Long-term, expect the US dollar to fall a little more as the Fed will be under pressure to ease rates by the end of this year or early next year.

The Euro probably has the most to gain over the year with expected strong growth in Europe and the specter of inflation pressuring the ECB to keep tightening rates.

You may want to start by reading Jacko's journal in the journal section. A trend following method that will give you an idea on how to go about putting your own system together.
Read Michael Covel's "Trend Following" - probably a copy at your local library.
Good Luck
In trading, there is no bullshit. You either make money or you don't.

Draw good trend lines and look for patterns on daily and weekly charts. Use big stops. 1000-2000 pips.

Hi, I am a new live trader and employed "Global Macro" when using a demo account for 1-2 years.

In the demo of 50k starting capital it performed well due to a larger cushion however when I started live with a capital of 2000, my low amount of capital didn't permit me to utilize it effectively as it takes on a lot of risk and is nearing "speculation" backed by economic fundamentals.

Maybe I am doing it wrong, criticism is welcome.

USD is bound to take a hit and expect the same for Euro though I should point out a lot of traders thought Euro was going to take a dive and now, we all feel like idiots.

That is why i keep telling newbies to demo trade with the exact amount they are willing to start a live account,so that they can do the risk or money management and also calculate the right position size that keeps them in their comfort zone...

Yeah, I learnt my lesson albeit the hard way when I found out my capital couldn't take the day to day fluctuations.

Would you recommend taking medium-long term trades or short term trades with a 2 grand capital? Risk tolerance is about 10%.

Yes, I am doing 10% risk per trade. No day trading at all for me, though I am considering it now(with 2% risk) since undercapitalization is eating up my appetite for daily volatility.

So the 10% risk was for real? Actually, think you are one of the few who actually fessed up to a high risk % in this forum. So what's your strategy, since day trading is out for the moment? And on daily trading, yes you will need to whittle down the risk to 2%..

Yeah, I feel being honest is a good way to get constructive input from other traders to improve my game plan.

It is very fundamentally based and changes with the global outlook. Focusing on fiscal policies of the different countries and comparing them with the economic climate before attempting to rationalize the general flow of money.

I am considering day trading now and tweaking my strategy as you have pointed out that I should have started demo-ing with the amount I was going to actually trade live with.

Better late than never and on fundamentals, though not many traders may not say so right away, the fact is that nearly all traders except for a select few tend to think "fundamentally"..you really cannot help it especially when you catch a news breaking on the telly.
But on the downside, trends based on fundamentals do not happen right way [re:Euro]. Yeah, thought it was headed into the basement and what do you know, it shot up..*sigh*
