An FX trade normally is a macro trade. Are you specifically looking for a non-macro FX trade for some reason?

I'm looking for a second trade idea, ideally of a different flavor.

 

You can't come up with 2 macro trade ideas?

Not yet. I've never studied finance in school and It took me about 2 months to come up with the one I have now. I'm still a nub

Ok start in broad strokes. The biggest thing going on in Macro world is Tapering --> End of ZIRP. Do you think it is a regime change (ie do you think this is for real)? What trades could you do to take advantage of this in Rates? What would the impact be in FX? Would the USD become stronger or weaker against G10? Against EM?

You can come up with a plethora of trades on that concept alone, let's hear em.
