I've thought of carry trades but I want a very good solid basis of trading in general before I look seriously into carry trades and the reasoning has been touched on.
Somthing I live by: Nothing stays the same, so you have two choices: Make it better, or let it get worse.
Basically as applied to this, the market wont stand still (except on fridays after 5, to sundays before 5 (EST) if you really want to count that
) If you know how to trade, know atleast some technical, and some fundemental so your grounded in both studies -- your chances of knowing when to enter for the benifit of getting a carry trade are higher. Likewise for knowing when to exit.
Just my thoughts and opnions, but hey, if it works for you it works for you! I can tell you ild be such a nervous nilly right now about it working for me that, well it would be a self fulfilling prophecy. Not that I can't do it at all, just that I dont know enough for me to be confident to learn about it seriously, so I've touched on the issue as it comes up in my multitude of reading and learning but thats about it.
