This plunge that just hit missed me because i closed out my over leveraged positions for the day. Crazy move with pretty much no volume. Looks like someone shit a brick and dumped all their Euros soon as Asia opened. I'd expect a retrace though.
As they say, this is how markets are made as our opinions differ.
Every time i try to rationalize a trend from fundamentals it always bucks me. Right now we are poised for a massive break downward on the EUR USD. However since it is August we may range or drift higher so if we don't pass...
Not bad for a piker eh?
Still think we are going much further south over the course of the next month or two to around 1.45.
Edit:
It is amazing to me on other forums how many people are in denial that the USD strengthening is underway. Many can't believe we are this low and looking...

I live in Michigan and as you may guess it's pretty much dead here. I want to pursue the CFA to open doors for me. My career path is to eventually trade for a living. And i understand a CFA does not improve trading and is essentially worthless however in the real world degrees and...

wow...just found this thread.
Interesting to see how i thought almost 3 years ago. Where am i at now?
Graduated college, probably going back to do a masters in accounting, i refuse to do sales at a bank which is all i'm getting offered atm.
I came to the conclusion that starting with...
I'm not a newb to stocks or the market in general, just a 100% newb to options.
So let's say i think i'm pretty savvy and with 10k i want to take advantage of short term trends with options. The strategy calls for catching up or down trends that can range from 1-3 months.

Whew, good thing i took profits.
My long is working out well now too, i knew these bulls weren't done.

I'll post a chart later.
Summary:
Took short profits going into the weekend with a light long to feel out the market and will re evaluate come monday. I think the bear usd's are going to have a little bit of a fight left and i expect a bounce upward next week. Still a short bias and...
