In the Years of trading, I have aquired a lots of knowledge about how to go about trading the currency pairs.  There are historically Old pairs that are called major currency pairs, The Top pair is the 1. EURUSD, as both euro and usd are the major currencies of the world.  Rest of them are, 2. gpbusd  3. audusd 4. usdjpy 5. usdchf 6. usdcad Most brokers group them together as major pairs, like one of my broker as below, In years after trading I have devised several systems to trade the currency pairs or the Forex markets.

I was just there to do some small work for $6.5/hour.  I will not deny it, but I was their busboy, Get their foods from the local restaurants, fast food joints etc.  Also doing some other work for them for an hourly pay!! At that time I had no idea what trading is, let alone forex trading, which was automated at that time in NYC. Later slowly learnt a lot from them about how they do the currency trading, mostly USD related pairs i.e. eurusd, gbpusd etc... As I was very busy with studies could not pay much attenti...
