I really don't see that I'd have much to add to what I wrote and I'm not looking for fights, either, so I'm not adding anything to that stuff. I just wanted to say that despite last week's end, the USDX is still sitting on the flip zone that's been ...

EUR/USD Trading Room

I'll say ooops even though I didn't short the BEOB and kept selling USD(not just vs EUR) the last few weeks I do think though that you can't deny a kind of group dynamic, randomness and "what should I do" factor that comes from being a novice ...

Jacko's Forex House of Pleasure and Pain

Exactly. What you are seeing is the combined result of individual euro and cable. That's why it's a lot of use. IMHO. Two things. One, if the EURUSD / EURGBP correlation holds up, the two will continue in tandem and answer both questions for ...

Well said (chart comments) Jim. I (also) believe that it's not just the knowing-knowing("Ach yes, sure, I know I shouldn't have, but..."), it's the really KNOWING, and therefore upon this realization then actually DOING the right things. And only ...

If you read all of the 3800+ posts about "cool ideas" regarding, filtering, trading 30M, exiting after 10 pips and wrapping it inside of 50 EAs and indicators, then you have by far more heart, will and nerves than I will ever have.

Cesarnc's market talk, gossips, rumours & fun

Indeed. On that thought - there has to be a next boom then, too, no? I'm currently actually pondering whether or not there's any sense in unleveraged bargains in the low numbers. The last bargain buy was the last Iraq war, when the DAX hit 2xxx ...

6 hours later...we got sudden moves Teehee...hope everyone got some Next week will be interesting indeed. If we can get EURGBP to break out above 0.8 alongside (which, frankly, I expect, as it's tied very closely to EURUSD) then we'll see some ...

EUR/USD Trading Room

There was a really great article with lots of FA and even TA saying why GBPUSD should be weak. Cable didn't read it I guess. Or just disagreed. I just bought as price dictated. Attentive folks in the J16 thread also caught on I think =) I hope you ...

I've posted this one somewhere along the line. Long term charting is entertaining, but, takes a, er, long time to show it works Bit like a sitcom though, no? Please note that the likely turnaround points / targets / reaction zones were put in ...

I'm sure this has been posted somewhere down the line, but if not, here's my opinion about IBs. (Since these have been so popular everywhere lately ) In a PA context IBs are supposed to represent indecision. And to me(read: personal opinion ...

Just looks like a total mess right now, but, to me, still with a tendency to keep probing higher. Intraday behavior is by far not decisive enough on average though and it's more of a nothing-nothing-nothing-nothing-POP..nothing-nothing-nothing-POP. ...

Stuck between 1.03 and 0.98. Preferably don't trade the middle, but the extremes(i.e. the borders of the range only). In case of breakout, look for a setup.

Understanding the state of an economy and rate bias has nothing to do with independent, immediate use for trading. You can have a general idea from that just as well as from looking at the last 7 years of a chart for getting a direction. The point I ...
