Hi N,
Great story and very cleverly presented in that Q & A interview format. The very pertinent point that stuck out in my mind after reading this two part speil a couple of times was the fact that your corrie indy doesnt actually represent a "system" for trading, its rather on the user to make use of your corrie indy and create their own system for for trading - whether its an ehancement to an existing system or instead a brand new approach.
When I first stumbled across your thread in late Autumn '09 and got your corrie indy working in its very raw format, the first thing I noticed was something you pointed out in your story, and that was seeing my favourite three as non quoted pairs displayed against each other in real time showed me a simplistic yet very powerful tool to determine which Country's currency was strong and which was weak - so if G was strong and E was strong then sell U, and out of G versus E if G was strong, focus on buying G against U and E and selling U against G and E.... The combinations just for these three currencies are always endless during intra day sessions!
From a personal view point, I think you have come a real long way since you first started this thread and most certainly those early [UK local time] overall observations you post often stay "good" throughout the day's session - a sort of real time "good for the day" position trading technique.
Its a bit of a downer that not many (like none!) people join in on your thread and post their own observations and twists on your corrie indy use - lots are looking in on your thread as I often see the "views" count move by over 200 on a daily basis.
Anyway, hope you enjoyed the weekend and are ready for this week's volatile session as we are going to start to see the true extent of the market's reaction to Spain. Portugual, Greece and Ireland fiscal problems (Euro) and also UK's massive debt problem (GBP) plus the very worrying USA weak bank capital provisions (USD) play themselves out.
Simon.
