Thanks for the backgrounds.. So lets see if there will be some effects. Some volatility and a "direction" would be OK for me as well The FinReg stuff with the reduced leverage was really surprising to me. Most surprising that the US started it ...

Think that was a good decision to get out of that trade. I only managed to get some 20 pips + a BE trying to catch a bit of that retrace... I also had a short EU from last night @ 1.3930. First half cashed in earlier today for 110. Rest BE now. It ...

Hi Seifo. So did I today. 220 on the first half. Took us a week to find the way down there but nevermind. green pips are green pips Might retrace a bit from the current levels so maybe there is a chance to re-enter next week. We will see.

Hi Flow, That was a spike up there now. Now I know why I was cautious to go for a short earlier :o If you were in the trade I hope you had a SL in place or adjusted your position size if going with a wider stop. I just went for a lil short from ...

Hi Flow, I am a bit unsure about the Kiwi at the moment. Wonder how it holds up vs. the dollar today while almost every others decline... 7560 as resistance did hold pretty well once again. But what makes me cautious is the broken UTL of that ...

Heya Seifo, Ya. That EUR/GBP dropped nice today. Good I didn't trail my stop too early last week when the trade was @ +50 already and then came back up to a new high yesterday. So patience is what we need. Trailed my SL to BE now and cashed in a ...

Did you get into some shorts? Retest of weekly pivot this morning just before Euro-Session opened. A bit risky to enter a trade at this time of the day. But I went for it. --> Short from 1.3968 after a first reaction on the weekly pivot. Nice drop ...
