應該交易外來貨幣嗎？

 對於那些不喜歡交易主要貨幣對的人來說，這個問題至關重要。你可能不了解外來貨幣的構成，有些貨幣對，你甚至從來都沒聽說過。沒人談論他們可能是因為它們的波動太大，太容易受影響，所以交易員都被吓跑了。但我要告訴你一個秘密…外來貨幣不會吓到你。與之相反，外來貨幣會能給你帶來最好的外匯交易機會。

你不相信？沒關係，我來告訴你要考慮外來貨幣對的三個原因：

1.從技術上來講，它們是很“順從”的。什麼意思？就是說，如果它真的突破了支撐位或阻力位，那它就是突破了，接下來你就可以考慮下一個支撐位或阻力位了。主要貨幣對卻不會遵守這個規律，它們會受到各種市場力量的影響。

2.它們會移動。上文提到，外來貨幣波動範圍很大，很吓人。但是停滯不前、沒有波動的貨幣對是賺不到錢的。舉例來講，如果你賣出了土耳其里拉，那麼它會下降並波動，它不會移動10個然後就停在那里不動了。

有一點很重要，外來貨幣對可能會移動2,000點，然後停下來，這太兇猛了。為什麼會這樣？因為只有一小部分銀行會交易這些貨幣，所以一旦開始移動，就會一動到底，同樣的，一旦移動停止，誰也不能扭轉這個局勢。所以外來貨幣對的走勢會這麼兇猛狂野。

3.最後，交易外來貨幣很有趣。一提起“外來（異國）”這個詞，你的第一印象也許是泰國的海灘，或是美麗港灣邊的幾棵棕榈樹，我們不讨論詞語本身的意思，外來貨幣不再是單調枯燥的交易。交易本身不應該是激動人心的，但如果交易是你的工作、你的職場、甚至你的生活，為什麼不享受這一過程呢？說實話，你告訴雜貨店的收銀員你“交易越南盾”可比告訴他你“交易外匯”有趣得多。

Should You Be Trading Exotic Currencies?

This question is particularly important for anyone who insists on trading anything but the major currency pairs. For those of you who are unsure as to exactly what constitutes exotic currencies, they are often the ones you never hear about. No one talks about them because they tend to move a lot more, can be more susceptible to change and most likely scares many traders. However, I have a secret for you…exotic currencies shouldn’t scare you. On the contrary, exotic currencies, or exotics tend offer some of the best opportunities in foreign exchange (FX).

Don’t believe me? Well, here are three reasons you should consider adding an exotic currency pair to your watchlist:

1) They are “technically obedient”. What does this mean? This means that if there is a breakout from support or resistance, it’s for real, and you can use the next level of support or resistance for a very high probability target. This regularly is not the case with the majors, which are held hostage by a number of other market forces.

2) They MOVE. As I have alluded to the above, exotic currencies tend to move a lot, which scares people. However, nobody has ever made profits with a stagnated currency pair. For example, if the Turkish lira gives you a trade, it’s going to get down and Boogie. It’s not going to move 10 pips and then stop and reverse.

One important note to make, an exotic currency pair could move 2,000 pips and then stop, stone cold. Why? Because only a small number of banks trade these exotics, so once a move starts, it continues and rumbles along, and once it’s over, there isn’t any other trader out there to reverse it. This is why you get wildly savage trends.

3) Finally, trading exotics is FUN. Apart from the word exotic, which is sure to elicit some vision of a beach in Thailand or palm trees in some picturesque cove, exotic currencies help cut through the monotony of an otherwise moribund trade. As a corollary, trading should not be about excitement, however why not enjoy what you do, especially if this is your job, career, or in some cases life? Truthfully, it is much more fun to tell the cashier at the grocery store that you “trade the dong” than it is to say, “I trade forex.”
