A Case Study: "The Risk Trade":

Our video above highlights how you can trade "The Risk Trade" using some of these concepts. The "Risk Trade" has been active since around 2008, where you often see traders going in one of two directions: 

• "RISK ON":
• • LONG: stocks, commodity currencies, energy, metals, agriculture
  • SHORT: bonds, non-commodity/safety currencies
• "RISK OFF":
• • LONG: bonds, non-commodity/safety currencies
  • SHORT: stocks, commodity currencies, energy, metals, agriculture
