do you really say that seriously ? dollar attractive at 0% ?
of course all the world will be watching closely what happens with euro rates next moneth... but I don't think it is going to go to 0% so.. in the worst case euro is still more attractive in my humble opinion... Maybe you know something more to say dollar is still attractive.
Some people do not base their decision solely on fundamentals, so yes the dollar can still be attractive at 0.

I agree. In fact, I believe if the dollar ever got to "zero" it would become the most coveted commodity EVER!........buy low, sell high.

IMHO trading currencies is not about trying to figure out what the fair values are.....that is all BS. The big money boys, the Central Bank traders and large Hedge fund traders have to make their allotment of profits weekly. So they will MOVE the PA to do so.......irregardless of "fair values". And THAT is the ONLY REAL FUNDAMENTAL in this business.
yes, but the point being is that they are the ones truly deciding the going rate.

if you start with 2000 in any currency and make 2% per day constantly compounding, within 4 years you will have almost 900 billion

if you make 5% per day you will have 87 trillion in just 2 years time and after 16 years you will have 12,749,734,548,985,100,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000.00


compounding and patience is the way

Not that unfortunate. If it was realistic, everybody would be a gazillionaire and a pint of milk would cost $50,000.

Well everyone is not equal, so some would still be outperforming others (and able to afford $50,000 milk). Although it would be difficult carrying all that money(assuming cash would still exist, and 100 dollar bills would still be max).

I think the part missing is the rule of diminishing returns. Most brokers limit lot sizes on larger accounts. You would have to divide the money among several brokers and do equally well on each account. Although the math may be accurate, the reality is that most brokers will only let you progress so far before their rules limit your returns.

i played it like it was thansgiving week all over again.. first locked in profit and doubled normal position then locked profit in again an doubled that position 4X.. then added 2 more to 6 times nomal position... at this point profit was locked in at 10 pips X 6 normal positions..then moved sl and tp down as it moved.. bailed at 4900 and my original position was over 800 up... my account better then doubled.. my original position was a scalp position. (larger then normal) i got nervous because of the movement and did nothing but watch screen till i bailed out.. its screwing my trading up today.. it might need to take a day off. lost 12 pips on first trade today because of stupidity... oh well... last week was good to me... the whole week was good... even my uj long pair made money

Glad to hear that, my return from last week was my biggest yet, one account was up 119 percent and the other 134 percent. Gotta love volatility since it allows you to make money even with few lots.
