Made £500 in 24 hours trading the FED rate and then BoE rate.
A few simple trades.One trade made £100 in 3mins. Lovely stuff.Right back to the boring design work...
- Return rate 1.95 | Win rate 70% | Profit/loss ratio 1.79:1shapesalad
- Far more intellectually challenging trying to predict and time trades, than moving some text around a layout.shapesalad
- betting is intellectually challenging?hans_glib
- betting isn't, trading is.shapesalad
- i think you may be confusing completing a technical task that requires intuition and ego flexing on the internet as intellectualism when its just endorphins butkingsteven
- yes, graphic design is workkingsteven
- I'm confused. but anyway, made an extra £50 while on a work call. Trading the volatility as the market figures out which way it's going = fun.shapesalad
- how does trading volatility looks like in real life, what are you doing exactly?sted
- Look at hourly chart for a USD/JPY pair - typically price only moves a certain amount each hour in a average week. Very pedestrian.shapesalad
- If you trade in those times, a sensible sized trade, after an hour if you got the full move of an hourly candle you are up maybe £20.shapesalad
- However since FED announcement and then BoJ trying to stop their currency crashing - the hourly candles are massive! Price is moving massively.shapesalad
- Pips they call it. So if you can figure out the right direction, within minutes with your normal safe trade size - you're up £100.shapesalad
- Basically you can make money quicker when market moves are big. It's more risky as you need to be quick. But it's super fun.shapesalad
- Do it again thendrgs
- that looks like simple technical trading on forex. I was hoping that you have some indexes like CBOEVIX or ASX200V, and trade the news/momentumsted
