US dollar

Some experts recommend that you limit your trading to just one or two pairs (eg EUR.USD and GBP/USD.  Not a bad idea actually.
