    Exotic currency pairs are typically less liquid and more volatile than major currency pairs, which can make them riskier to trade. However, for traders who are willing to accept the higher risk, exotic currency pairs can offer the potential for greater returns especially if have access to low-cost broker. Some traders may specialize in trading exotic currency pairs and have developed strategies specifically tailored to these markets.

    I remember when I was just starting out I tried many assets and exotic currency pairs were among them. They didn’t suit me. First, they have wider spreads than majors. Secondly, their logic is hard to understand for me.

    Exotic currencies have bigger spreads and may be manipulated more readily. Coming from sales and trade experience in London, I can confirm that manipulation occurs. To trade exotic pairings successfully, one must be exceptionally well educated.

    When trading such pairs, there is high volatility and large spreads. Therefore, trading them can be more dangerous, unpredictable and expensive.
