Hi Dreamliner
I read the Knightrider idea in the Oanda forum...I see you added a twist to the original system with the 10 pip TP rule....carry start at 200 pip minus.

How about, you open 2 positions: EURUSD and USDCHF , which are almost exacly opposite...(Hedge)
As the martket swings 1000 or 2000 pips in either direction you keep on averaging as soon as it turns your way...on that pair....you collect your money.
Knightrider is making $, but some folks did their homework and tested back some 10 years...they found a negative swing of 2500 pips a few years back, which could have potentially margined the account.

Hedging with 2 pairs, you are basically going nowhere, BUT, you cash profits on swings down and up..and there´s no margin call danger...cause say EURUSD keeps going down, you keep cashing 100 pips or so profits on USDCHF...sooner or later EURUSD will come back enough to recover the majour negative, and you already cashed all those USDCHF winners.
Only disadvantage: you loose the advantage of interest...cause one of them is negative...

Hi dreamliner,

Just wanted to tell you that your thread inspired me to make another strategy I have called 100$ trading. As soon as I can start a thread I will exaplain.

Thank you.

No, there are even some new !
Just waiting to be able to open my own thread "100$ trading" and explain all about it.

i'll be waiting....

but not dead and up 3.2% for the month on that guppy

Hi Holypendant,

I strated my thread 100$ Trading maybe you would have a look at it.

Regards.

Just curious if anyone still carry trades? This article jolted my memory of 2007/08

I remember that period, lot of trading threads were going on about carry trading and carry trading systems. Some people were getting very rich during that time but I doubt many kept the profits when the market crashed.

Did you participate in the carry trade "madness" during 2006/07/08?

Do you carry trade? If yes what pair/strategy?

Hi,

I am still using this method with my own style. I will always keep 1000 pips as cushion for every open position at any point of time. I am trading with AUD/JPY. If the usable margin falls below 95% immediately I will make the payment by using credit card. However, carry trade is not attractive like earlier days...
