I'm in at 89.. going to hold the position through close.

I never understood.. when IB says "Volume: 146,832" what does that truly represent? Because I see the Bid/Ask volume if like 3/13 but I just assume that is how many people want to sell and how many people wantn to buy at a given time...

thomson: "[19:19 EUR/USD: Ticks Up Modestly As Fed Does the Expected] Boston, November 10: Just what the doctor ordered from the Fed; a 25 bp hike and the promise to stay the present course. No surprise there and market reaction should be minimal. 1.2850 is support on dips, 1.2935...

I exited my position as well, but with a -14. Oh well, I think it could have been worse. Still +20 for the day, but that one stung. I think I'm out until the FOMC, too.

From thomson: "Should the Fed suggest rate hikes are on hold in any way the Dollar would slide and keep those long gamma in the game. It's a waiting game at the moment. "

I decided to go long around 1.2877 .. I'm convinced we are going to shoot up again...

Good call. Out of curiousity, what made you decide to go short-mode again?

yee haw! we're in for another tumble and spike! i want in on this one :>

I finally sold around 1.2931 making about +45 ticks today.. but that was cutting it too close :o) (as I saw my buying power slip to 2044 (and IB liquidates at 2000) when it was around 1.2858)

I went long 1.2896, 1.2919, and 1.2930. I held it as it went down to 1.2858, and I would have bought again if I had any resources left in this account. But then I sat there and watched it creep back up .. going to sell soon after I break even through all of this (hopes) edit: not the...

lol, you know the second you do that, it is gonna go to 1.2960 ;o)

Well the sudden drop was definitely unexpected ;o)

I agree. I just wish I had put a little more in. Ahh well. Better to be conservative when first starting out, I always say! :>

"Fresh all time high made at 1.3005 but sharp reversal lower seen from here and the long trade has been stopped on on the dip back below support at 1.2940. The daily charts continue to ignore overbought levels and there remains scope for further topside action. 1.2870 now the next support...

I'm long around 1.2930 for short term as well ;o)

"Boston, November 10: EUR/USD is finding bids around 1.2940/45 but stops are seen gathering near the 1.2930/35 level from short-term momentum types who bought the rally toward 1.3000. We may need to clear these out before taking another topside stab"

but then dropped like a sack of potatoes ;o) hope no one went long-- on a side note, an unfortunate turnout with treasuries :< edit: now EUR is running around with its head cut off. dowh.

I love it when I read bloomberg about currencies.. check this out: ``The Europeans made a decision to send a clear signal that they're not inviting euro buying,'' said Steven Englander, chief currency strategist for the Americas at Barclays Capital Inc. in New York. The euro will weaken to...

So you will most likely get in tonight, say between 1AM - 6AM if you can see a trend (say euro is +13 you will go long before the morning)? Or am I mis-interpreting?

i think tomorrow if you wait for a "big chance" you will miss the boat. kind of like how friday was. maybe i'm wrong though. i have not sat through a FED hike / trade report with the EURO before. but i know that is how it is with the 30yr.
