    From my personal experience, I found trading exotic currency pairs to be more complex than other pairs. Moreover, unlike major pairs, such as EUR/USD, USD/JPY, etc., they don’t have tight spreads.

  3. Exotic pairs are way too volatile and offer very little liquidity making the spreads wider. I totally avoid these pairs.

  5. They are complex pairs to trade because they have high volatility and it is quite difficult to predict their price movements. Hence, it is advised to not trade with exotic pairs at least in your early stages of trading.

    My reasons for trading less exotic currency pairs include the fact that exotic currencies are highly volatile, illiquid.

  10. I’d suggest beginner to begin with one of the major currency pairs and focus on it. They can trade exotics when they have gained a certain level of experience and knowledge.
