I've explained it in 5-6 posts. You don't get it. Seriously, Google tri-arbitrage. The pairs will not seem to be tracking, but trust me, they are (tracking). You see pip-variability but if you size it = the position nets to EURCHF.
lol I have an active Journal... which actually get views. I haven't traded FX since global STIRs dropped below 5%. And I actually trade what I journal. Have some f*cking pride of authorship. Stop being a lazy f*ck and do some homework. You're an embarrassment to retail pikers. It's pointless to carry on with you. #blocked
Where do people get this silly idea that you cannot make money trading the foreign exchange market, by far THE most liquid market in the world?
The CAD/CHF did indeed move in the expected direction (almost 100 pips as we speak), with virtually zero drawdown. Unfortunately the exit was premature, proving once again that the most "uncomfortable" trades are often the most profitable.
This is your territory; I can see you're right. Discrepancies are rare... But why is the price action on the EURCHF so different from EURCAD (straight up) and CADCHF (straight down)?
Good question. The (now gone) troll naively believes that if your trading system gives you a short signal on EUR/CAD and then later another short signal on CAD/CHF, then you should dump both trades and go short EUR/CHF immediately, even if there is absolutely no trading signal on EUR/CHF at that moment. Of course only total amateurs would do such a thing.
Well, yeah. You're removing CAD from the equation. You're trading the lowest vol-pair in Europe. It's like a 5-vol pair on RV vs. a 10-vol in CADCHF. Imagine the edge loss of trading CAD vs. CHF and EUR to ARRIVE AT EURCHF. It's surreal. I realize that it's unintentional, but c'mon. Critical thinking, @Tradex.
Your system put you in a EURCHF trade despite telling you there is no EURCHF opportunity. Of course only total amateurs would do such a thing.
