I think that an "official" Greek default has been a known reality for quite some time, so it certainly should not come as a shock to the market. If anything, it will come as a relief, just like when a long suffering cancer patient finally passes ...

Yes, it can appear a bit counter-intuitive at first glance. I would definitely recommend looking at all trades using the steps I outlined above, until you really get a feel for it. I would use the analogy of a sailor learning to use celestial ...
Question : is this a paradox?

Not sure I quite follow the equities analogy, but another way to think about it is that your USD position is losing half of its value, and your USD account balance is also losing half of its value, compared to CHF. So you are losing $5,000 on your ...

The IMF helps countries? Sure. Don't let something insignificant, like its track record, sway you from your beautifully crafted opinion.

Leverage is not constant throughout the lifetime of your trade. As your loss gets bigger, your equity goes down. Please note that it is account equity (balance + unrealized P/L) that I'm using to calculate leverage. The best way to deal with basic ...

That's a new one. Reading a few quotes from Roubini does NOT constitute fundamental analysis. That's like watching on CNN that CERN scientists managed to accelerate a neutrino beyond the speed of light, and saying you just engaged in physics ...

When you say "Greece", who do you mean? Greece is not one person. I don't really look at the whole situation as Greece vs. Bondholders, or Greece vs. Germany or whatever. I look at it more as the privileged class, whether they are Greek, German or ...

EUR/USD is sliding? I must have missed that. All I see is a weekly bullish engulfing pattern at support, and then an upward follow-through. No sliding on any recent charts here.

Not highly leveraged for sure, but when you go after big moves like that, you don't need to be. At 2:1 you can make 30% on a single trade like that. The math works for me.

Balancing the budget is not the same as paying down debt. It would be pretty spectacular, but a balanced budget is not beyond the realm of possibility. Paying down the national debt, on the other hand, is not only improbable, but impossible. The ...

When I look at a daily EUR/USD chart, I see a 1600 pip drop in a straight line (until the recent bounce). Boogeyman algos that eat retail traders alive aside, anyone who couldn't trade move is simply not a good trader (IMO).
