There are six currency pairs that are known as the major pairs. Other currency pairs are known as minor currency pairs and some are also known exotic pairs. The major currency pairs are the EURUSD, USDJPY, USDGBP, USDCAD, USDCHF & USDCAD. Pairs like EURCHF, EURJPY, GBPCHF are known as minor currency pairs as well as cross currency pairs.
Almost something like 90% of the transactions in the currency market take place in the major pairs. These pairs are considered to be the most Swinging with the smallest spread and are very liquid. Now you need to understand this thing. Spread is the bid / ask price which the broker charges. For example, brokers can buy a standard lot EURUSD 1.3423 and to sell a lot EURUSD 1.3424 standard. The difference between the bid / ask price is the spread. In this case, it's a pip.

So you pay 1 pip View to the broker if you enter this market and trading costs. But most of the smaller currenciespairs have spread that might range between 10 to 20 pips. Compare that high spread with that on the major pairs that have spread that range between 1-3 pips.
This high spread is due to the low liquidity that these minor pairs have in the market as compared to the major pairs that are highly liquid due to which they have very low spread. Due to the high spreads, most of these minor currency pairs are not profitable to trade. Another reason is that most of the currencies in the forex market have acted in terms of dollars. Suppose you want to buy the pair cross EURJPY. Your broker can not be sold this way right pair to do what you want, is to buy EURUSD and USDJPY pay twice the spread. Many brokers simply do not sell small pairs.
Another important thing that you should keep in mind that these six major currencies react to technical analysis tend to be very good. This could be due to the high liquidity that these pairs are in the market. This makes the high liquidityPrice discovery and market is fully efficient. But small pairs can not react too well to technical analysis.
When the couple arrived in small low liquidity market, it is perhaps advisable not to act. If you master only three 57 major currency pairs, you will make a lot of money.Most action in the forex market is one of these key pairs, as already said more than 90% of foreign exchange transactions relate. So it's best to stick with big pairs! WellLuck!
