i dont think that theres a lot of correlation, but have to look it up somewhere. the biggest correlation for the dax is the s&p, dji, nas. they are moving the dax.

because the sma 50 on the 30min shows the eurusd is going down, and i like to stick to my positions longer. now im in this one since ~24h but maybe its a good idea to play a reaction in eurusd. maybe with a short usdchf? what do you think?

im not trailing. im still short in eurusd, +63pips at the moment. i have no stop in the market. looking at the spikes at 8:30 this was a good idea. i hate being thrown out of the trade by those spikes

maybe we will see some action tomorrow after the cpi. at the moment im looking at the dax. rax likes the dax. last night in after hours trading it was down to ~3750 and with the us rally in the afternoon it came back to ~3810 within two hours. that was a nice move...

the eurusd seems to be asleep. baruch, are you in the market?

at least the equity markets are showing some volatility

really not much going on in eurusd. i will stay on the short side.

a 200 pips rally sounds great to me! baruch how will you position yourself? play the dollar rally before the news?

hi all, what do you think will be the reactions to the data today? we have at 8:30 - retail sales - initial jobless claims - ppi and then later mr greenspan speaking. i think the news will point to more inflation/rate hike. that should be a long usd signal. maybe in eurusd the...

no.

i think cashing in on winners is always a good idea. sometimes when im thinking about going flat i pick a pair with a close to -1 correlation to have a hedge for my profits in the market. eg the usdchf for eurusd, but of course its not perfect -1 correlation and second its not 1 pip = 1 pip in...

closed short in usdchf +93pips, short eurusd @ 1,1900 sorry baruch, im overflooding your thread.

oh, i forgot: massive use of derivatives is very important as well.

great idea: start a hedge fund, raise $ 10 bln, hire some noble prize winners, let them develop the holy grail system, leverage your money 30:1, trade swaps and junk bonds, and blow the whole us financial system up and take the rest of the world with you. time for some action! just...

as i said i went flat for eurusd, and brought home some nice 200+ pips - securing my profit. im keeping my short in usdchf which moved up from +20pips before the news to +105pips at the moment. looking to short the eurusd later today and close the swissie but i missed all the action in...

baruch, never mind. i wouldnt say you were wrong, you just played it save before the news.

baruch, its never too late! but maybe you want to be on the eurusd short side, rather than on the long side, later today.

$-46bln rather :eek:

trade bal $46 bln flat eurusd staying short usdchf
