Thread: Anyone trade slower pairs?

Howdy all,

In a few short months I will be leaving my current life for many months. It got me thinking about investing into a currency to let ride for long amounts of time since I will not be at a computer every day. Does anybody else here have some success?

Any suggestions that currencies would work nicely? Do you trade contrary to the interest if you're in a trade for weeks/months? Look forward to discussing consistent expansion.

I will provide an example. USD/THB, although a exotic I presume, has been for years in a downtrend. Its low broke from 1998 after the rally in 1997. Although there are rallies for many weeks and there, without throwing too much of your account at the transaction you need to have the ability to survive them. This pair is slow in volatility and the wide spread means you'll be in the red for a while these last few weeks although it has been picking up steam. I'm not sure what the interest is similar to on this pair, however if it favors the short I think it's a good play.

Everybody else out there tired of trying to forecast the volatility of gbp/usd every week? Matt

I dont do it but have considered it. I wouldn't trade this way against carry interest, only an advantage you may be giving up. Would look for long term technical setups in line with carry interest.

I am thinking of doing this. Slow growth pairs provided that I am on the fantastic side of interest. Anyone know where I can get a listing of all currencies using their individual interest rates?

GFT includes a listing of rollover prices. They do not show the rates, instead they show you exactly what price it changes to after the interest rollover. Confusing. Anyone know how I'd be able to compute from this because they reveal each of the pairs?

Try out audusd

Whats the interest on that? If it had been favoring the short I would take it. It is at a common resistance place that it has bounced off of many times. If we presume that a currency can not go up or down indefinitely because countries will not allow their currencies to become to undervalued, then now would be a prime moment to short AUD/USD imo.

But that needs confirmation. I'd rather see something similar to USD/THB which has been downtrending for decades. Why it burst back in 1997, I'd love to see. Can it be led back to those levels? It is picking up southern steam.

Still another member on here that link.

AUD is 6.25% and USD is 5.25%. So going brief could be contrary to the interest right? You'd be promoting the AUD to buy USD and therefore losing 1%.

It doesn't have Thailands interest rate. If shorting THB is a trade concerning interest Can not tell. I presume it would not be considering that the interest rates of Korea, Singapore, Taiwan, and Japan. Although the phillippines is quite healthy. Not certain. Matt

Didn't someone post that NZ wants their dollar to fall. And JPY doesn't appear to mind.
Remember studying the kiwi dollar ought to move to 40 cents from I forget that. Among the NZ coverage individuals. On CNBCW a analyst tonight said he sees ozzie/dollar at 70cents.

I look into it and there, slower pairs. I am hoping to locate a fantastic trend that is long term, 1h to daily and perform a method with that. I guess NZD does that with a lower spread than exotics.
Should you get anywhere, let us know!

Is not EUR/GBP the father of pairs?

Hello

Interbank-Fx posts swap rates. I really don't know if they're particular to IBfx as to appreciate but well there you go. I know so I check their website frequently they change from time to time, here is the url to get there.

I position trade as well and what I can recomend is Check the long-term tendencies, weeks and months additionally assess the average true range and typical drawdown on the day chart and definately, DEFINATELY trade WITH the swap. You might check the ATR and MAX drawdown as well simply to make sure you have the margin to keep in for a long time.

In long-term position trading recall.

The Trend May Be Your Buddy However, The Change is Your Lover

Hope this helps

I wouldn't state eur/gbp is slow. Studying a chart shows plenty of volatility where the noise from week to week is all about 100-300 pips.
