The idea behind the carry is quite straightforward. The trader goes long the currency with a high interest rate and finances that purchase with a currency with a low interest rate. In 2005, one of the best pairings was the NZD/JPY cross. The New Zealand economy, spurred by huge commodity demand from China and a hot housing market, has seen its rates rise to 7.25% and stay there (at the time of writing), while Japanese rates have remained at 0%. A trader going long the NZD/JPY could have harvested 725 basis points in yield alone!

Currency Trading, FOREX Hot Tips: Trading in Pairs?

Because Knowledge IS Power...


 
 
 
 
 
What is Trading in Pairs?
Currency trading is always traded in Pairs. Because currencies always trade in pairs, when a trader makes a trade he or she is always long one currency and short the other. For example, if a trader sells one standard lot (equivalent to 100,000 units) of EUR/USD, she would, in essence, have exchanged euros for dollars and would now be short euro and long dollars.

Although some retail dealers trade exotic currencies such as the Thai baht or the Czech koruna, the majority trade the seven most liquid currency pairs in the world, which are the four majors. Below are listed the four major Currency Pairs:

USD/CHF (dollar/Swiss franc)
USD/JPY (dollar/Japanese yen)
GBP/USD (British pound/dollar)
EUR/USD (euro/dollar)

To better understand this dynamic, let's use a concrete example. If you went into an electronics store and purchased a computer for $1,000, what would you be doing? You would be exchanging your dollars for a computer. You would basically be short $1,000 and long 1 computer. The store would be long $1,000 but now short 1 computer in its inventory. The exact same principle applies to the FX market, except that no physical exchange takes place. While all transactions are simply computer entries, the consequences are no less real. What are you really selling or buying in the currency market? The short answer is nothing. The retail FX market is purely a speculative market. No physical exchange of currencies ever takes place. All trades exist simply as computer entries and are netted out depending on market price. For dollar-denominated accounts, all profits or losses are calculated in dollars and recorded as such on the trader's account.

You keep hearing about this money generating model that takes no marketing or selling, merely 60 minutes a day (at the most) and no genius skill. I have to see it to believe it! At the least that was the 1st feeling for any person that knows the internet for some time. Let's take a look at the Real Facts about E Currency Exchanging. What if you were somehow able to render the flow of capital for "Internet Money" therefore it may be listed as a financial backing or "material currency"? We can produce as much as 1.5% to 4% every 24 hours in interests
