Can I ask what your experiences are? I’ve only started (and am still demoing :() after the crisis started and I’m curious to know what similarities/differences there are, if any.
Perhaps this question applies more to those who do fundamental analysis, but any feedback is much appreciated.
pretty much the same - prices are going up and down, the difference now is hardly anything, IMO
I recall it being real nutty for about a week. But now if there is a difference, it’s not noticeable to me.
Volatility was MUCH lower heading into 2007. Traders were actually complaining about it (careful what you ask for). It was well suited for carry trades and other range-based strategies. There used to be quite a bit of talk on these boards about “grid” type strategies along those lines. Not so much anymore. I’m sure a lot of those folks got blown out when the markets heated up.
Positive forex grid strategies are rare because it is pretty difficult to find the right balance between profits and stop level
I started studying the market pre-crisis and I was one of those that asked for more volatility, but when I putted my money in I didn�t ask for it so much, it was safer I think. Now the currencies are crazy, but of course, this way is more entertaining 
I agree, the volatility does make it very interesting. Thanks all for your replies.
The interesting thing abut the forex market is that changes all the time, isn�t it?
That volatility is what makes us win nice money hihihi
People who doesn�t like changes or are looking for a safe-boring job, shouldn�t get near forex
G�day!
