Don't be apologetic for being monogamous -- let the hotshots play with multiple currency pairs. Its OK to look for long-term opportunities w.r.t. major trend changes in various pairs -- but this can be done once a week or once per month by eyeballing weekly/monthly charts of several currency pairs.

But for your bread and butter stay focused on just ONE pair and learn it well, its character, its nature, idiosyncrasies etc.

My personal rec is Eur/Usd; an alt. rec is Usd/Jpy, especially now with US Interest rates leaving those of Japan in the dust.

There you have it, a wife and if you so desire, a mistress.

If you get to know one or both well, you will never ever hear the dreaded, "we've got to talk" drivel again.

Don't give up too easily; Forex is a godsend.
