Aws1962 replied Jul 27, 2014Also, on the other side of the equation, we need to consider EUR rates. So here we have the 6month rate, 1year through 5 year forward laddered. (i.e. 6m 5yf is top, 6m 4yf second top etc etc down to 6m 1yf) But importantly, what we can see is how ...

Aws1962 replied Jul 26, 2014CME volumes, which are about the same as Fxall / EBS / reuters have not budged when looking at a 5-period moving average (to smooth out the noise of one data heavy day etc) then again, as said, CME volumes are only the US CTAs and no-one else. ...

Aws1962 replied Jul 24, 2014EURNZD trades at 1.57. If you look at the pay-off, that is exactly where I was targeting. So I've made a tidy profit on that trade in less than 18 hours. EURUSD is squezzing on some decent data... needs to either take 1.35 intra-day. Or close above ...
