Rahm is apparently no neo-conservative... http://www.ontheissues.org/IL/Rahm_Emanuel_HouseMatch.htm http://www.ontheissues.org/IL/Rahm_Emanuel_Foreign_Policy.htm The only seemingly disconcerting thing is his attitude on "information warfare", where he seemingly does not support civil...

The most interesting moves will come if NFP is worse than -300k ... lots of whipping motions all European session, and the only thing that kind of "worked" was upping leverage and going for smaller, faster scalping targets. If NFP is less than -200k then it will become more boring and...

Expecting a little stalling below 126.80-127 according to earlier trading today, but upside towards 130 is probable. Exited longs for now, as I need to do other stuff. Nice day for trading, and tomorrow will be USD slaughter most probably.

Hehe, what comparatively exports, manufacturing has the UK compared to the other large EU economies? Also, the housing bubble was very bad in the UK and Spain. Rumours that Trichet might step down -- that would give some impulse to EURUSD no doubt.

Ivanovich, that is true - the newer European markets are taking a heavy hit - but they are still in much better shape than the UK. Spain and Italy are in deep shit, but otherwise it's not that bad really. Sarkozy is on the rampage, while it seems the varied outlooks in Europe will also be the...

The US and UK economy are down and counting... The UK has no manufacturing, exports or anything to fall back on - unlike most of the Eurozone countries. More skilled workers in Germany than in the UK, so it is inherently much stronger than the UK. Also, there was not a housing bubble in...

The next 100 minutes until the US open will be erratic, more of those whipsaws we have been seeing from before and intermittent the EU open. I chickened out of the 125.60 limit buy, since I had already gotten a +50 short on the EURJPY - hehe, I gathered that if it was coming down, why not put...

Nice action on EURJPY and EURUSD, and probably the GBP crosses too. ECB in 30 minutes and it seems to be interesting, along with US NFP employment figures tomorrow. Nice to see the service steady in this whipsaw action. My entry timings are great, but my exits could be better here - too small...

Pretty staunch taking a -90pips drawdown and still holding, and even adding to average down. I do this as well, but in faster moving markets where I am in some sort of swing range trade, but can't get the timing entry correct. However, I never settle for so large drawdowns in fast trades - as...

Most of the conservative "seniors" in the US lived through the racist segregation US society, and yesterday more than 2/3rds of new voters voted for Obama. The republican party is literally fucked in it's foundations. They have stuck the bill to the younger generations, and the free ride the...

Long EURJPY at 126.93 , target 129, stop 126.40 . Did a couple of short scalps earlier, but now it looks like it can go back up. Stopped at trailing stop 127.40 for +47pips , will re-enter if it still looks good. EURUSD still seems confined in range up to 1.29 and US RTH coming closer...

NeoRio1, you called yourself a "socially liberal" in another thread, when I hinted you may be a conservative, but what exactly is "liberal" about you? Does it mean you like gay people or something? I still think it looks like you are similar to neoconservatives.

I was in short mood for a few days, but have been long today since I got the news about better USD liquidity in Europe provided by ECB etc, easing lending for banks etc. I think I will be mainly long biased for the rest of the week as well. I did a small short above 1.30 on EURUSD and...

achilles28, on EURUSD and EURJPY I have at least a -20pip stop loss, even for short timeframe trades. I quickly adjust this when I get the trade set though, since I don't want the potential setup to fade away and some other movement coming along. If the setup goes into a delayed move, I...

BernardRichards, skinheads and neo-nazis can be Christians as well. This is especially true for those in the US, where everyone seemingly are easily fundamentalist Christians. I remember seeing some US based neo-nazi site when googling one day, where they were quarreling between atheists...

EURJPY is being very nice today, and absolutely leading the way for EURUSD and USDJPY most of the time, with USDJPY sometimes in the lead. It seems EURUSD has been marginalized the last few days with so much focus on the BoJ and MoF. There are not the 1000pip moves, but EURJPY is definitely...

Another thing that I have been doing for some fast moving scalps is that I add to the trade (double up) for a small portion or better if it goes well, so that I secure the risk of the original trade. I.e if I start a trade with -20pips stop loss and a +100pips target, but the trade progresses...

Loderunner, actually, I think there is something of a division between the skinheads and neo-nazis. There are the Christian ones and then the are the heathen ones - and they probably quarrel a lot - perhaps even with those who are not religious. Racism goes very easily with...

Gord, I am not religious - and I don't think of anyone as "good or evil." :p As for specific actions - those are different. See the writings of Isaac Asimov and Mortimer Adler for some insightful stuff. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secular_humanism...
