Trading cross-currency pairs requires a slightly different approach than trading major currency pairs. They are typically less liquid and more volatile, which can increase the potential for profits but also increase the risk of losses. As a beginner trader, it is important to take this into consideration and thoroughly analyze the market before making any trades.
