Choosing Yen Cross Trades According to Fundamental Conviction

Choosing Yen Cross Trades According to Fundamental Conviction

Talking Points:

• Conviction in setups can lead to taking a trade or not, position size, targets and other questions

• Sometimes, conviction can also help us filter which trades connected to a theme are better opportunities

• With risk swooning, we look at which Yen crosses are better suited for different levels of 'fear'

Want to test out all the premium tools and resources FXCM has to offer? We are holding an Open House.

Conviction is essential in trading. Whether we take a position or not, the size of our exposure, when and where to enter all depend on how certain we are that a setup or theme will play out. One theme that is constantly on the cusp of erupting is risk aversion. The response from risk-sensitive markets like US equities and Yen crosses this past week to the strong NFPs data is a sign that speculative sentiment may soon escalate to a dominant driver. In this weekend Strategy Video, we look at how the conviction level in risk trends can determine which Yen cross could prove a better trade candidate.
