    In my opinion exotic currency pairs have lower trading volumes and less market liquidity compared to major currency pairs, making it more difficult to enter and exit positions quickly and at favorable prices. So, they should be avoided.

    TBH, it can be better to avoid exotic currency pairs because they are less liquid and have wider bid-ask spreads, which can make trading more expensive and increase the risk of slippage.

    Is there any way to reduce slippage while copying trades?
