Testimonials

In previous articles I’ve written about the idea of Kelly betting or using leverage to really boost the growth of your returns.  I’ve also shown how different fundamental components work together to create an FX Benchmark index. This article is slightly different.  I want to keep it KISS: “Keep It Simple Stupid.”  I will show you how to combine several instruments (three in actuality), which will create a Hedge Fund Benchmark.  And then we apply leverage to this index, and see wha… Read more
Money Growth: Trade it Like a Hedge Fund
“Greed is good”, but one shouldn’t always assume that the counterparty won’t notice. Last Wednesday, 27th January 2016, was FOMC day, news event day, and the markets went ape. Following on from the previous articles the idea was to continue to exploit the observed quote outages and extract value. Turns out that (presumably as expected), brokers aren’t that slow on their feet. I was moved from B-book status (i.e. rookie / loser status) to A-book status. Let’s just say that exces… Read more

In this article I’ll follow up from Part I, on using the UK Services PMI to trade the GBP. The questions we’ll answer are:

  3. What does it mean to trade a basket of currencies against GBP, or is there a preferred pair to trade?

  1. Inflation: influences Central Bank behaviour, but also tells us about price increas… Read more

Investing in Bonds
Of all things on this planet?!  Aren’t they boring?  Not explosive enough?  Isn’t this stuff what old people invest in?  Also, aren’t they supposed to start to sell-off?  And how do you get your hands on these over the counter instruments. In the first article of this series on Creating Profitable Trading Strategies  we started with the premise that you need to look at assets and their underlying biases. We covered equities.  They’re exciting.  Buffett makes 19.1% a year on them.  An… Read more
Why Would You Want to Invest in Bonds?
It’s only been the fourth trading day of 2016, but there is no shortage of surprises, volatility, and all round mayhem. Today the AUDUSD had two announcements which can be considered relevant. The first was at 00:30GMT, the Building Approvals number, and shortly after 01:15GMT the PBOC rate fixing for the CNY. The first announcement was followed by a slow 10 pip grind to the downside, followed by a retracement to 0.7084. The PBOC announcement was issued at 01:16GMT, on the back of which … Read more
More on Market Dynamics: AUDUSD and the PBOC
I’ve written several articles on what happens during news announcements, and associated quick trading strategies.  But from a regular trader’s perspective, surely there must be another way to approach these things. In this article I’ll given an overview as to how to trade these news announcements in a slightly more leisurely way, and see if there is anything to be had out of trading against market hysteria.  The instrument of choice will be the EURUSD, though you can pick any other inst… Read more
