Japan got into the lowered interest rates sometime back, in order to bail out fo a mortgage crisis like the one the US is currently involved in. They like to keep their currency de-valued to promote their export based ecomomy. Right now, Japan is ...

My experience with Carry Trades Is: The carry trades will follow DIJA sometimes -- sometimes not. It seems like they correlate with one ecconomic indicator for a while, then another. They are also somewhat seasonal, as you well know. For a while ...

The Yen pairs are ALWAYS in the buy mode -- MOST OF THE TIME. But 2 times a year, the pairs will "unwind" (carry trade unwind) in a deep market correction. This occurs right after Jan 1 or so, and also at the end of June or in July. Example: Last ...

Sorry, Tahshoon.. NO intent to offend or suggest any taking of sides in this matter. The market is open now, so it looks like both trades did spike up just on rumor, during the w/e. EUR/JPY falling rapidly for the moment. EUR/USD still up. For now.

No, I was dead serious. Should I make it like a pirate hat? Would either of my trades have spiked? If so - in which direction? I assume Joe B is saying long for EUR/USD -- same for EUR/JPY?

Thanks very much for your serious and thoughtful reply. I am fashioning my hat as we speak.

Are you making fun of me? I just wanted to know if my EUR/USD would have gone a lot higher. Also was long on EUR/JPY since around 3/20 and was at 152.11.

Yeah, me too. I really hope though that we do get a good unwind so I can get back in at a low price as soon as it's over.

Okay, I didn't see that one. That's because I was trading with the trend of a really deep unwind.

I've been day trading about a year to date. I have trades all major pairs except Aussies going on paper 24-7 (make that 24 - 5 1/2!) while I trade live. I trade STRICTLY with the trends and let all my paper trades run their course. Since I ALWAYS ...

Sucky trade days — My idea of a bad day to trade is when none of the trends look stong. This is usually going to mean a carry trade unwind. If the market stops it could be a small dip -- or due to somehthing else. If the trends just look kinda ...

What goes up/down must go down/up — I've never seen a spike that didn't correct itself within a day or two -- or three. They are virtually always based on news. Remember last Thanksgiving when gbp/jpy went berserk?

Carry trade upsets whole market — Take it from a newbie type person who lost her whole first 3 mo of profit on carry trade unwinds: The unwinds affect the whole market: They tend to artificially de-value EUR, GBP, and NZD -- because they are ...

What about volitility? — If the BOJ finally does (at some point) raise interest rates high enough to end the carry trade, would that affect overall market volitilty over time? I'm wondering if a move like that could slow the whole market down ...
