Okay..

here is something whcih i found out on the website the other day the reason I started this thread cos I was confuse how is that possible. I would greatly appreciate it if u can give your opinion about it since u are much more expereinced.


''Get $500.00 to $600.00 per 100k lot per month just for holding the GBP/JPY and hedge it with a short position in the same pair intrest free with a second broker. I am using oanda.com to hold the long position. See the link below to see which broker you can use to go short interest free.
Note that you can start this strategy with $200 if you use oanda.com to go long GBP/JPY and use MA to go short GPB/JPY. You would put $100 with oanda.com and $100 with MV (see link below). ''
 
I ran into a guy this evening who talked about FX Trainer.
What is that? It sounded like a pyramid scheme. Does anyone have info or insight on it?

He proceeded to say he was giving seminars in two different states-- which made me think: when does he have time to trade?

Any thoughts will be appreciated.

Why not just buy the GBP/JPY when it's low like I do and hold on to it. Check out the chart. It's not too hard to determine

If it was that easy to figure out, the last thing you'd care about is a measly few pips every week :)
 
Some time ago I also thought about this possibility (long GBPJPY, USDJPY or even AUDJPY and short it on another broker). It seemed great and risk-free. And it actually is, but to get a profit of just 20% per year you need to leverage at least 4:1 (actually 8:1 if you split the money equally between two brokers). And with such a leverage it's quite easy to get a margin call especially with such a pair as GBPJPY.

So you either need to put in much more money (and get much less percentage gain) or frequently and fast add more money to the losing side or close both positions and move some funds from one winning broker to losing and open again.

In either case there are a lot of additional fees added (transaction charges etc.). So it makes sence if you a) satisfied with a modest gain (maybe 10-15% per year) or b) have a lot of money what allows you to open big positions that easily cover all transaction costs.

So in my opinion it's definately a way to make money, but not a Holy Grail of course. You can just as easily sell gold (or any other good for this kind of spread) future and buy gold (or anything else also) spot to get your 15% per annum the same way. And commodities are known to move much slower than currencies, so less need to add money to losing side etc.

Just my opinion about this strategy.
 
Marketiva, a FX company located in Switzerland doesn't require any interest, I guess. You don't receive any interest either though.

So you can sell one pair which has negative interest and buy the same pair on normal FX compnay at the same price, technically you can get that interest with no risk.
 
What risks arise from (1) sending your money to Marketiva, and (2) buying or selling currency quotes it sends to its customers' PCs? I assume you've looked into those questions.

Whatever the company outside U.S contains huge risks about redeeming funds. It is especially for forex brokers , better say forex market makers or bucketshops. Be careful about scammers.
And remember there is no free lunch. If so, how do you know it is poison-free ?
