Basically, the carry trade involves going long a high-yielding currency against a low-yielding and is a popular strategy among long term forex traders because they can earn interest on a daily basis. Carry traders love the yen crosses due to the very low JPY interest rate, for example, the GBP/JPY or EUR/JPY cross currency pairs. Carry trades are typically held for several weeks, month, or even years.
How much can you earn?
Daily rollover interest debit/credit Formula
Number of lots (Units) x (base currency interest rate - quote currency interest rate) / 365 days per year x current base currency rate = daily rollover interest debit/credit
GBP/JPY Carry Trade Example
Because UK has 5.75% rate, and Japan has 0.50% rate, this cross is very attractive for carry traders looking for buy opportunities only since they want to earn daily interest on the open trading position. Preferred timeframe's to make trading decisions are daily and weekly charts because they are looking to keep the trade for a longer time period. It really makes no sense to study a 5 min chart to take a carry trade.
