对于那些不喜欢交易主要货币对的人来说，这个问题至关重要。你可能不了解外来货币的构成，有些货币对，你甚至从来都没听说过。没人谈论他们可能是因为它们的波动太大，太容易受影响，所以交易员都被吓跑了。但我要告诉你一个秘密…外来货币不会吓到你。与之相反，外来货币会能给你带来最好的外汇交易机会。
你不相信？没关系，我来告诉你要考虑外来货币对的三个原因：
1.从技术上来讲，它们是很“顺从”的。什么意思？就是说，如果它真的突破了支撑位或阻力位，那它就是突破了，接下来你就可以考虑下一个支撑位或阻力位了。主要货币对却不会遵守这个规律，它们会受到各种市场力量的影响。
2.它们会移动。上文提到，外来货币波动范围很大，很吓人。但是停滞不前、没有波动的货币对是赚不到钱的。举例来讲，如果你卖出了土耳其里拉，那么它会下降并波动，它不会移动10个然后就停在那里不动了。
有一点很重要，外来货币对可能会移动2,000点，然后停下来，这太凶猛了。为什么会这样？因为只有一小部分银行会交易这些货币，所以一旦开始移动，就会一动到底，同样的，一旦移动停止，谁也不能扭转这个局势。所以外来货币对的走势会这么凶猛狂野。
3.最后，交易外来货币很有趣。一提起“外来（异国）”这个词，你的第一印象也许是泰国的海滩，或是美丽港湾边的几棵棕榈树，我们不讨论词语本身的意思，外来货币不再是单调枯燥的交易。交易本身不应该是激动人心的，但如果交易是你的工作、你的职场、甚至你的生活，为什么不享受这一过程呢？说实话，你告诉杂货店的收银员你“交易越南盾”可比告诉他你“交易外汇”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.”
