Don’t Ignore the Cross Currency Pairs When Trading Forex on MT5
Many forex traders focus solely on the US dollar and the currency majors, yet the cross-currency pairs often deliver better price action and stronger trends. In this video, we show you one example on the EUR/CAD.
Cross currency pairs—those without the US dollar—are often overlooked by forex traders. Majors like EUR/USD dominate attention. But ignoring crosses misses unique opportunities. These pairs reveal pure relational dynamics. On MT5, they trade seamlessly. Volume price analysis (VPA) confirms conviction in their moves.
Why Cross Pairs Offer Distinct Advantages
Cross pairs (e.g., EUR/GBP, GBP/JPY, AUD/NZD) show direct currency relationships:
No USD Noise: Focus on specific drivers—ECB vs BoE for EUR/GBP, or risk sentiment for GBP/JPY.
Unique Volatility: GBP/JPY ("the beast") swings wildly on yen safe-haven flows. EUR/CHF reacts to SNB interventions.
Relational Insight: Spot overbought/oversold without dollar interference.
