It actually went up to 78 over the weekends for some reason.

Anyone know what this bond purchases is about???

EURUSD

Yep you too. I still remember that gap on the 23 July. I was long euro and held the position into drawdown to exit with a -50 pip loss just to see it rocket up like a thunderbolt 2 days later.

USD/CAD

Depends if on what they buy really. If they plan on trading forex and just buy a/u then I would say that's dumb because its too volatile. But if they say buy aussie treasury bonds at current 3.9% cash yields like the China sovereign CIC is doing. I ...

Thanks, so far most of them are in the money with eurcad and euraud 150 pips and 100 pips respectively. Hopefully it'll stay that way and keep on trending in my favour.

USD/CAD

Ok did a quick check, I have enough margin for 2088 pip drop. So at least it won't blow my account even if it went to .80. I don't see how this is likely though, the fed has cut interest rates to 0% already and I think going to .80 would require ...

USD/CAD

I'm hoping USDCAD, AUDJPY, CADJPY to go up, EURAUD, EURCAD, GBPAUD, EURJPY, EURUSD, EURNZD to go down. I actually think the euro is gonna go up in the long term but I think its gonna down for the time being. EDIT: I am @@

USD/CAD

Really, that's worrying because I've only backtested 2007-2012 lol. OMG!!!

USD/CAD

Me too, I don't like short aussie because of the carry, if I want to short, short euro and if I want to long, long aussie.

Lol I hope not, but it won't go straight down anyway so plenty of room to take profits when it retraces. Of all the pairs USDCAD and AUSNZD probably ranges the most. That's why I'm averaging up and don't care if it goes down. =D

USD/CAD

Can't believe how right I was about the aussie. Came whipping back in less than a day and now regained all the losses from the RBA drop.... wow.

Well whatever that was, even though the pound was lead the surge its keeping alot of its gains while the euro is diving. I can see my eurgbp short is down 30 pips from an hour ago.

EURUSD

I got a pending short @ 1.234, donno if I should stand aside though....

EURUSD

I seriously doubt anyone here can make 40% consistantly, if they do they'll be even better than Warren Buffet and Takashi Kotegawa combined. And no doubt will be a billionaire with in few years.

EURUSD

I got buy stops and sell stops during that session and I got owned lol. Ranging strategies would of worked nicely since the price whipsawed like hell but of course everything's 20/20 in hindsight.

EURUSD

Damn looks like the "sizable" bids at 50 got filled. Oh well, I'm in for the long haul too.

USD/CAD

I do hope they go lower than 1.224 to set off those sell stops.
