Of course Peat, only pulling your leg.
your alt+print works OK but I can't crop enough out in order to not display the entire family jewels (and in any event can't upload to ST anyway)
Got that download Arco, do you have to reload it each month? I seem to have been directed to the platinum version and irrespective of what one does its only a 1 month trial. But anyway, will have a play
Peat, when the Kiwi eventually realises it can't fly, gravity should have the appropriate impact, i.e terminal velocity, but not sure its ready for that just yet

The Platinum special ediation works for one month, after that
the Gold is totally free until your hard drive crashes.
At that time, game over, re-apply.
There is also a nice little image editor with the program.
After that, save file and manipulate in 'Paint' or other
paint programme. Easy as ABC.
Have fun..

Not sure if this can affect the NZD?
May 10, 2005
The Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry is investigating a claim that there has been a deliberate release of the foot and mouth virus on Waiheke Island in the Hauraki Gulf.
Biosecurity director Barry O'Neill says the claim, which was made in a letter to the Prime Minister's office on Tuesday morning, is probably a hoax but is being taken very seriously.
MAF has activated its disease management response systems.
A controlled area notice has been issued which restricts the movement of livestock and risk material on and from Waiheke Island while the investigation is underway.
There are no restrictions on people travelling to or from Waiheke Island. A police inquiry into the origin of the letter has been launched.

Hmmm, that possibly explains the sudden dump from 7320
In my experience, and I was very close to it in my past life, any rumours about farms being isolated have always caused a rapid sell-off, until proven otherwise. Obviously an outbreak of F&M is an absolute disaster for the NZ economy, as the CjD story a year or so ago now could have been. This one is slightly different, being a letter to Helen, and smacks of being a hoax. But you never know, terrorism takes unusual forms.
IMO a confirmed outbreak would take 20 to 30 cents off the Kiwi inside a day, with almost no recovery until its cleared.
I'll stay short....ahem

Welcome Lakedaemonian.
Your input/ideas will be gladly received.
125% - you are certainly doing very well. Congratulations.
You say you are working "in the direction of long-term
fundamentals". On what information are you basing your
longer term trades ?
Regards
arco

Hi Arco.....thanks for the welcome.
My business interests include import/export(mostly import), so I'm acutely aware of relative pricing differentials between certain currency pairs(particularly NZ related) for various goods. This has led to my interest in FOREX trading
The "fundamentals"(if that's what they really are) I tend to go with are as follows:
Big Mac Economist Index(and other identical consumer commodity prices)
Durable goods price differentials(big one for me)
Relative real estate price differentials(harder to judge...but I THINK it can be of value)
Interest rates
Trade surplus/deficits
Immigration figures(I think they are of value when considering the NZ dollar...in my opinion I think they could be inversely proportional)
Defense spending(minor one, but worth considering high US spending versus low NZ spending as % of GDP)
Averaging out currency "fair value" opinions(big one for me)
Relative tax and tariff policies
Central Bank decisions
Historical currency pair performance(big one for me)
BASICALLY everything I can possibly absorb about a particular nation's economy and currency, but throwing out what I fail to understand.
It seems to be working so far......but 4 months is hardly an adequate sample size...we'll see how it goes!
That's why I'm keen to learn more about technical analysis.....if I can get "the stars to align" maybe by using both my trading confidence will rise and hopefully reduce my risk a bit.
We shall see

Hi Lake....can we call you Ian? welcome aboard the forex express.
Those are certainly 'big picture' fundamental elements to be using for shorter term trading, but seems to have worked for you so far.
you'll find useful tips on TA at www.tacticaltrader.com and there are plenty of leads on www.fxstreet.com
Unfortunately, there's almost too much out there, especially on the net.
Perhaps you could invest some of those returns and buy a decent book on the subject. Arco, maybe you could recommend one or two from your collection?
cheers
