Ashraf,

Did I come across as serious? It was an absolute joke (which Qin perceived correctly)! Not sure there even exists an illegal copy of your work. But your reaction is justified, and understood.

As for myself, I've never even Xerox-ed a t/book w/o seeking formal permission from the author (even if I come from a country sporting right-to-copy culture instead of copyright). Ofcourse, others do not know and may have perceived my comment otherwise.

Apologies & I know how to redeem myself..

Hey Asad, I appreciate you sharing trading ideas with people, but don't like it when you suggest getting an illegaly reproduced copy of my book on the Internet. Got that?

Bloke,

Contact someone in China. They would already be having a scanned soft copy available (even before Amazon's hardback came out...and even before Ashraf would've approached the publisher). It's like when the Hollywood movies are 'available' in China even BEFORE they're released worldwide. Know what I mean?

Bloke, no, teh Book is not available on soft copy. It's easily obtainable online from Amazon or other booksellers. As for electronic copy, i have a workbook on real life examples in Intermarket Dynamics, which can be accessed online. here are the details below:

Thank you for your answer,
but the thing is that I can't find the same pair currency returns.

I don't know how you calculate the pairs return but I can find same returns as yours for some pair and completely different for some others.
For instance, for the AUDCHF I can find +24.45% in 1999 (same as yours)
but for the AUDNZD I am at 7.53% in 1999 whereas you are around 30%!
I am using bloomberg data and i calculate simple return (no carry trade effect).
Thank you

fab, i added each year's % increase in JPY vs USD, EUR, AUD, GBP etcc then aggregated all those gains together. so, if say in 2003 JPY rose 15% vs USD, 25% vs GBP and fell 5% vs EUR then aggregate returns for JPY for the 3 is +35%.

i hope this helps

I don't really understand how can calculate a 99% return on the JPY on 1999.
Thank you.
