This post is about the sixth sense: "your gut", or whatever else you may call it.
I wonder if other traders experience the feeling I'm talking about. I've only recently realized it more when I focus on a pair that is involved in the country I reside. So for instance, I am American, therefore I am more in touch with America, the economy, and FEELINGS of the country (I know what it feels like to be American). Could these feelings be my so called "gut"? I believe they are, and that is why they are accurate as often as they are. BTW, I only trade EUR/USD now because of this connection.
I think others feel the same way, but I'm not sure I've heard anyone say it like this. Your gut instincts are better when you live in a country that you trade.
Can anyone relate or am I just weird?
On the other side of the problem, we have the theory that living in a country and trading its currency may create a bias and cloud one's judgment. I'm sure there could be some that would think in this way.
My opinion is for the first part of the post, however.
