Hi folks,
If you have deeper long-term fundamental knowledge, I'd like to hear your recommendation for what currency one should hold his trading account in these days.
My broker offers the following currencies for trading accounts: AUD, USD, EUR, GBP, NZD, JPY, CHF, SGD.
Until now I held my account in EUR but I'm afraid my capital will further loose value due to the continuing euro crisis.
I thought about CHF or JPY. What do you think about these two? In case of a Euro crash, would CHF be negatively affected or not?
Thanks.
Kay

Obviously Euro and USD are the top 2 choices, so at this point I would go with USD. However, if USD would crash also, I'm not sure which way to go as then the effect on the other currencies would be probably very drastic.

That isn't very reassuring advice... The difference between the Euro and other currencies is that there IS the possibility of it disappearing forever. You won't find that with USD, or most other currencies for that matter.

what will happen to USD when China stop buying US Tressury Bonds ( US has >10 trillion $ debt )
there is always risk on any curr.
if you are not speculator always stay your home currency ( spending currency )
if you spend by USD stay at USD if you spend in EURO stay in EURO ...................

guys
it we are talking about trading, yes I would do the same as James advised.
but if a trader can not even make profit to cover his fund losses due to curr then why trade?

I was looking at that chart as well and saw the actual price near support level.
I live in Greece and there is a lot of talk about Greece, that it will finally exit the Euro Zone (some say it might even happen as early as next month). My concern is that the Euro might crash in case of a 'Grexit' which would make it break the support level and plunge quite low.
I also know about the economic situation in the US and would rather not have USD as my account currency.
The question actually is, IF the Euro crashes, which other currency or currencies are more stable and would be less negatively affected by such a crash.

I agree too.
But unfortunately I can't select 'land' as my account currency 😁

I don't think there will be a currency which isn't affected by a Euro meltdown - there would be most likely those who're affected less, however all currencies should be affected. This is quite a scary scenario to have.

true, solution: 1 currency for the entire world.
That way, we can all crash together at the same rate :)

This is a lazy question. You can make money from any currency pair. You need to briefly review all currency pairs and monitor which ones appear to have a good amount of recent volume.
When you see one that looks like it will be making some significant size moves, trade it.
It really isn't that hard to figure out. You have to do the work yourself.

It's not the market. It's not the spread. It's not slippage. It's not the broker. It's not the system. It's YOU. Once you stop whining and making excuses, you can start winning.

If one day the euro crashes, there would be NO safe currencies left. Everybody will be flocking to gold. For the time being, holding some CHF will be good if you are REALLY concerned about the erosion of value in your euro.
Good trading!

I agree, however even if that happens you can't know how long will it take and when to switch to gold. In the end, no currency is safe, not even gold.
