Raise your hand if you ever heard the phrase before? Well, now there is no evidence that this phrase well-worn more than just a meaningless truism: "Royal Bank of Scotland Group index track the performance of the four most popular Forex strategies shows that so-called trend style was best method, returning 7.3% this year until August.
Trend style of trading is also known as the following trends and exactly as it sounds. Traders identify one-sided in particular currency pair (s) and try to ride them as long as possible. In the light of all the large movements in foreign exchange markets this year, it is not surprising that the following trends is the most popular. If you look at 52 week trading range for the six most popular USD currency pairs, you can see the highs and lows often as 20% of each other. EUR/USD pair dropped to 20% in just 7 months. Whoever sold in December 2009 and bought to cover in June 2010, will have earned the equivalent of a 35% without shoulder! Even if you captured only a couple of months amortization would have given the impressive returns.In addition you would have traded euro back from June to August and reaped gets 60% of annual interest rate is the best, and these trends (down then up) were very smoothly, with only minor changes in the way.
I am confident that serious technical analysts rolling their eyes on the graph above, but it's worth, the following point of this trend has never been easier and more profitable than it is now rare. A Fund Manager, the summarized the following trends investor capturing momentum in several major currency moves.You have so much uncertainty in the world at present due to inflation or deflation, which usually does the currency markets and move the interest rates. It's good for followers of the trend, it causes instability, which is usually a good profits. "In other words an occurs on the Forex market at the moment, and this is reflected in the long-term, deep moving currency pairs can change direction without notice to you and still keep the inverse way is just so long. If you think that seems obvious, look at the historical data (5-10 years) for most currency pairs: Although trends have always been the richest, most recently they have longer and became more pronounced.
The other three strategies surveyed by Royal Scotland (RSG) were to trade, Commerce and trade volatility.Unfortunately the data only for trading strategies bear (confusingly called THE RSG volatility strategies) 5.9% a year before the date of the carry trade strategy includes sale of currency with low power and one with a high yield and profit from interest rates. To this strategy will be profitable but long currency must either be or remain unchanged. Thus when the volatility is high – as was the case in the past 2-3 years is a losing strategy.
We can only guess that true volatility strategies might be the second most profitable strategy. This strategy can be implemented through the use of long and short positions on the ground, as well as through the shopping options and other derivatives.Like I said, at the moment there is no shortage of volatility: "after the collapse of Lehman Brothers in 2008, the dollar saw record volatility against the euro … including six moves to at least 10%." for traders who profit from the volatility of the current uncertainty has created an emergency situation.
However, the importance of trade-based frameworks and the concept of Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) – risky and unpopular "volatility also has ensured that may seem a simple bet against the dollar.Three factors tend to move the exchange rate: the rate of growth, the level of debt and interest rates.These standards should drop dollar currencies of emerging market economies and raw. "not only is this not the case, (appetite turned dollar a safe harbour), but even bet on a long-term decline of the dollar is risky as surging. one way to get around this is to trade the dollar index (ETF), which was inherently less volatile (half as volatile, to be exact) than individual currency pairs.
This does not mean that trade is not profitable in the long run. "Empirical evidence suggests that currencies … show trend back to PPPS in the long term ". taking into account the current volatility/uncertainty, however, this strategy is unlikely to be profitable in the short term. Fortunately uncertainty do not deny the possibility, and traders should plot strategies accordingly.
