Not sure if this post belongs here in my journal, and/or in the Canada housing bubble thread (https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/canadian-housing-bubble-thread.308528/), but it's interesting to see that the Canadian yield curve is quite flat: https://www.investing.com/rates-bonds/ 2 year 2.11% 10 year 2.29% 30 year 2.30% The 20 year is at 2.32%, so tiny inversion from 20 year to 30 year. Just a couple of bps from inversion from 10 year to 30 year. And the 10 year is yielding only 0.18% more than the 2 year. .

A watchlist of emerging market currencies. Argentina and Turkey have been in the news a fair bit in recent months, but this list also includes ZAR, BRL, RUB, MXN, INR and IDR. USDJPY and USDCNH are on the list as measures of risk appetite. https://finance.yahoo.com/quotes/us...MXN=x,usdJPY=x,usdCNH=x,BTCusd=x,GC=F/view/v1 .
This idea (long ETH/BTC) https://www.elitetrader.com/et/thre...-quotes-and-charts.309279/page-2#post-4726442 seems to be working in recent days. https://www.tradingview.com/symbols/ETHBTC/ https://www.cryptocompare.com/coins/eth/charts/BTC?p=12M Bitcoin, Ethereum, Tether, BTC/ETH ratios https://finance.yahoo.com/quotes/BTCusd=x,ETHusd=x,btc-eth,eth-btc,USDT-usd,/view/v1 .
I don't quite understand the context of the last three words of your post. If I am looking to take directional exposure on a cryptocurrency (or a BTC/ETH pair), then there is nothing to hedge. ETH/BTC has gone from 0.027321 when I made the initial post a few days ago to 0.03434 now, a rise of over 25% in less than one week. .
If I can't hedge an instrument, I don't trade that instrument in timeframes over 29 minutes. And how much you can make in any symbol does not make it right, as the losses can be staggering in my views. Am glad you doing well.
