A currency defense is not simply a central bank stepping in. Pegs, bands, and floors are different commitments with different risks and understanding the difference can determine whether a trade survives.

This book reconstructs some of history's most consequential currency defenses: Britain's 1992 ERM collapse, Switzerland's surprise abandonment of the franc floor in 2015, and Japan's ongoing yen intervention campaign. One failed through visible escalation. Another disappeared without warning. Japan presents a different challenge entirely: defending a currency without publishing the level being defended.

At the center is a powerful asymmetry: the cost of waiting while a defense holds versus the potential payoff when it breaks and the danger of assuming a stop-loss guarantees an executable price during a violent currency gap.

The Strike Desk framework turns these lessons into a repeatable process: read the commitment, watch the escalation ladder, and build the position. Every case ends with a practical retail reconstruction covering instrument, entry, sizing, stop, hedge, and exit.

Book Three of The Macro Event Trader series: the trade should be in the documents before it is in the history books.
