  • Hi, thanks for the great videos. You are a natural teacher (I think you can be a talk show host lol)

  • Hi Urza26, Glad to hear from you and thanks for the compliment. The InformedTrades talk show...I like it. Best Regards, Dave

  • greetings Dave,my question is why is GBP/JPY so volitale,which currency is actually the strongest in the long run globally

  • Glad to hear from you almalik77. GBP/JPY is so volatile because it has traditionally been one of the more popular currency pairs for the carry trade so it is very sensitive to interest rate expecations and there is a lot of retail money that moves in and out of it based on those expectations. Right now the US Dollar is proving to be the strongest currency out there during the credit crisis, however this may change as things play out with the bailout package. Best Regards, Dave

  • Hi, Dave, I have two questions. First, don't you need to pay the interests for the leverage you hold for a long time? Second, why is Wenesday you have $30 (for additiional Saturday and Sunday) for rollover but not Friday? Thanks, Xiaohong

  • Hi, Glad to hear from you. No, unlike in the stock market, in the forex market you do not have to pay interest for the leverage used when trading, it is provided free of charge. The rollover is triple on Wed. at 5pm because this is the beginning of Thursday's trading. In the forex market what you are actually trading is a two day contract so Thursday's trade settles on the weekend. Best Regards, Dave
