Day Trading the Currency Market

Better Business Bureau

by Kathy Lien

The following is an excerpt from Kathy Lien's Day Trading the Currency Market

Intervention by central banks is one of the most important short-term and long-term fundamentally based market movers in the currency market. For short-term traders, intervention can lead to sharp intraday movements on the scale of 150 to 250 pips in a matter of minutes. For longer-term traders, intervention can signal a significant change in trend because it suggests that the central bank is shifting or solidifying its stance and sending a message to the market that it is putting its backing behind a certain directional move in its currency. There are basically two types of intervention: sterilized and un-sterilized. Sterilized intervention requires off-setting intervention with the buying or selling of government bonds. While un-sterilized intervention involves no changes to the monetary base to off-set intervention. Many argue that un-sterilized intervention has a more lasting effect on the currency than sterilized intervention.

Taking a look at some of the case studies, it is apparent that interventions in general are important to watch and can have large impacts on a currency pair’s price action. Although the actual timing of intervention tends to be a surprise, quite often the market will begin talking about the need for intervention days or weeks before the actual intervention occurs. The direction of intervention is generally always known in advance because the central bank will typically come across the newswires complaining about too much strength or weakness in its currency. These warnings give traders a window of opportunity to participate in what could be significant profit potentials, or to stay out of the markets. The only thing to watch out for, is that the sharp intervention-based rallies or sell-offs can quickly be reversed as speculators come into the market to fade the central bank.

Whether or not the market fades the central bank depends on the frequency of central bank intervention, the success rate, the magnitude of the intervention, the timing, and whether fundamentals support intervention. Overall though, intervention is much more prevalent in emerging market currencies than in the G-7 currencies since countries such as Thailand, Malaysia, and South Korea need to prevent their local currencies from appreciating too significantly such that the appreciation would hinder economic recovery and reduce the competitiveness of the country’s exports. The rarity of G-7 intervention makes the instances even more significant.

The following is an excerpt from Russell Sands' Turtle Secrets

Many of you may already know my disapproval of looking at anything other than direct price action of the market you are trading; to say nothing of my contempt for some of the more ‘exotic’ indicators out there. Well, one of the hot new twists in technical analysis that vendors and system designers have come up with are indicators where the price of one market becomes a signal for a trade in another (related) one. The term in vogue days is ‘Intermarket Analysis’. What started out several years ago known simply as ‘Correlation’ has been carried to a whole new level. And needless to say, I think it’s been carried just a little bit too far.

One of the more ‘popular’ relationships that people look at these days is between the Bond market and the CRB Index. Traditional argument is that these two markets are negatively correlated, since the CRB is a proxy for inflation. If general commodity prices are rising, this means the overall economy is expanding, along with inflationary pressures, and thus the government will have to raise interest rates (bond prices go down) in order to keep the economy under control. On the other hand, if interest rates remain low (bond prices are high), this means we are still in the recessionary phase of the economic cycle, where we would expect commodity prices to be weak. And in fact, in the summer of 1990, a falling CRB Index kept me from selling a short-side breakout in bonds which ultimately was a false breakout, thus saving myself some money.

But are the Bonds and CRB really negatively correlated, or at least consistently enough to be able to use this information to make money trading? While these two markets did go in opposite directions for the second half of 1992, in the first half of that year they seemed to be going the same way. In fact, statistical testing on the computer revealed that the correlation coefficient between these two markets for the whole year 1992 was approximately zero.

The following is an excerpt from Wendy Kirkland's Prime Entry Profits

Every day Wendy shares her “Prime Entry Profits” (PEP) Rally Newsletter. The following is her thought for the week, along with what she expects this week in trading.

Thought for the Week: Do you feel like everything works against you? You need to duck, dart and dash as protection from being whacked by what it places in your path. Or do you feel like you are in control, that you are the director or creator of the things that come into your life?

You are in control. What you focus your attention and energy on, is what you will get more of. Decide to live the life you would love living and direct your attention on who and what that is.

In Trading: The DOW dropped 200+ points, Nasdaq had a 90+ point drop, and S&P 25+ drop. Yesterday was the worst market day of the year in terms of negative numbers.
