Fader, thanks for the link to this thread. You mentioned Benjamin before, but I couldn't fin the thread. Itwas a bit hard to get to the essence of how he approaches the market. It is interesting, but I don't think I could make it work.

Fader, do you have a good sense about how bond yield curves impact the market? I read this on Mark Chandler's blog, but I need to figure out how to read the bond market and structure forex trades. Marc Chandler: "In the currency market, on a purely ...

Given Trump's rhetoric, it is just a matter of time. I must admit that I have been out of sync with the market for the past two weeks. I haven't been able to grasp sentiment for anything.

That looks like a good trade. I am still getting used to the idea that the euro can be a safe haven...It is amazing how much things can changed.

Fader, Which trades did you take this week? Just trying to get a sense of what you were thinking about. I stayed on the sidelines. I might have missed two trades though: 1) I fell asleep before the RBA rate decision; 2) After the Democratic Party ...

Great analysis. I think you are right, but I am still concerned by the new government in NZ. I am expecting a few early hiccups as this coalition tries to govern. NZD has been losing against the USD, EUR, and GBP since early August. Was that ...

Today we got a mixed report: 260k new jobs, but no increase or decrease in AHE. This is not enough to significantly alter the path towards hiking. Besides, the December FOMC statement won't be released until Dec. 13 or so. We will have another NFP ...

Yeah, the Brexit negotiations are going poorly now. That is one of the big reasons that the BOE is only projecting 2 hikes in the next three years. Perhaps, some positive Brexit news over the next few month's will move the market.

Lordgbengs, your post hits at an important question: What should we focus on? For me, I have to simply things, and only focus on the big issues. But, I also have to be able to answer this question: what's on the market's mind today, and this week? ...

I know that the BOE's rate decision is at the top of the market's mind, but I also think that today's FED decision can be market moving if the FED sends a strong signal about hiking OR not hiking in December. Even if it isn't, I want to make sure ...

For me, understanding interest rate expectations and central bank guidance is essential. It takes some reading and studying before it really starts to make sense. After two or three months of studying it should make sense. TBH, analyzing the ...

Nice trade. Congrats!! How do you like Ransquawk? How do you use it in your trading approaches? I wonder if you can use it on a smartphone?

Looks like profit-taking before the close of the London session before the weekend. The kiwi has been down essentially 9 days in a row. The loonie has been up 7 days in a row. We just might be getting started, too. Here is what one of my favorite ...

Numbnuts' posts are Fundamentals Trading 101. Fader's posts are Fundamentals Trading 201. Numbnuts taught me how to use fundamentals to analyze and evaluate currencies. Fader has taught me how to execute trades using my knowlege of the fundamentals.

I must admit that I was caught off guard by the strong move against the euro based upon the plan announced. Looks like I might have taken my eyes off the prize: interest rates. Kathy Lien provides a pretty good rationale for the huge drop: "More ...

The US GDP quarterly numbers are going to be released tomorrow. They are important because GDP numbers are always important. However, quarterly numbers hold more weight. Tomorrow's numbers are also important because they are the last major economic ...

Hahaha...It has been a great two weeks. I am in two trades that are up about 250 pips combined right now. Because they are USD trades, I am going to have to figure out how to protect some profits against a big move if the US GDP numbers miss ...

Fader, in some of your earlier posts you mentioned the need to pay attention to end of the month flows. Any thoughts about what you are looking at as October comes to an end?

To be honest, I don't have a good sense of the downsize. That is the major reason why I stayed out. I am going to watch it closely because I want to be ready when the BOE follows this path. I had planned to study what happened when the FED ...

Welcome! If you are new to thinking about the fundamentals, here is what I found to be most helpful: read all of "fader123" and "numbnuts" posts. They are better than any book I have read. Take notes, and study them. I have incorporated many of ...
