If a trader does not know something is going to happen, it is naturally pretty hard to prepare. How could a forex trader have prepared for the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, or for a massive tsunami, hur- ricane, or other natural disaster? Such shocks, though part of trading in the real world, fortunately are still infrequent. Even if traders could anticipate such events, they probably would not be able to predict how and to what extent the markets might react. The mass psychology of the marketplace sometimes does unexpected things. It is hard to trade unknown, untimed shocks. If traders watch developments in markets and industries related to their target market, they may be able to predict that something is about to happen in the market. For example, if soybean traders had monitored ocean freight rates for the past month they might not be sur- prised if China announced an unexpected huge purchase that drives up soybean prices. Sometimes traders have an inkling that some fundamental market- moving event is going to happen, but the timing surprises the market. 23 ForeX trading using interMarket anaLysis China’s announcement in July 2005 that it would make a slight revalu- ation of the yuan and peg it to a basket of currencies instead of the U.S. dollar was just such an event. Discussed and expected for months, if not years, the timing still caught many traders by surprise. Outbreaks of war, central bank interventions, government policy changes, trade embargoes, natural disasters such as hurricanes, announcements of disease epidemics such as Asian flu, and similar occurrences are events that traders expect will affect various markets. However, the timing or the extent of the action may catch traders off guard, causing at least temporary volatility or whipsaws that trigger undesirable market exposure or ill-timed entries and exits. Such occurrences are inherent in trading. Traders may not be able to anticipate the fundamental market-moving events, but many of these shocks have only a short-term effect on forex markets. Politics and government policies usually evolve slowly and produce trends that are more likely to persist in forex than in many other markets. Download 1.29 Mb. Do'stlaringiz bilan baham: |
