I said that in order to get advice on more exotic currency hedges as well. (looking to places as far as south east asia)

Thats why I need to hedge. :)

Thanks for the replies! I didn't reveal the "foreign country" because I wanted to see what the general advice was like before receiving specific advice. To make the picture clearer: I am going to buy real estate in Australia. AUD/USD is a liquid pair with tight spread for FX brokers, but...

Suppose I am an US citizen who is investing US$200,000 for the long run in a foreign country. This investment is made in the currency of the foreign country and thus I have to convert the $200k into foreign dollars. In around 5 years' time, I want to liquidate the investment and convert the...

if u hit your max risk of -$700, that would possibly wipe out all the small profits you made throughout the year won't it? i wonder if the max risk in either direction gets hit a lot historically to make this strategy not worthwhile anymore. Hmmm....

Hammers can easily be backtested by people who own backtesting software and has some coding skill. Anyone tried? (i posses none)

After a couple of years of 25% recorded returns you'll start to attract investors.

In other words making 25% annually can make you one of the richest man in the world.

Anyone tried trading the Real Exchange Rates (taking into consideration price levels in the two countries) instead of Nominal Exchange Rates?

FYI 90 percent of traders lose was derived from 3 census survey done one London Stock Exchange, Taiwan Stock Exchange and a Brokerage in the States which I forgot the name to. ( : P ) A census, being complete enumeration of all the members in a sample space, has zero sampling error.

As a junior statiscian myself I have to say the obvious: The way this study is conducted will result in a huge amount of sampling error and sample biasness. All the best to you nonetheless.

davewtrader : very funny post lol. (i feel ashame laughing at that joke though :( ) I saw your thread on NuclearPhynance where you said your "system" (or so to speak) takes in 5 mins of past data and forecasts the next 1 tick. Is that right? Two thoughts in my mind right now: 1) If you can...
