I'm not ready to die yet! I gotta keep my mind nimble.

Quote from jerryz:

i am asking because i am curious. sometimes i wonder if traders/investors who accumulated $2 million should just stop and retire and not deal with the crap anymore. put the $2 mil in a diversified corporate bond fund and earn 5% interest on average which equates to $100,000 a year. some may say that's setting your goals too low, but it's not a bad living and you have complete peace of mind and you are happy.

you may have lost millions before, but i think it's great that you pursued your dreams and goals. that's more than a lot of other people can say they've accomplished.

Subsecond,

Thanks for great info. However, I can't see the links or they are in German or whatever language that is. Can you include correlation in your excel chart ? Also, Can you please explain the tunnel method in less than 50 words?

(I know some people might want to just focus on money mgmt and not trade much. But, I will not stop at money mgmt and go further and use my trading skills. But thats me. Not you :) )

Hallo,

one pair should be USD positive and EUR negative.
I use EUR/USD and/or USD/CHF for this purpose.

I traded last week AUD/JPY, GBP/CHF and the above pairs.

I checked NZD/USD in terms of correlation at

http://www.mataf.net/en/analysis-correlation.htm.

The correlation of NZD/USD is high with EUR/USD and GPD/USD.
In some market situations one needs a pair with strong correlation against USD.

In the
http://www.forexnews.com/forum/forum.asp
the tunnel method was proposed. This fits excellent as a risk tool for the pairs. The tunnel check result in

AUD/JPY long --- positiv interest
GBP/CHF long ----positiv interest
USD/CHF long ----positiv interest
EUR/USD short ----positiv interest
NZD/USD short ----negativinterest

Thanks ElectricSavant for your and Wifeys work.
The interestcow is helped me a lot. I followed You discussions in the "my latest strategy forum".
Thanks Murty for presenting the modell in code language.

Looking forward to improve my version of the the cash and carry model.

Here is the new spreadsheet that I am building for the new Journal and the new pair (NZD/USD).

If there are any suggestions please share

It is not finished yet, and disregard the values as they are bogus, I am working with the cells.

Double wide increments are used and trading in one account.

In the interest cow xcel chart, how is APR calculated and why do I think the APR column is incorrect. Sorry If I am missing something simple...but oh well I have stomach for embarassment.

For example: row for USD/JPY:
investment: 200, Interest: 261.50, APR: 65.38 ? :confused:
