The magnitude of the volume of transactions that occur on the London session, resulting in a large number of liquidity during the European session, so that we can use any pair.

But to be safe, it is better we use pair-pair mayor: EUR/USD, GBP/USD, USD/JPY, and USD/CHF. Because only the pair that has spread most stringent. And only those who will be directly affected by any news that appears in the European session.

Or, if you want a little variety, we can use the Yen Japan and "gave him" with European currencies (for example the EUR/JPY and GBP/JPY), because the currency is quite volatile at this session. However, the disadvantage is, since we're using cross pairs, spread that appears to be quite wide.
