Hi Rob. This comment of mine refers to Episode219: Long vs Short Term Trading.
I am listening and having a lot of fun in almost all of your Podcast ( now in episode 153 in reverse order ). Nice job, very entertaining and educating at the same time.
To be honest, having 2 years of experience analysing currencies, I came to a point where I realised that the only thing to beat or solve in the currency space or in any other financial markets is “Volatility” ( in my opinion , the ever minute to years of changing views about its current state and that’s why it ticks… ).
I’m in the camp of holding positions, either buy or sell or the combination of both for the longest possible time or forever for consistent capital appreciation. The way I see it or to do it
is through Regression. I’m working on it for a year now and it allows me to hold 12 Currency Pair and yet just controlling 1.
Please go figure it out, it may give some insights that no Brokers would want. Just kidding.
Thanks. More Podcast!
Carlos, I agree completely. I love this idea of yours, and I look forward to hearing more from you about the work you are doing.

Hi Rob. Thank you for your reply. I appreciate it. I’m working it alone, figuring it out myself without any one to guide. I’m not an economist nor mathematician but I think my experience in equities and now in currencies brings me to this idea of Regression. This is not the “Mean Reversion” but rather new concept or method or whatever we can call it for taming volatility ( at least in currencies but not all pairs ).
Sorry, but I’m not a Technical Trader ( I don’t even understand the word Technical ). I’m more to analysing , internalising , rationalising (whatever ) the things that I do. I don’t even consider myself Fundamentalist. If I have a view on something, I put logic in it. Taking the vantage point.
Carlos
