USD/RUB? Anybody Tried?

[fxeconomist 11]

Recently the interest sparked to emerging markets like Turkey or Russia, in connection with this I would like to hear any opinions on trading with USD/RUB or USD/TRY. Thankfully have these pairs on Hotforex with quite competitive spreads, but heard they may experience severe lack of liquidity sometimes. Is it true?

Any information relevant to my inquiry is much appreciated.

Never tried it, even some of broker i use , like Instaforex , Tickmill and FXPrimus,provide this trading instrument, and any other exotic like TRY,ZAR,DKK, PLN, MXN,HUF, etc

and i know not all of brokers can provide this instrument,

 

and i wont try any unfamiliar instrument, i mean even Tickmill provide low spreads with this instrument, but i dont know how to count its dollar per pip value for every one lot.

 

so in my opinion i better stick with familiar instrument

 

anyway if you wanna use USD/RUB for carry trade, i suggest u use USD/HKD than USD/RUB

because Hongkong Bank keep USD/HKD in range

So the only confusion is with calculation? What about predictability of USD/RUB I mean it's very Oil dependent and Russian CB decisions too.
