A number of years ago, a stunningly efficient technical technique was created to reliably anticipate sudden price surges – and capture full-trend profits – in any market… by anyone willing to abide by its rules.
Based in large part on anecdotal evidence… its viral reach… and the mainstreaming of the Volatility Trigger concept – its estimated the “take action” rules at the core of “The $3,000 Secret” could actually be responsible - by now – for profits in the TENS OF MILLIONS of dollars.
And it’s that eight figure “staying power” that rekindled Lee Gettess' interest…
In January 2021 – after a wild year of unprecedented “Covid-triggered” volatility – Lee Gettess revisited “The $3,000 Secret”… curious to know precisely how its core volatility trigger strategy would have held up to that 2020 stress test.
Lee’s January analysis – with “dollars and cents” results – is part of an Update that comes right along with the main e-book.
Tomorrow, you could begin doubling your account every single month starting with one letter.
The letter will come from a 20-year trading professional named Ian Cooper. He says, “In 2017, following my trades you would be doubling even tripling your account some months. Let me show you how.”
He will show you exactly what to do... and he’ll give you the blueprint for just $1.
For more avid students of foreign exchange who want to learn more about fundamental analysis and valuing currencies, this article examines the different models of currency forecasting employed by the analysts of the major investment banks. There are seven major models for forecasting currencies: the balance of payments (BOP) theory, purchasing power parity (PPP), interest rate parity, the monetary model, and the currency substitution model.
Balance of Payments Theory
The balance of payments theory states that exchange rates should be at their equilibrium level, which is the rate that produces a stable current account balance. Countries with trade deficits experience a run on their foreign exchange reserves due to the fact that exporters to that nation must sell that nation's currency in order to receive payment. The cheaper currency makes that nation's exports less expensive abroad, which in turn fuels exports and brings the currency into balance.
What Is The Balance of Payments
The balance of payments account is divided into two parts: the current account and the capital account. The current account measures trade in tangible, visible items such as cars and manufactured goods; the surplus or deficit between exports and imports is called the trade balance. The capital account measures flows of money, such as investments for stocks or bonds. Balance of payments data can be found on the web site of the Bureau of Economic Analysis (www.bea.gov).
Trade Flows
The trade balance of a country shows the net difference over a period of time between a nation's exports and imports. When a country imports more than it exports the trade balance is negative or is in a deficit. If the country exports more than it imports the trade balance is positive or is in a surplus. The trade balance indicates the redistribution of wealth among countries and is a major channel through which the macroeconomic policies of a country may affect another country.
In general, it is considered to be unfavorable for a country to have a trade deficit, in that it negatively impacts the value of the nation's currency. For example, if U.S. trade figures show greater imports than exports, more dollars flow out of the United States and the value of the U.S. currency depreciates. A positive trade balance, in comparison, will affect the dollar by causing it to appreciate against the other currencies.
Capital Flows
In addition to trade flows, there are also capital flows that occur among countries. They record a nation's incoming and outgoing investment flows such as payments for entire (or for parts of) companies, stocks, bonds, bank accounts, real estate, and factories. The capital flows are influenced by many factors, including the financial and economic climate of other countries. Capital flows can be in the form of physical or portfolio investments. In general, in developing countries, the composition of capital flows tends to be skewed toward foreign direct investment (FDI) and bank loans. For developed countries, due to the strength of the equity and fixed income markets, stocks and bonds appear to be more important than bank loans and FDI.
Equity Markets
Equity markets have a significant impact on exchange rate movements because they are a major place for high-volume currency movements. Their importance is considerable for the currencies of countries with developed capital markets where great amounts of capital inflows and outflows occur, and where foreign investment flows in the equity markets is dependent on the general health and growth of the market, reflecting the well-being of companies and particular sectors. Movements of currencies occur when foreign investors move their money to a particular equity market. Thus, they convert their capital in a domestic currency and push the demand for it higher, making the currency appreciate. When the equity markets are experiencing recessions, however, foreign investors tend to flee, thus converting back to their home currency and pushing the domestic currency down.
Fixed Income (Bond) Markets
The effect the fixed income markets have on currencies is similar to that of the equity markets and is a result of capital movements. The investor's interest in the fixed income market depends on the company's specifics and credit rating, as well as on the general health of the economy and the country's interest rates. The movement of foreign capital into and out of fixed income markets leads to change in the demand and supply for currencies, hence impacting the currencies exchange rates.
