How to trade forex cross pairs

Many banks and futures commission merchants (FCMs) made it possible for investors with a few thousand dollars to trade their accounts by offering electronic trading platforms with multiple currency crosses. The currency markets are not linear. Crosses of the U.S. dollar vs. major currencies are certainly an intricate, most liquid, very important component of the forex markets, but many other pairs offer great opportunities, if one understands their response, and their behavior in relation to different multiple events taking place continuously within the global financial markets. There has never been a time in recent financial history when equities, bonds, commodities and currencies have been so intertwined and accessible with the Internet, allowing the traders to react to markets with one click of a mouse.

Many traders exclusively trade U.S. dollar versus G-7 currencies, and by this not only give up many opportunities in other crosses, but limit their playing field.
