| | Foreign Exchange Swaps - Calculating Interest On Forex Trades | | 2008-08-22 09:27:29 | | One of the beauties of Forex trading lies in the ability to trade using leverage, which is often as high as 1,000 times your capital. In other words, you can effectively borrow up to 1,000 times your capital in order to trade. But borrowing money to trade is no different to borrowing money for any other purpose and you will be charged interest.However, because every transaction involves both buying and selling currency, interest payments payable on money borrowed to fund a transaction can be offset by interest earned on the currency held. If this seems a little confusing we'll look at an example in a moment, but first it is worth just taking a moment to examine the subject of interest rates in general to see the wider picture as it affects the Forex market.These are established by central banks and are used to regulate a currency in order to meet a country's monetary policy. Interest rates directly affect the cost of a currency with high interest rates making it expensive to buy a curr... | | By: forex | | |

| | Yen Carry Trades to Recover | | 2008-08-14 06:05:00 | | FX players are tip toeing back into the Antipodean Yen crosses after yesterday's madness and a steep decline which kicked off 3 weeks ago. Technically, carry trades are looking well oversold, and appear ripe for a major correction. In particular, the sell off in the AUD/YEN is looking exhaustive after losing 10% on Wednesday from its July peak. As a whole, the Aussie has already aggressively front loaded expectations for Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) cuts and risks to be more surprised if the central bank does in fact ease by a more modest 25bps or not at all, at next months meeting. Risks of a rebound in commodity prices after the Summer Lull will also prove supportive.The NZD/YEN, which fell to its lowest level since August last year on Wednesday has since recovered around 300 pips. Given the magnitude of its decline, both the NZD and Nzd/Yen look overdue for a correction. Here, Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ) has already embarked on its easing cycle and given a hefty 152bps of ... | | By: Forex Trading Journal | | |

Cases are set to peak between 2011 and 2015 as the disease generally develops between 15 and 60 years after exposure - many of those who will develop the disease will have been exposed to asbestos before the dangers of mesothelioma were widely known.Trades people such as builders, plumbers, carpenters, gas fitters and electricians are particularly at risk as they may experience exposure to asbestos without being aware of it.The report carried out by the British Lung Foundation drew attention to the fact that many trades people are unaware of the potential risks.

| | Interest On Forex Trades | | 2008-02-13 14:59:58 | | One of the great things about Forex trading is your ability to trade using leverage, effectively borrowing sometimes as much as 1,000 times your capital to make a trade. But borrowing money for currency trading is exactly the same as borrowing money for any other purpose and you will have to pay interest on your loan. Currency transactions involve both buying and selling currencies however and this means that interest payments due on money which you borrow to fund a sale can be offset by interest earned on the currency you buy.

| | Swiss Franc Trades Near Two-Month Low as Carry Trade Resumes | | 2007-09-19 13:22:44 | | By Kim-Mai CutlerSept. 19 (Bloomberg) -- The Swiss franc traded near a two- month low against the euro as investors returned to carry trades after the Federal Reserve cut interest rates by a half-percentage point.The Fed lowered its benchmark interest rate by more than economists had forecast yesterday, spurring stock markets and reviving appetite for riskier investments. The Swiss franc is popular among investors who borrow it at 2.75 percent to convert into other currencies that can be lent out at higher rates.``With the Fed looking like it's riding to the rescue for risk-takers by delivering more than expected with rate cuts, we can expect more of a return to the carry trade,'' said Martin McMahon, a currency strategist at Credit Suisse Group in Zurich. ``The Swiss franc is going to come under pressure.''Against the euro, the franc traded at 1.6499 by 11:30 a.m. in Zurich, from 1.6521 late yesterday, when it reached the lowest since Aug. 3.

There is strong resistance at 83.42 level, so far it cannot breach the resistance. The dollar index also should have already test the trend line, I guess.

| | 28th May-1st June 2007: Trades & Commentaries | | 2007-05-28 23:26:00 | | I feel quite nervous when opening my positions, maybe because of I have not trading for a while. My current positions:1. sell eurusd o:1.3454 sl:1.34872. sell gbpusd o:1.9842 sl:1.99093. buy usdchf o:1.2271 sl:1.22174. buy usdjpy o:121.65 sl:121.35All positions are trend following. Yen position is quite tricky, but i think 161.60 support will hold it. Another possible trade is to buy usdcad, which is against the trend, the risk is higher. I will be watching how it goes. Today is holiday in UK and US, maybe my positions will start to develop tomorrow.Updates: 29th May 2007: Two of my positions got stopped out: 1. sell eurusd o:1.3454 sl:1.3487 c:1.3487, -33 pips 2. buy usdjpy o:121.65 sl:121.35 c:121.35, -30 pips Total: -63 pips Re-entry: 1. buy usdjpy o:121.42 sl:121.37 2. sell eurusd o:1.3488 sl:1.3517 I should enter the market today, not yesterday.

Anyway, I'm quite busy currently, so I guess I just take these two trade for this week.Update:24th May 2007:Both position got stopped out long time ago:1. sell gbpusd o:1.9831 sl:1.9910 (trailing 80 pips) c:1.9820, 11 pips2. sell gbpjpy o:238.53 sl:239.16 (trailing 80 pips) c:238.45, 8 pipsTotal pips: 19 pipsJust been saved by trailing stop . Lucky lucky (actually i don't like trailing stop). Price is way above my entry now. I guessed i shouldn't trade at all last few week. Too risky for me. I'm not updated with market situation now. Don't know what is going on. Maybe i will restart my trading back next week. For now I just want to watch their move. Good trade everybody.

I missed the usdcad trade, it has dived down more than 100 pips. No problem with that. Let's just see how the market will close today.

I was not on the PC at that time so no take profit at that level. I just take what the market gave me and leave, no greed. The usdchf is traded against the trend, I wasn't confident enough, so I cut the trade off, giving some free risk room to my another hot trade, gbpchf. Gbp slides hard last two week, by opening the gbpusd & gbpchf this should diversify my gbp trade. I closed both of them because I saw the bull is starting to take control, a retracement maybe, so I thought I would better just leave the market.

| | Soros Blamed Yen Carry Trades for Turbulence | | 2007-03-10 13:00:00 | | George Soros blamed yen carry trades as one very important factor in the current turbulence in global financial markets. As the YEN is basically interest-free, a lot of money is coming from borrowing and lots of Japanese money are going abroad. As the YEN weakened, a lot of people got into yen carry trades, thus causing a shake-out in financial markets. Soros also attributed the turbulence partly to a slowdown in the US economy and the housing situation. A slowdown will lead the US economy to more balanced growth while faster growth elsewhere will help correct the US trade deficit but that will lead to less liquidity in the market, Soros said in an interview with the Financial Times.Soros predicted that the Chinese govt will try to prevent a collapse of mainland bourses in the run up to the 2008 Beijing Olympics. He talked about the market being kept on a "even keel" until after the games. According to Soros, the govt had to intervene to cool down an overheating stock market, which had... | | By: Forex Trading Journal | | |

| | GBPYEN Trades Review | | 2007-03-02 12:57:00 | | My draw down this month is much caused by GBPYEN trades. Though I have winning trades in past few months, I found that this draw down has spoken to me. I just been trading this pair actively last month (February 07) and it is observed that this currency pair has contributed a total lost of 590 pips for the month. This is really unacceptable.Dropping this currency trade would prevent me from those lost from occurring again. I admit that this currency really promising to be traded, but the risk involved is too high, too much for a new trader like me. I must avoid that risk.As an alternative, I'll go to EuroYen. My history with EuroYen is good. Most of them were winners, and the risk taken for each trade were small. This should improve my performance. It is one part of 'cutting losers small' for me. That's all now and have a nice weekend...

Fantastic... | | 2007-01-02 13:22:00 | | Yes that's right in just under five months and only 5 trades I have managed to complete the Lincoln GrALE Trade Quest by swapping my bottle of Limited Edition 'Lincoln GrALE' Beer for a 1980 Red VW Devon Campervan,I've gone from this... One bottle of beerTo this... The chance to be the Editor of a NewspaperTo This... Co-hosting a Radio ShowTo This... x4 Tickets to see The Zutons in concertTo This... A old J Reg Citroen ZXTo my end Target of...A VW Campervan!!It's been fantastic, a great 5 months. I never actually thought I would even get to end of the quest let alone so quickly and in just 5 trades. I put it all down to having such a great start to the quest and having so much support from everyone who got involved and ran with the story.I basically started off here by offering a bottle of beer to trade up for anything of a higher value to get the ball rolling and I got a fantastic response right away. Over the past 5 months I've had some really good offers for trades and some really odd and bizarre offers, some of which have includedx2 Kylie Ticketsx4 Embrace Ticketsx3 Black 21" TV's£200 Cashx2 FCUK ParkersA Raleigh ChopperA night with a chaps GirlfriendA Ford Mondeo, No Tax, No MOTA day in the top Lincoln Based Band 'Barfly'10 000 Christmas Candy CanesWithout a doubt some crazy oddball people out there!My 5th and final trade has only come in over the past week, a guy contacted me through the website and told me about the camper, I jumped at the chance and jumped in the J Reg Citroen before he changed his mind about trading her and made the long Journey across and up the country to windy Newcastle. And when I say windy, I mean gale force 60mph side winds all the way there and back! Not to much of a worry on the way there as the Citroen was a very small hatchback and handled it very well, however the journey home was another story altogether!
