Carry Trade Strategy
Carry trade allows to make a profit from the non-volatile and stable market, since here it rather matters the difference between the interest rates of currencies; the higher the difference, the greater the profit. While deciding what currencies to trade by this strategy you should consider the expected changes in the interest rates of particular currencies.
However, this does not mean that the price changes between the currencies are absolutely unimportant. Thus, you can invest in a currency because of its high interest rate, but if the currency price drops and you close the trade, you may find that even though you have profited from the interest rate you have also lost from the trade because of the difference in the buy/sell price. Therefore, carry trade is mostly suitable for trendless or sideways market, when the price movement is expected to remain the same for some time.
