Thread: How many pairs do you really have at the same time?

I would like to know how many currency pairs are on your active daily trading list. I’m not talking about having them on the platform, but how many you really analyze and operate. I started with 10 and ended up collapsing. Now I’m only following 3, and everything flows better. How do you do it?

I have two pairs left over. EUR/USD and GBP/USD. I prefer to meet them as if they were my neighborhood rather than jumping among strangers.

Sometimes I operate up to 12 pairs simultaneously. Of course, I have custom automations and alerts. But if you’re starting, that’s crazy.

Less is more. The one who tries to cover everything does not specialize in anything. I only see EUR/USD and AUD/USD. One slow, one more volatile.

I started out just like you, with a thousand open graphics as if that were going to give me more opportunities. Classic error. Now I just look at USD/JPY and I'm doing better.

3 pairs: EUR/USD, GBP/JPY and USD/CHF. I have them in different time blocks and they give me enough daily movement. But I do not mix styles between them.

3 pairs? I'm not even clear with one yet! EUR/USD already drives me crazy with so much manipulation. But I'm learning to stop inventions and keep focus.

Are there really people who operate more than 5 pairs at the same time manually? Or do they have clones? Because that’s not management, it’s roulette.

Depending on your style. If you do scalping, you can't keep an eye on more than 2. If you swing, you can follow 6 and act only when there are clear conditions.

I have a 6 watchlist, but I only operate if there's a signal in 2 or 3. Trying to operate is a recipe for making mistakes.
