anybody doing carry trades these days

Yep. Using the USD as a funding currency.

I am. Tho, doing it with tight sl. (usually 30 pips fixed, might widen when volatility is high.) So, trying to identify a nation with strong economy and hawkish outlook + high interest rate and combine it with country which economy is opposite and low interest rate. When this is done, i will buy dips using tl, candlestick, fib, etc. tools i have in my toolbox. Entries based mostly on 1h chart, and using "oh shit" scenario tps. (Meaning that i am usually setting my tp above current price by some 300 pips or so.) This is only because i do not want to miss that beautiful pinbar when it happens on direction which is beneficial to me.

So, if nothing special happens, i will just trace those trades that survived in daily chart, or wait for shift in economy outlook. Usually my r/r is way above 1/10 + interest that has been collected along the way. That being said, allso my hitrate is far below 50/50 meaning i will collect quite a few of those trades that will hit my 30 pips sl. Just have to live with it and move on as this happens. I am allso quite eager to move sl to b/e when price has moved away from my entry by wave or two in hourly chart.

i see carry trades are a live and well

look like trend trading is very big at the moment

most position traders go thru large drawdowns and there trades can takes month or even years to develop

I have carry trades and no TP and SL

you carry trade with no t/p

scratch the TP

More than one or all of the above would be discretionary trader.
