Bush is saying it again specifically mentioning the EUR/USD exchange rates.

Market News attributes the spike to Pres. Bush comments saying that markets set FX rates. 12:21PM Edit--Bush is live on CNN doing Q&A with Berlusconi.

I don't know if the market is going to care but Snow has a string of interviews this afternoon. "Snow is scheduled to punctuate his attendance at the White House economic conference with a series of live television interviews beginning at 12:20 p.m. EST, including CNN, MSNBC, CNBC and...

Chinook, Aren't you worried that you are going to miss the big moves after economic releases by waiting till 8:40 eastern to enter? I got 30 pips fading the spike this morning and was out by the time you get in. Edit-- Also why program it in tradestation? Doesn't IB have a good API...

Rewrite your resume and cover letter. I got a response less than 24 hours after sending out resumes. Most Chicago prop shops always are on the look out for new blood so if you didn't get any responses something must be wrong. Have someone else read over your stuff also; sometimes it's easy to...

Snow stays as treasury secretary.

I like the "Silly season is in full swing" part. :)

Nice thought, but I think we are moving to a cashless society. ATM cards have a Visa logo and no one can tell it from a credit card. It depends where you live but there are some cities in the US where the only reason to carry cash is to use a vending machine or pay a parking meter, where other...

Rollover usually isn't "scheduled" until the pit opens and for currency futures it can take a couple of days for people to get it together and roll.

But now you have us curious, what does oef stand for?

I didn't mean poor as in not having much money; I meant poor guy as in someone who sounded like they were were going to fall for GlobalFX's lousy deal. Cheers, TRADERguy

Not that I think that all these posts from people with 1 to 4 posts to their name are real, but just in case the above post is from some poor father of 2 and not an employee of GlobalFX-- Don't waste your time with Global's matched funding account. It really doesn't do anything except double...

Well I made 10 pips shorting the Euro after the last spike. A voice in the back of my head says that is not the way to do it, but my P&L says it's OK. :) Anyhow, it's past my bedtime. May we have an interesting day tomorrow. Cheers, TRADERguy

It looks like everyone decided to buy Cable. My last trade was long Cable, but I got out about 3 hours and 65 pips ago. Cheers, TRADERguy

Yes, I'll let everybody know how it goes. Cheers, TRADERguy

Well my initial impression is that Market News International is not very good, although I don't know how much it costs. This mornings #'s came across at about the same time as they were read on Bloomberg TV. That is, until the 10:30 energy report; it's 10:44 and they still haven't reported it...

I signed up for a free trial and will let all of you know how it goes. Haven't figured out how much it costs yet but I'm sure a salesperson will call soon. Cheers, TRADERguy

Thanks...it will be a wonderful day for me when my account gets large enough to justify a Bloomberg or Reuters subscription. Anyone ever tried Market News International www.marketnews.com ? I read a post recently by someone that uses it for economic releases even though they have Bloomberg...

Did the numbers just released come out a minute early or is my clock that is supposed to be in sync to atomic clock off?

Gringinho, Do you know any details on the state of China's banks. I always read about generalities and I'd love to get some real info on this. Thanks, TRADERguy
