Euro vs Yen

I’ve been practice trading with EURJPY currency pair. I don’t really have a reason for choosing to focus on the euro and the yen. I know that’s a good indication that I’m not ready to trade for real yet. If I can’t answer the question of why I’m focussed on one currency pair over another then I still have some learning to do. Last week I was working with the USDCAD currency pair. I chose that pair because of my familiarity with the US dollar; but I decided to try something else and picked EURJPY at random. Here’s a record from yesterday’s performance. As you can see I have less in my account at this point than I started with.
