Hi Ozdragon,

I have a note to myself that the British Pound stated trading in London on Jan 1, 1801.

Edit, might as well add the other currencies I wrote down:

  • Euro, started trading in Brussels Jan 1, 2002
  • Swiss Franc, started trading in Zurich July 5, 1850

Thank-you very much. Please forgive my ignorance.. so if I want to cast a 'natal chart' for the forex GBP/USD, this is the date you recommend?
Again, please forgive my ignorance.

I have seen natal charts done for this beginning date. I have also seen it used on a date when there is an extreme low or high when you look at a multi-decade approach.

If you have not seen them yet, there are some old videos that Earik has done in this area. Worth a watch. It is recorded on the older Wave59 release, but the concepts are the same. (Just some new features and refinements over time.)
