I don't EVER try to predict the market because you never can; we are not the ones that determine the market. I just go with the flow and get out until the flow stops.

Why are most retail traders usually on the wrong side of the market?

I think the rise in EU is more due to the depreciating of the Dollar. There were quite a few US economic data this week with Bernanke testifying and all. I think with Banks passing the Stress test which is rumored to be most liikely the case, the EU ...
