    Exotic pairs are not necessarily "bad" to trade, but they may present certain challenges and risks that traders should be aware of. Though they may be less liquid and more volatile than major or minor pairs, they are potentially more lucrative. If you want to trade them, then carefully research and understand the economic and political factors that may impact the value of the currencies involved.

    Trading exotic currency pairs, in my opinion, is more difficult than trading other pairs.

    Furthermore, unlike major pairs like EUR/USD, USD/JPY, and so on, they do not have tight spreads.

  10. 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 exotic pair mostly to the movement of the "major" currency in the pair?

    And would this make TA easier or more complicated?
