You have a point; the 10-year bond sunk like a stone today, while the other engine of the USD/JPY carry trade - the DJIA - seems to have stalled (to put it politely). Something to watch is the SPDR's on the Shanghai (GXC); it took a real beating ...

Is This The End of the Yen Carry Trade?

Lol, sorry - I haven't seen a Chuck Norris flick in years, so it took awhile for the humour to sink in.

George Soros is not a trend follower

Check out what he did to the GBP a while back. Chuck Norris would be green with envy.

Sorry, bravado, but FEMA is an entirely made-in-America problem...

USDCAD trend reversal?

Good to see it start hitting 100+ days; maybe the one-way street will come to an end. But right now it feels more like JPY fallout. We'll be heading into the heart of hurricane season soon, maybe that'll spark some more volatility, I kinda miss the ...

USDCAD trend reversal?

I don't know anything about them, so I checked their website. Thir method is basically the same as for any other trend following method: My own POV is that a)You don't need to spend big bucks to do that. b)If you have the self-discipline to follow ...

Lol... For those interested in Buffett, his method is pretty simple - do your research, and buy for value, and dump whatever you buy if it drops more than 10% or so. If you are interested in his trading history, just get the back releases of his ...

What is ur motive sharing ur system?

Because I am, above all things, incredibly lazy. I find it much easier to use my filters and check the charts every couple of hours. Of course that may explain why I'm a few (well, more than a few) orders of magnitude from being a billionaire....

What is ur motive sharing ur system?

I dunno, folks like Warren Buffett and George Soros have done pretty well, and neither of them makes any secret of their methods...

What is ur motive sharing ur system?

A couple of comments on a good post - 1)Learning how to paint badly is very easy. Learning how to paint well is much harder than FX, simply because there are always many more critics than painters, while in FX it's just you and the market... 2)You ...

Difficult FX

For USD/CAD, I think the FA is pretty straightforward; Canada has a slightly lower bank rate, which over the past 5 years has been more than compensated for by the ccy value; it's economy is about 2x as dependent on oil and commodities as the US, ...

USD/CAD towards parity 1/1 ?????

Thanks Jacko; I've been following your thread, as well as comments by a few others, like trader8888, pretty regularly; they're quite intelligent & straightforward! I guess in the long run I look at trading sort of like judging the weather, one can ...

What is ur motive sharing ur system?

The big benefit from posting a system or indicator is simply that it forces one to articulate it - which ideally means looking at it closely. It's no different than any other publication in that respect. As for whether it degrades the value of the ...

What is ur motive sharing ur system?

Fixed to a value relative to another ccy, the way CNY was relative to the USD for a decade, up to two years ago. It's more likely that they will go for a banded (i.e. dirty) float, I would think, before they actually go back to a peg.

Why is NZD so strong??

That's well put; I think of it as trading either reversion to the trend (top & bottom picking) or trading with the trend. AFAICS both work.....

There's only two ways to trade.

Anyone here an expert on the Average True Range? I've been playing around with it, and curiously when you look at something like longer averaging periods (say, several weeks) this pair is down to levels it hasn't seen since early 2002. Now sharp ...

fxsaviour - thanks, I for one intend to keep on reading as you post these..they're great little stories. I'v been in & out of the risky investment area since the mid sixties - my first venture being (on the advice of my grandmother) putting money ...

Proposed NFA Capital Requirement

The big problem with the random entry/exit argument is everyone is comparing apples and oranges. In the random entry, planned exit, your exit is based on your entry conditions. If you want a fair game for comparison, you have to select your random ...

Exits: Our worst enemy

They acquired CFG Trading? Don Snellgrove's company? if so, uh-oh...Or a different CFG?

Proposed NFA Capital Requirement

Well fxsaviour, I know you are getting trashed, but still I would like to thank you for bringing this issue up. I also commend you for handling some pretty silly attacks in a reasonable way, and generally sticking to the issue of viability with ...
