I assumed that the IDR appreciating against USD in the last few months is mainly due to the flow of funds from US to Indonesia which are place in financial instruments such as government bonds and equities. If this is the case, we have to prepare for a significant IDR correction in the near term.

Hi
Thank you very much for a great blog!
I am a blogger too and I have tried several affiliate programs to make some money from blogging, such as Forex Yard, E-toro, and Earn Forex.
By far the best program I came across so far is a Cashback program where you get a discount on all your trades. I use it myself and last month I got $270 in cashback from trading two Alpari Uk accounts with a deposit of about $5000 in total. Spreads remain the same so it is essentially “free money” if you are already trading.
This is the best thing: for every person you recruit to this program you receive 10% of their cashback discount on their trading forever! Two months ago I got $700 from people that has joined the program through me and last month I got $900, and this is just from about 30-50 accounts.

Maybe this could be something for you to promote on the blog or even write about in your next newsletter to your subscribers.
Many of the well known brokers are connected to the program such as:
Alpari UK
Alpari US
Avafx
Dukascopy
Etoro
FXCBS
FXCM
FXDD
Fxopen
GallantFX
Liteforex
Marketiva
PFG
Tadawul FX
Good luck!
Best Regards,
Mike
