Oh, my post was not directed at anyone or post, it just my own opinion. I use charts myself, so technical trading is great for timing. If there are no overwhelming fundamental forces, then technical will be dominant in price movement. But when the Central Bank is actively participating to...

Ummm...yeah, that is the strategy. If it goes up, buy. I definitely want to get in on that deal. Kuroda is going to run the BOJ, and Abe is going to run the government. Both are doves and in favor of massive QE. This is like the holy trinity of yen diluting. Currency moves are dictated...

Leverage. Trends tend to be slightly longer than equities. Fundamental edge can be gained from macroeconomic results. Positive interest swaps. Correlations. All of the above can be used to your advantage if you know what you are doing. So if you know what you are doing, the...

This is not a shot at you or your trades because everyone trades differently. But I've done the same things you are doing, and it is a tough way to trade. It is great for people who likes slow pain. I prefer to just let price tell me that it is going down first before I go into a trade...

I knew it was going to be a problem when they announced Iphone 5S coming out so soon. And then I saw all the kids with Samsung and Nexus smartphones at a fraction of the price. I think Samsung Galaxy III was like $50 with contract, and Nexus 4 for under $200 without contract. And if the kids...

SNB didn't just stood there. They intervened heavily in the forex market. They took on hundreds of billions of Euros to defend that floor. They actually need to sell these Euros now that the price is going back up, or at least convert to something else. SNB need to unwind their Euro reserves...

^ So which one are you? Malcontent or Crazies? :)

Do you read the news?

The peg was only to the down side of EURCHF @ 1.20. The peg held. The Swiss doesn't care if the EURCHF goes higher, they welcome it because then they would not need to defend their peg.

Nice Arb.

The peg didn't break at all.

Everyone just chill and relax. Sit back and watch the show. I knew of someone that turned $500 to $15K in one day, pyramiding on a monster trend. So what if he lose $700, the worse is that he gets a job, and make that back in a month. It's actually easier to trade when you have $700, you...

If there is profit to be made, of course I would lease it. But that all depends on what type of strategy is used, the liquidity it can handle, and of course profitability. The client would probably want to see some records to make sure everything works. Backtest is usually not preferred...

I have a strategy that uses the natural correlation between certain pairs as well. But the volatility has just dried up in recent year, so that strategy hasn't worked out as well as I had liked. Obviously, I can still trade them by lowering the correlation, but if the volatility ever picks...

^ Is that some type of edge? Are you trying those in pairs? Or are you entering thos 4 pairs at the same time? I've done both types of trading, the directional trade is definitely much more profitable.

Lescor, You burning the candle until the very end of the year? Hmmm, it would be tempting to shut it down, drink some hot coco in the cold winter night, and spend time with family. You have yourself a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

You can't really call yourself a trader if you can't even tell if someone is a trader by looking at what they are doing. She is obviously trading, and having a normal life. She is hilarious, and somewhat crazy. Well, all cat ladies are crazy. LOL. =) She seems like a lovely and honest...

^ :D I had a chuckle at that one.

It has always been this way. USD is the reserve currency, and has the biggest economy. Right now, it is all about risk on or off scenarios.
