With the current situation over Ukraine and Russia. Oil/gold are also good instruments to trade besides forex. There are correlations between currency and commodities so you can take more opportunities.
Personally, I don’t use exotic trading pairs on my live trading! Besides, I have no interest on Indices and others trading pairs! Because, my strategy is only based on the major Forex currency pairs, & I’m completely okay with this!
I trade both Forex and cryptocurrency. Both the markets are highly volatile and risky yet they provide a huge opportunity to make money. After all, what matters is the knowledge which makes you a pro at trading.
Other than forex I trade Crypto too, in fact it was one of the first things I check before opening an account with Forex Chief. And how relieved I was that they have Crypto in their list, especially the popular ones like BTC, Ethereum and Litecoin with very good trading conditions.
Honestly Crypto was my first interest in the market, mainly as a holder.
