    HFT strategies for FX - anyone ?

    Nice, ... just one thing you're missing is that not only HFT trade on order imbalance but also on macro info. They make more money with macro info though lol

    Turveyd, why do you trade USDJPY most of time? I think euro is more predictable though...

    GBP

    I think eurusd has appreciated so much last week. Time to depreciate. Since GBP has high correlation with eur, GBP will depreciate too?

    Stop Loss

    Once you identify the current trend, you can calculate the midpoint of high and low. Set the stop loss at midpoint. Alternatively, once you know the current trend, set the stop loss just above the long term MA.

    Need somewhere to think out loud,

    . I feel elite forum is more home. People here are more friendly and experienced but you get more passion when there are more people... I guess. Anyway, I am an academia so I eventually understand how market works. Are you seeing any blondies lately?

    USD index

    Given that euro is at their intrinsic value and also there is the French election on Sunday, I expect euro to depreciate substantially either today or tomorrow. One thing for sure is euro will not appreciate much more at the current price level again because its at its intrinsic level and there...

    USD index

    Following Doggy's question, I also wonder the benefit of this method because unless you earn interest, I think it's not easy to make huge profit unless you have banked a huge amount of money in your account...

    what are the two worst things a trader can do?

    No retail traders talk about hedging because stop loss is all they know. I teach derivative instruments and when you study market system over 10,000 hours, then you understand how market system operates and how to hedge price/interest risk better than those who never really study

    Donald Trump drops strong US dollar policy

    Sorry ZZZ :) I know HK has been using the fixed exchange rate for last 30 years but they survived Asian crisis when the other tigers like Korea and Thailand collapsed. HK business people are smart enough to overcome foreign exchange risk :)

    what are the two worst things a trader can do?

    1) no hedging - stop loss isn't an optimal hedging. People who use stop loss can only make break-even at best. When you hedge price risk, it means your position is 'safe' regardless of price fluctuation. So definitely stop loss is not a hedging because when price hit it, you position will be...

    Donald Trump drops strong US dollar policy

    Who cares whether US dollar is strong or weak. All speculators want to know is whether one currency is under or overvalued relative to another and take the advantage of the arbitrage opportunity ...

    Triangular arbitrage

    That's not an arbitrage. It's assuming that there is no arbitrage :) To make a profit, one needs to buy low and sell high but this isn't taking the advantage of an arbitrage condition. This is just making a profit through spread. To take the advantage of arbitrage opportunity, one needs to know...

    Newbie macroeconomic question to anyone knowledgeable

    If you want to know the cause of correlation then blame the globalisation. Globalisation is the cause of the substantial growth in international trade and foreign investment.

    USD index

    Euro doesn't look good today. Volatility has fallen, suggesting that price will go through some congestion for a while. May not trade today I would consider a buy iff euro depreciates below 1.06330 The current price is too high given forward rate. There is only 48% (below 50%) of chance that...
