Why Hedging FOREX is Superior to Directional Trading

Recently at a convention on Hedging there were in the who had spent as much as 80,000 or more on courses. None of them had any with trying to predict trends as directional traders. Most a of in the process.

Apparently there are about 250,000 traders. I would that 98% of them are directional traders. Yes, 250,000 traders in a 3.2 /day market while there are 144 Million traders in a much smaller market place. The New York exchange is about 30 million a day and comes nowhere near the of the decentralized market.

So, why so few are hedging the market? I believe this is mostly because of a lack of a system that consistently works.

Most directional traders with any experience have thought of hedging the market but most come to the the hedge just cancels itself out over time. So, most just give up on it not knowing how to make it work. But, what if, instead of zeroing out all you could actually double your with the hedge?

Let’s take the EURUSD and the CHFUSD .

These are historically negatively 93-98% of the time. That is when one pair goes up the other goes down, and vice versa, up to 98% of the time. Now, over time these would pretty much just cancel each other out and you would not be left with much of a profit and maybe would even see a slight loss if the hedge was not in your favor.

Now what if you could ALWAYS buy low when one pair went down and sell high when the other correlated pair went up? And when the market corrected do the same in the opposite direction over and over and over again?

This is how I ‘trade’ the market. Really it is more like ‘’ since I do not look at charts, do no analysis of , care very little about fundamentals as long as the hedge is sticking. I also only spend about 5-15 minutes a week resetting my buy and sell limits. The rest is done automatically.

Now, that is the ONE of the ways that I build my equity. The other is daily interest paid at special negotiated rates from some of the biggest brokers in the US and Switzerland. Not all brokers are alike in the rates that they pay even though they are based on the rates set by the respective central .

Because the system I use is so consistent and works so well the brokers are not only willing to bend over backwards to give us the best available they are also willing to give us 400:1 leveraging. Some brokers extend this 400:1 leveraging up to one . Note that no other system to my gets this kind of on that kind of . It is a first in retail and there is a good why.

Now, at first blush you may think that 400:1 leveraging is increasing our . In directional it certainly would be putting you in grave danger of losing your capital all that much quicker.

But, in fact, when you hedge the market as we do 400:1 actually DECREASES your . Hence, the brokers are quite happy to provide this kind of for this style of because it actually reduces the of a call and it makes the brokers that much more .

Now, why is 400:1 so important to hedging the market in the way we do it? Well, because of the daily interest!

Let’s take an example and say you have $5000 in your account and a 10% set.

That means you have $500 allocated to the market. If the net interest we receive is 1.11% annually then this would not be a of . We could do better at the ! …well maybe…

But, what happens when this $500 is leveraged at 400:1? All of a sudden this 1.11% interest becomes 44% per annum! Now, I am sure you would agree that this is a return worth looking at and that most managers would sell their mothers for this kind of return!

But, this return does not include the buy low/sell high . Add these all together and you have a system that on fairly conservative can produce very handsome and consistent without risking your shirt and without needing to in front of a computer all day and night watching charts until you go cross-eyed.

There is one more way that equity can increase or decrease. That is via the market in the hedge. Sometimes the hedge will work in your favor and sometimes it will go against you. When it is in your favor you can see windfall beyond the daily interest and buy and selling process. If it goes against you it will cause a pullback in your equity for a .

Compounding is also possible. When your balance and equity increase significantly over time your is going down. That means it is getting more conservative and safer if you just let it grow. But, if you want to keep your at say 10% then you can reallocate your and buy more lots which bring more interest and more buy low/sell .

Now, if you think that daily interest at 400:1 and 100% winning transactions makes sense what would you think if we could smooth out the that give us the big and big pullbacks, i.e. volatility?

Well, we could up our could we not? We could increase our without incurring much more and in fact may even be able to reduce it when we hedge the hedge. The net result means more interest, more profit, and less while freeing up our time to spend the we are making instead of ignoring our family stuck to a chart on a screen.

Presently such an enhancement is in testing and may soon to be released to the public if tests are successful. If you want to keep updated on this new development be sure to subscribe to my update list.

By learning how to HEDGE the you not only increase your profit and reduce your . You can also get a life! That to me is the most attractive part of this whole system.

The great thing is it is not difficult to either. I personally in the system I use and it usually takes a couple of hours and about 10 minutes a week to monitor before my students are on their own.

Trading Forex - Exotics As Carry Trade

The carry trade is an involving basic arbitrage between . Any transaction comprises of simultaneously selling one and another. Object of the carry trade is to sell a with a low interest and purchase one with higher interest . pays interest on the sold part of the trade and collects it on the that was purchased, capturing the differential.

This easy has been a buzzword in circles for many years. There are always differences in to be exploited and sometimes they are quite substantial. To make it more appealing, these imbalances can last for a , years even, making the carry trade a darling among the “easy . Such was the case for which had been heavily borrowed for years in order to buy NZD, and GBP, until last summer. That’s when the now famous “unwind of the carry trade” took place, sinking a of over leveraged traders.

Since then press has been relatively quiet on the subject. Recently, though, new variants of the method have started to pop out. On of them involves USD being sold against a basket of other . It is based on the premise that FED will continue to cut rates and the will continue its weakness unabated. Since the outcome for rates of other major economies is also very uncertain, hence the basket of . This makes it for a rather complicated , requiring careful allocation within the basket. This particular a approach makes the carry trade a little more complicated than it needs to be.

Another option gaining attention of late is the use of emerging , also known as exotics. Some of the relatively high yielding ones are, as of this writing, Brazilian Real, Mexican Peso, Turkish Lira and South African Rand. While they are not available on all platforms, more and more brokers are adding at least some of them to their offerings. As of late, Rand (ZAR) and Lira (TRY) seem to be leading the pack.

South African Rand has been actively traded for many years now, has accumulated a wealth of historical data and is probably most suitable for individual . South African Reserve ’s overnight stands 11%. Rates have been cut four times last year and this is expected to continue. This has benefited enormously from the boom, especially the metals. It’s not without serious problems though, very high unemployment , political instability, and failing infrastructure (electricity shortages) are sure to have effect on the Rand. This is available on most of the leading ’s platforms.

Turkish Lira currently offers the highest in the industrial world. The benchmark overnight was standing at 15,25% lately. In 2001 the started reforms, backed by International Monetary Fund, which greatly improved economic stability. This led to Turkey being one of the fasting growing economies in the world, for a few years . Prospective European Union membership also increased the flow of foreign . However, has to overcome very high level of deficit and external debt. Political instability is always possible, as well as the ever present threat of a military conflict with its Kurdish minority.

These exotics certainly offer interesting and tempting opportunities for carry trade enthusiasts. Combined with daily interest payouts and massive availability, they are sure to draw attention of . Let’s not forget, however, that the potential for loss is also high. During adverse times, exotic will tend to move much faster than others.
