Forgive me for not reading this entire thread before posting (I may not read it at all). Firstly, I used to play poker professionally for years. And when I say "pro", I'm not talking about grinding 50-100k a year... that's peanuts. I've played huge events around the world, cash games...

Stop giving this poster any credit. A simple copy/paste from the book "Blink" does not warrant him any praise. Pathetic that Nutmeg doesn't credit the author.

This guy IS serious... I did it on GBP/JPY for a friend this week. He gave me 11,000 euro and asked me to "push it to the limit". I think all said and done I was short about 2mm. Closed it all out this morning, his account is now 55k euro. done.

Based on your tip I've taken a sizeable short position... thanks!

I'm definitely addicted... or perhaps it's simply love. I have no problem admitting this. Half the reason I trade FX is because it's open 5/24. I love that and it makes the weekens all that more painful but at least Asia opens Sunday night!

Couldn't agree more... if you think this is blood you should be spending your money on a reality check rather than some inflated stocks.

Holding a little more than twice that from 145.31... looking to cover this week (hopefully tomorrow) at 140.00 then watch her and see what she's going to do next. Oh... and I'll be throwing more at her if we print up to 143.00 on this retracement.

Execution speed? LOL, no idea!

Probably should have considering it was a general statement and if you didn't want to hear from me that'd be the only way I'd know it.

Euro bull here... stated my reasons in previous posts if you bother to look back a bit.

Gotcha, that definitely makes sense. Again, I'm not a fundy guy so don't pay much attention to these things. You'd be surprised how technicals magically align with fundamental news. Most of the time the "big boys" are aware of things before they happen and are positioned correctly leaving a...

Right, but I guess my question was more of what do you see as the ramifications?

Mind explaining the iceland stuff? Not sure I follow. And yes, the lepor implication is understood... just messin with ya ;)

Thanksf or the reply. And I agree that perhaps the rest of the world is in more immediate or at least is allowing their problems to be known more immediately. But still, the rest of the world includes China, the UK, etc... many countries with issues that aren't a part of the EU and therefore...

Hi guys, I appreciate your input. My reasons are almost purely technical. I do keep fundamentals in mind but honestly I believe that the problems in the EU are being overblown. EUR/USD volatility has cooled off quite a bit since the initial Greece stuff started. It's yesterday's news and...
