Forex for a dummy

A bit over three years ago I decided to short the Aussie dollar. I went into it thinking that it’d be a decent money spinner. And eventually, it was. But I failed to capitalise. With zero money to show, all I can say is that I’m at least a little more learned for my troubles.

The ‘investment’ was a punt to profit from an economy that had (and still has) plenty of downside risk. Non-existent wage growth (for over a decade now), world beating private debt burden, a rapidly unwinding commodity boom, and an economy far too reliant on the populous buying and selling homes from and to each other, seemed to all add up to a negative outlook.

But I don’t think I really considered just how well Australia could tread water. In hindsight, a pretty naïve viewpoint given the entire political/business/economic infrastructure is geared towards keeping this bubble inflated for as long as possible.

The initial position I opened was when the AUD to USD exchange rate was about 76 cents. I sold the equivalent of AUD 200,000 and simultaneously bought USD 152,000.

200,000 might sound like a lot. And it is! But in forex, the contract size is kind of immaterial. With margin, you only need a fraction of the entire contract size, and so for my trade, $2,000 (i.e. 1% of the position) was sufficient.

With that amount of leverage, changes in the value of your account can happen quick. For example, if the AUDUSD exchange rate moved to 76.5 cents (the AUD appreciates), the USD 152,000 is still the same, but it’s now only worth about AUD 198,700. The 0.5 cent appreciation in the exchange rate means losing AUD $1,300. For this reason, you want a bit of a safety buffer. E.g. instead of only having $2,000 in your account, $10,000 means the exchange rate can move quite a bit against you before you get margin called. Still means you lose a lot of money though.

I had always intended to hold the position for the long-term or until facts/things change. When I first entered the trade, the exchange rate proceeded to drop to 75 cents. Pretty great to be up early.

But in short shrift, the Aussie reversed and moved beyond 77 cents. Damn.

With the higher exchange rate, I actually wasn’t too worried and saw it as an additional selling opportunity. I increased my position size by another AUD 50,000 at about 77.5 cents.

The AUD then kept moving against me. Kind of annoying, but I just rationalised that it was a great spot to keep increasing my position.

It kept going up.

For all my calculations on how much I’d be willing to lose, I don’t think I had adequately accounted for just how much of a psychological weight it would be to be to be down such a significant amount of coin.

At about the 81 cent level, I decided to eat part of the (significant) losses and downsize my position. It was definitely a miscalculation in terms of how much I was willing to lose. Not so much financially, but psychologically; I just wasn’t prepared to keep seeing my account size dwindle as the AUD kept appreciating to who-knows-what??

…But as is often the case with these types of things, almost as soon as I downsized my position the AUD rally was effectively over.

Since that high point of about 81 in late 2017, the AUD has remained stubbornly strong. But it (very) gradually fell to the mid-70s and eventually into the high-60s by the time I arrived in Japan in November, 2019.

Having downsized my position to just under AUD 200k, the breakeven point of my trade was no longer 76 cents. It was about 74.5 cents (owing to the fact that my position size was larger on the way up, and smaller on the way down).

But 74.5 cents isn’t really the breakeven. For every day I held the position, I had to pay the differential in interest rates of the US FED and Australian RBA plus a small commission. Those small costs add up over time, and are equivalent to be about 1.5 cents of exchange rate movement per annum. So, after year 1 breakeven moved from 74.5 to 73, and then down to 71.5 after year 2, etc.

Anyway, at the beginning of 2020, I was up. Not a stupendous amount, but not bad. But I had definitely paid less and less attention to it. The position was just sitting there, ticking away. I had thought to increase the size at a few points, but neglected to. Plus, being in Japan, I was adding to my AUD short position via saving yen.

But then everything kind of went crazy. COVID.

Risk off was definitely an understatement. Money was flowing from all corners of the world back to the relative safe haven of the US. In an incredibly short span of time, the AUD moved from the high- to mid-60s, to the low-60s, crashed through into the 50s and looked like it would basically fall forever.

It went all the way down to 55 cents (briefly), and I was up big. But, I didn’t exit. Why exit if it’s going to keep falling, right?

On the subsequent rally, there was always an excellent chance that COVID could kick off again, and that the AUD would start tumbling down again, way past that 55 cent recent low. But, no.

I had first thought to exit around the mid-60s on its way back up, but still thought that there was an excellent chance the AUD could turn south. Not to be, though. The virus is still wreaking havoc, but the amount of central bank and government stimulus has meant that markets have almost all miraculously recovered (at least for the short-term).

I was still pondering whether to exit the trade. And I finally did when the Reserve Bank released a statement saying that they, unlike all other central banks, would not do anything akin to quantitative easing. The scarcity of the AUD (relative to other money printing crazed central banks) combined with a large amount of China stimulus to buy Aussie Iron ore, meant that the AUD was primed to take-off.

With my trading ego shattered, I closed the trade about 6 weeks ago when the exchange rate was at about 71 cents. Since then, it has rallied to over 74 cents (vindication), but has since fallen back to the 70s. It was actually a relief more than anything to exit the trade. For my 3 years of trouble, my account was up about 100 bucks. Ha, slightly better than a mattress. Needless to say though, my account was a lot larger when the exchange rate was in the 50s!

I’m open to opening the position again. Nothing has really changed about the Australian economy, and so I still think the AUDUSD is headed down over the long-term. But for the minute, the COVID shock will be the most influential factor, and it’s hard to know how things will play out. So, I’m staying out. At least out of forex anyway.

In Japan times, work was actually pretty busy up until a few weeks ago. But I then took a bit over a week off and cycled round Lake Biwa near Kyoto. The weather was actually pretty rubbish, but decent enough for clear riding on a couple of days. I pulled the plug on going the whole way though, once the rain started to plummet.

Unfortunately, no camera. I was trying to travel as light as possible, and with most things I was carrying in a back pack, it wasn’t super waterproof. Really need to get some sort of rack/bag solution, because my shoulders were destroyed after multiple days in the saddle. Despite less than ideal conditions and set-up, it was actually super cool. Some amazing country side that I’m keen to go back and see more of.

The bike has definitely been great to explore Tokyo with, but it’s really only now that the weather is conducive. August and most of September were ridiculous in terms of heat. Couldn’t go anywhere without quickly being drenched in sweat. Right now though, perfect. Will make the most of it before the snow starts to fall. And then make the most of that, too!

Theresa May to step down, Boris Johnson to become U.K. prime minister, in elaborate transition of power

Karla Adam

London correspondent covering the United Kingdom

July 24 at 9:34 AM

The British government is in transition on Wednesday, as Prime Minister Theresa May steps down and Boris Johnson takes her place. Here’s how the day will unfold:

●In her last remarks in front of 10 Downing Street, May wished success to Johnson and encouraged young girls who have seen her as a model to think “there are no limits to what they can achieve.”

●May will now submit her resignation to Queen Elizabeth II at Buckingham Palace.

●Johnson will formally become prime minister following his own audience with the queen.

●Johnson will deliver his first speech at Downing Street and begin to form his cabinet.

LONDON — The transition of power in Britain’s parliamentary democracy is brutal — and lightning quick. The United Kingdom is not without a premier for more than an hour. Outgoing Prime Minister Theresa May will curtsy to the Queen Wednesday afternoon and resign. Boris Johnson will bow and be asked to form a new government.

When Johnson walks through the black enameled door of 10 Downing Street on Wednesday afternoon, he will fulfill what his biographers describe as his relentless “blond ambition” to follow his hero, Winston Churchill, into Britain’s top job.

He will immediately face the buzz saw of Brexit. And although his supporters hope the charismatic Johnson will rally a divided Parliament and a divided country in a way that Theresa May failed to do, he comes into office as a controversial leader, not especially well-liked by most Brits.

Johnson — a bombastic, Latin-quoting Oxford classicist with a mop of intentionally mussed yellow hair — made his name as an over-the-top journalist and a colorful London mayor. He then galvanized the successful Brexit campaign in 2016, which won him many fans and many enemies.

[Who is Boris Johnson? Everything you need to know about Britain’s next prime minister.]

On Wednesday, the transition began when May appeared in the House of Commons for her last session of prime minister’s questions, a weekly exchange between the ruling government and the opposition, as tradition dictates, “two sword lengths apart.”

Lawmakers thanked May for her term and her 33 years in public service. The harshest lines were reserved for Johnson, whom opposition rivals called “flagrant” and “reckless,” a usurper with no mandate, and someone who is prepared to “sell our country out to Donald Trump and his friends.”

May offered tepid support for her successor, said she was “pleased” to hand over to Johnson, whom “I worked with when he was in my cabinet,” and who is committed to delivering Brexit. Johnson notably quit May’s cabinet over her handling of Brexit.

When May herself came under attack, she gave as good as she got.

Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn laid into her — saying that under her tenure, child poverty was up, pensioner poverty was up, school class size was up, food bank use was up. May retorted that she was proud of her record. She then lowered her head, eyeballed Corbyn and poked him with her horns: “As a party leader who has accepted when her time was up, perhaps the time is now for him to do the same.”

Jo Swinson, the new leader of the ascendant Liberal Democrats party, asked May if she had any advice for “women across the country on how to deal with those men who think they could do a better job but are not prepared to do the actual work.”

May smiled but didn’t take the bait — if that’s what it was — to make any references to Johnson. Instead, she offered: “Be true to yourself, persevere and keep going.”

Harriet Harman, the longest-serving female member of the House, honored May as Britain’s second female prime minister. But Harman added a sly reference to May’s rocky relationship with President Trump: “Sometimes you just have to be a bit more careful when a man wants to hold your hand.”

Although May had a relatively short tenure for a British prime minister, she noted that she had answered more than 4,500 questions over the course of 140 hours in the House of Commons.

After she steps down as leader, May will return to the backbenches of Parliament as an ordinary and not very influential lawmaker. This is far different from the tradition in the United States, where a former president scoots offstage to write memoirs, deliver speeches and build a library. In May’s case, she will back in the House of Commons after the summer recess, asking questions of Johnson.

Outside the Palace of Westminster on Wednesday, Fleet Street was in a tizzy over possible picks for Johnson’s team — including the “great offices of state” — the chancellor, foreign secretary and home secretary — and what they could mean for Brexit and his style of governing. Johnson has just 99 days to find a Brexit solution. Otherwise, he has warned that Britain might accept the economic risk of leaving the bloc without a withdrawal agreement or transition period.

Will Johnson lean toward compromise? Or tilt toward a ‘no deal’ Brexit? The lineup of his top team could also signal whether he intends to govern, as he suggested on the campaign trail, like he did as mayor of London, where he was known as a liberal Conservative.

Johnson awoke Wednesday to a pile of British newspapers on his doorstep announcing his victory — some celebratory, some not. The Metro tabloid went with “Don’t Panic!” as an all-caps headline. The Express front page read, “Hang Onto Your Hats. Here Comes Boris!”

Next on the schedule: May has arrived at Buckingham Palace, where she will tender her resignation to Queen Elizabeth II and recommend Johnson as the person who can command the confidence of the House of Commons.

After May’s car leaves the palace, one carrying Johnson will arrive for a ceremony known as “kissing hands.”

In the movie “The Queen,” starring Helen Mirren, the actor playing Tony Blair kissed the hand of the monarch, but in reality, there’s more likely to be shaking hands. Theresa May shook hands and curtsied — deeply — during her meeting with the queen when she became prime minister.

Johnson will be the queen’s 14th prime minister. Over the course of her long reign, Elizabeth II has seen them come and go: Winston Churchill, Anthony Eden, Harold Macmillan, Alec Douglas-Home, Harold Wilson, Edward Heath, James Callaghan, Margaret Thatcher, John Major, Tony Blair, Gordon Brown, David Cameron, Theresa May and now Johnson.

Much attention today will focus on his remarks after he leaves the palace. The first speech a prime minister delivers is heavily scrutinized and often long remembered.

For her first speech as prime minister, May talked of tackling “burning injustices” in society and leading a government that worked for everyone, not the “privileged few.” Those promises for a Tory-led “social justice” program were often thrown back in her face, when May mostly failed to address those issues. She was consumed with Brexit. The same could happen to her successor.

Matt Hancock, a Conservative politician who has been helping with Johnson’s campaign, told the BBC he expected Johnson’s speech to include “a surprising amount of detail, especially on the domestic agenda.” He said that, at the same time as delivering Brexit, Johnson wanted to focus on domestic issues and pointed out that on the campaign trail Johnson spoke about education, social care and policing.

Once prime minister, Johnson is expected to start naming his new team and new cabinet. Johnson has said he wants a cabinet rich with pro-Brexit voices — with each chair filled by someone who is okay with the incoming prime minister’s vow, that if he does not get the Brexit deal he wants from Europe, then Britain will crash out with no deal.

Johnson handily won the leadership contest on Tuesday. The former foreign secretary Johnson captured 92,153 votes to current foreign secretary Jeremy Hunt’s 46,656 — a decisive victory.

But the vote involved only dues-paying members of the Conservative Party. A mere 139,000 people cast ballots in a country of 66 million. A lot of Britons feel left out at a pivotal moment. On social media, #NotMyPM was one of the many Johnson-related hashtags trending. A YouGov survey found that 58 percent of Brits have a negative opinion of Johnson — a wicked-high number for a first day on the job.

The 55-year-old Johnson will take up residence at Downing Street. His 31-year-old girlfriend, Carrie Symonds, a former Conservative Party communications official and a top Tory spinner, may move in over the weekend, according to British news reports. Expect a lot of tabloid interest in this unprecedented arrangement.

When Johnson clocks in, he will face an overflowing in-box of items that need urgent attention, including a showdown in the Persian Gulf with a belligerent Iran. The two countries have been in a tense standoff since Britain impounded an Iranian tanker suspected of sending oil to Syria, and Iran retaliated by seizing a British-flagged oil tanker last week.

Politics watchers are keen to see whether Johnson continues Britain’s effort to salvage the 2015 deal designed to discourage Iran from developing nuclear weapons, or whether he bends to U.S. pressure to impose sanctions on Iran.

But Johnson’s main challenge will be getting Britain out of the European Union.

May’s failure to deliver Brexit on time was the reason her Tory lawmakers ousted her.
