How are you trading with the eurchf holding at or under 1.5100? Does that change your premise? I'm long just above this level.

I usually do. However, with the pair having been trading in such a tight range I've lowered the amount of divergence I look for before opening a position, as well as how much profit to wait for prior to exit. I decided it was worth a slight increase ...

Still making profitable trades. Holding 3 long positions now.

I was looking at position size similar to any other trading strategy, as in a certain percentage of total assets. However, since I don't use stops total loss was not a part of the equation, instead I calculated how much margin was required for each ...

Agreed. I continue to trade this strategy, using the eur/chf directly, profitably. Probably the main lesson learned after the SNB madness that started in March was position sizing. Initially I was taking too large a position each time so when ...

Very interesting. Signing up.

Holding 2 long positions, 1.5193 from Monday and 1.5158 from yesterday.

Thanks.

1. yes 2. lack of confidence. Our perception of future values has changed. Over the recent past we've been conditioned to believe that home values increase at a given rate per year. This is a logical error, one that took us all by surprise. My ...

I believe that they define the ownership of the property as the individual home owner, however I think its a joke since you have to pay taxes each year or it will be taken from you and sold for the small outstanding tax balance. Seems more like rent ...

Most of the time that is true. However, if you demo or trade this for a while you'll notice that there are instances where the "hedge" as its referred to in this thread doesn't move exactly in tune with the "cross". Sometimes the E/C will only move ...

I think it comes down to the definition of wealth. The example already given of home price depreciation is based on an opinion or expectation of wealth, the home's value. Warren Buffet is one of the wealthiest people in the world because of the ...

Anyone taking trades over the past 2 weeks? I just got my account switched over so I'll be up and running at the open on Sunday.

Do time zones impact strategy — Acumen, Thanks for all of your input. I noticed that my broker is on a different time zone than yours, and as such the FXI Pivots indicator you posted updates later. Here is a chart of mine to compare with your ...

This is a very interesting breakout trading strategy. Signing up.

Yep. Have any experience with them?

Thanks for your contributions. What are information are you using to determine that it might now be a good time to sell on positive divergence? Do the previous intervention highs of, approximately, 1.5380 and 1.5450 look like sufficient resistance?

Deutsche Bank.

Closed my last long position and am now all cash. My initial reaction to the recent movement up would be to open my first short position, but I'm switching brokers to avoid the FIFO rule here in the U.S. so I wont be opening trades until that is ...

I opened this long back on June 26th.
