Especially being American. But on the bright side, we can enjoy each day in spite of our mortality as governments can enjoy the spending party until the party stops. Neither death nor depression will be fun but both are part of the cycles of life; even a supernova of our beloved Sun star is inevitable. Thanks for the update on the state of our global economy. Chinese style state capitalism seems to be winning, but who really knows from outside of China? Kind of depressing, sir! Especially being American.

I think this is a limitation that effectively prevents smaller market participants from implementing such a strategies as mentioned above. It also limits access to the data (currently there are 209 pairs available at OANDA) which would allow tracking when market overshoots and when it's in balance.

I would normally have closed at a loss, but I considered the fact that 70% of traders were long AUD would work in my favor when (if) the reversal came. I also used tools.olseninvest to help decide at what price level I should increase my position. I must say it feels wrong to increase your risk when in a losing position, but if you do it carefully in the right situation it can work. Thanks as always for your blog and information services.

I understand that the herd tends to accumulate losing positions and that their stop losses and margin calls can drive the price up. However, shouldn't the market orders of the herd (which, by hypothesis, are selling into uptrends and buying into downtrends) offset the price movement caused by their stoplosses? I'm no expert on market microstructure, but it would seem logic to me. And keep up the good work, I'm sure most people reading this blog appreciate the holistic approach to trading that you share with us here, can't thank you enough for all those interesting articles!

No problem. Thx for the tweets and please keep them coming, and a very special thanks for HTT. A global "big picture" of real-time Long-Short positions of all financial instruments would indeed be useful in preventing the crisis culture that Wall Street benefits so magnificently from in terms of bailouts and political control of government policy. I'll just make it simple and not post here, but I'll be reading! Thx for all your help and please take a look at Practice 6587183 occasionally to see how my program derived from HTT is working out.
