I think it makes sense to watch what the big boys are doing, but it could be such a long-range goal that it doesn't have a lot of relevance to us lowly intraday guys.

I know we're talking EUR, but something (don't know what) just happened with GBP that caused a big drop, apparently dragging EUR down a bit too.

Bears had been doing an impressive job for the past couple hours, defending 1.16 despite a bunch of attempts to push through. But now that the bulls have finally gotten their foot in the door a bit, I'm wondering if the Bears aren't just gonna slam ...

I recently started keeping a journal about my trading, sometimes listing each individual trade and the logic behind it (in real-time and after the fact). And here's what I wrote in part of my summary for the week: "I did several smaller-than-usual ...

It'll affect it bigly... at least for a couple minutes before and a few minutes after. Then, if the numbers are as predicted, things will probably settle down. But if there's a big miss one way or the other, you'll likely see spikes all over the ...

Yep. For the longest time I couldn't figure out why there were no "small guy" winners in the Swiss Bank crash of Jan '15. We heard all about the losers, literally going FAR beyond just blowing their accounts, literally going WAY into debt. But it ...

Ah, okay... it's just that for me, I can't even imagine looking at a target 300 pips away. Since I try to keep most of my trades really short-term/scalping, even 30 would be a pretty big move for me. If I get 5 to 10 I'm happy.

Just a guess here, but I imagine msniper might actually be referring to what I call "points" (1/10 of a pip). In other words, the targets he's talking about are actually 30 pips, not 300. Again, I'm just assuming.

Hey, in an hour and a half there's gonna be big AUD news... so just wondering if there happens to be a big spike one way or the other, is it likely to drag EUR along with it?

Nope. I opened one more and stayed in for a few minutes, but I'm no longer so sure it's gonna keep dropping. So got out with a teensy weensy "win".
Of course it'll most likely eventually drop off a cliff, and I'll be wishing I had been a ...EURUSD only

I've been short since about 1.1617, but I've done it in an unorthodox way. Instead of just staying with the trade, about every 5 pips I'm like "Okay, that's good enough, it may not go any further," and so I close. Then a few minutes later, after a ...

Umm... I think Trump knows the media, and what a bunch of slime most of them are, better than just about anyone on earth. So I suspect he never says ANYTHING to them, even including "off the record", that he doesn't fully expect to see plastered on ...
