ACCOUNT BASE CURRENCY CAN AFFECT PROFITS !
When we execute trades in the fx pair spot market we earn profits in various currencies such as euro, usd, yen, pound etc.
But then these profits are converted to the accounts base currency. while converting the exchange rates apply, and we pay spread! !! !!!
That means if u earn profit in cad, u pay spread for gbp/cad if ur accounts base currency is usd, its the best until usd is not falling down.
Any ideas/ views on this friends

Eg, EUR/USD pair,
up trend - long use EUR base acc.
down trend - short use USD base acc.

Probably it is the only way to make it work. Better to have several accounts. Or only trade the currancy of your account.

It reminds me 2 years ago when some smart people from Switzerland came to France to open account into € while EURCHF was around 1.0000.
They got 20% thanks to Forex without trading it o_O
