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.
