A retail foreign currency exchange service provider story
this tale took place in July 1998. For sure, it was a bull economy back then. Jeez, back then one couldn't find a Karissa to strategise! Well anyway, while i was screwing around at Easy Forex things were a delightful achievement. I heard that the changes in the foreign traffic might impact on the TRY-AUD rates. This tip assured me the plan of waiting till then and then selling is fool proof! Well for starts i suspected some guile or something, but once i realized the real meaning of what he has said to me, i went: true, the spread is thin, but lets give the tip the works! Thinking as i was sitting on in the ball park of four ponies, i thought it right to GFD 100 mini lots. I held out for several minutes, as the stop loss slowly bore closer, untill some quite average change became notable. A few minutes later this bastard of a base currency was going up through the roof! I sold at 240 pips per unit of loss. So i started getting quite troubled. So much for the confidence that the changes in the aircraft and aviation equipment industry can change the TRY transactions for the good. I had brought home 100 Valeries and that was the bottom line. But next thing i know the account unloaded at a loss of 36 percent! Holler, now that was a real surprise! Well well! I had gone down straight from 1511 bucks to 1511 mini lots. At least i still had my shirt!
