Hong Kong Dollar is pegged to USD.

its math power isn't exactly wasted if you have complex statistical based strategies or even just pricing a fixed income instrument, such as a leveraged swap. However, this gives rise to a paradox: it is useful for complex, high frequency strategies that require computing power, but because it...

We could argue that a upward trend in prices is due to a macro increase in demand. That is, when you are following a "trend", you are actually predicting that the demand for the security will increase/supply will decrease. Therefore, while "trends" might or might not be real, a macro increase...

want to see a trend line? look at the daily chart of the eur/usd since jan 2002. see when it breaks? short. i don't think i can find a more clearly defined trendline. also, when a trendline such as this breaks, i can't find a better example of going in the direction of the break!
