Assignment  discussion,  T1.2016  

 

Sophistication  and  management  of  the  trading  strategy:  

1. Timing  of  the  trades:  how  many  days  in  total  have  you  been  trading?   2. Mix  of  instruments:  have  you  tried  day  trading,  limit  orders  and  forward  transactions?   3. The  number  of  currencies:  have  you  traded  too  many  currencies?   4. Fund  allocation:  have  you  allocated  too  much  fund  for  certain  transactions?   5. Risky  trades:  why  gold/oil/index  trades?   6. Too  many  unexpected  losses:  any  lesson(s)  learned?  

Use  of  theoretical  tools:  

7. Apply  the  theory,  not  explain  it  again.   8. Justify  why  you  applied  the  theory  in  different  context.     9. No  need  to  show  graphs  (can  just  cite  the  sources  such  as  textbook/lecture  slides).   10. Technical  analysis:  be  sure  to  explain  if  you  have  used  (including  sources).  

Research  and  external  sources:    

11. Have  you  done  a  comprehensive  research?   12. Have  you  missed  some  important  news/events?   13. Have  you  tried  to  justify  transactions  according  to  news/events?  

Use  of  trade  and  risk  management  tools:  

14. Active  use  of  take-­‐profit/stop-­‐loss  functions.   15. Justify  the  effectiveness  of  these  tools.   16. Options:  be  sure  to  explain  if  you  have  traded.  

Presentation/clarity  of  expression/referencing:  

17. Cover  sheet:  have  you  supplied  all  information  as  required?   18. Executive  summary:  have  you  supplied  all  information  as  required?   19. Appendix:  have  you  supplied  all  information  as  required?   20. Analysis:  have  you  tried  to  show  the  link  between  transactions  and  the  theory?   21. Citation  and  referencing:  have  you  followed  a  consistent  style?   22. Expression  of  ideas,  terminologies:  have  you  been  satisfied  with  the  report’s  quality?
