    Is it better to avoid Exotic currency pairs? Why?

    I do not trade the exotics. But the question did come to my mind many times, maybe someone who trades exotics can give some insight: are the movements in the exotics more closely related to the general movement of the "major" currency? And could we therefore attribute the movements of the...

    Is stock trading and forex trading different?

    Another thing that comes to my mind, is that stocks are expected to grow in the long term. Also as an asset class they are extremely granular - tons of industries, companies, etc. I would say we can get more emotionally attached to a stock in comparison to a fx pair. Talking about long term...

    Supply & Demand + Price Action
