My version says first published in GB in 2013.

I have only read the introduction foreword by Michael Woolfolk. It is the trading "challenge" of FX he puts into perfect perspective. I have not yet read the content by the authors so you slightly misquote me :-) I want to better understand fundamental and CB influences upon currencies but Woolfolk warns that such are seldom helpful for shorter term FX trading. I am commenting prematurely until I have read the full content.

The Foreign Exchange Matrix is an old book by Barbara Rockefeller and Vicki Schmeltzer.
It doesn't put fx market in perfect perspective.
When you chart stock price, you display price versus sequence ( not "time"!) and assume price is independent of sequence, sequence is a true independent variable.
But when you chart an fx pair, you actually chart the mutual dependency of the members of the pair. The currencies are not independent of each other. Whenever such is the case
you actually need a complex plane.
Thats the simple maths fact.
You could start a paper trade experiment. Just pick pairs at random at randomly chosen level and wait. You will see in most cases that paper losses start to pile up. When you wait long enough with a probability higher than chance losses turn into profits one by one. Such is fx. This holds only if CB interventions are excluded. ( closed system).

Ashraf, "The Foreign Exchange Matrix" you mentioned--the foreword by Michael J Woolfolk puts currency trading into perfect perspective. No wonder I been struggling with correlations.

Yes, I been long Chenier (CQP) at 20.47, current 24.05. Its an interesting company with fantastic prospects exporting LNG. They have done deals with UK, India etc. But nothing can beat nuclear power in the race to balance trade deficits. I also hold Linn Energy (LINE)fracking, that one is range bound last 9 months.
