You make your money with the up and down movement of the currencies.
If the currency do not move up and down frequently, you have
less opportunity of making money.
You
will also note that the spread
on these major pairs is much lower than on less popular pairs.
Example: The spread on EUR/USD is between 1.5 and 3 pips. The
spread on USD/ZAR is about 60 pips. (click
here to see what the spread is). By the way, Oanda do offer
the USD/ZAR currency pair, not all brokers do.
