    My next prediction. (The Euro to fall apart)

    The Euro is a good help in dire times... BRUSSELS, Oct 16 (Reuters) - Ireland's prime minister said European Union membership saved his country from a financial meltdown similar to Iceland's and the credit crisis had shown Irish voters the merits of the bloc's reform treaty. Normally...

    Ivan's Trade Thread, part II

    Towards the close of the US RTH, we are seeing repatriation, settlement effects again, and defensive trading. The good thing was that 136 EURJPY and 101 USDJPY were both passed - and this means there is an upside towards the Yen weakening some.

    Looks like Joe the Pumber was the game changer

    Hmmm, pretty conflicting stuff there, Pabst. You know I'm closer to Anarcho-capitalism than anything else - and that is pretty close to Libertarian as well. I'm not as "ethnically harsh" as you are, I just call ideologies on their flaws. If you would remember my earlier posts - I think that...

    Closed both scalps at 136.45 ... :) +65 and +84 pips. Good entries and exits, although I thought I would be struggling more with the first from 134.80 ... I'm now just €3,500 from having made 300k from scalps these weeks now... since Monday October 6. That is close to my initial goals...

    I set the trade on "auto pilot" with stop and target, but it seems slow to get there... I was 7-8 pips away just now, but the other majors seem to have problem getting traction, and the EURUSD is not holding above 1.3420 . Maybe it was 1-2 pips away there earlier... frustrating :) 20:48...

    lilduckling, maybe it's "reverse toadism" because it looks like he wants to "Greek kiss" Obama.

    Strategy Help (with chart for analysis!)

    I use no indicators myself ... I do "tape-reading", price-action monitoring and use fundamental news. That goes for scalping and longer term. I look at chart history just a little to get some idea of support and resistance levels.

    It is very obvious that McCain loathe Obama, and Obama himself is very aware of this. Combined with McCain's short fuse and lack of facial control - makes it perfect for Obama to keep looking at McCain with an expressionless mimic -- which just infuriates McCain. That is what I would do if I...

    Mccain won the debate big according to poll

    In 2001 after the attacks on NYC, Zakaria participated in a meeting called by Paul Wolfowitz to analyse US foreign relations towards the Middle East and Afghanistan, resulting in a report to the Bush administration. I would not suggest that Zakaria is a very leftist person at all... I would...

    Looks like Joe the Pumber was the game changer

    A good example of how neo-conservatives are beyond indoctrination, well deeper than any brainwashing... It is like they have been created - come from some non-intelligent design. They are incapable of relating to reality. :D To bad they don't understand that their stance will ultimately be...

    long EURJPY 134.68 target ... dunno - somewhere above 135... will try to see this wave out. Added another at 134.59 . Closed latter at +21 pips. Setting the other to close on 135.00 ... but will monitor. It went back, but seems to have it in - to get to 135. 18:00 CET still slightly negative...

    Pathetic polling... but who cares any longer. It is lost for McCain.

    Very narrow range just now - that was frantic trading for me - just like the previous ones. None of the trades closed negative, but I missed some pips when closing the wrong trade early... I will set hard targets for such narrow ranges rather - but I saw that some of them did not fill so I...

    A couple of bad scalps on EURJPY where I was greedily waiting for too much ... wanting +30pips, but because of the wild volatility had to sit through -20 as well .. it was up to +27 or around there ... but in the end I settled for +7 and +4. This fast shifting volatility is not my kind of...

    EURJPY closed at +41pips from 135.55 ... Looks like I should buy dips on EURJPY. It seems like the 101 options expiries in USDJPY NY cut actually are getting into play... Will be looking for good dips then... and EURJPY has better moves than EURUSD. With all this thwarting back to 136...

    Tempting to catch the falling EURJPY again - but I'll abstain from bottom fishing today, and wait for stronger signals. Below 136 it is pretty safe - but that goes more for the 134 to 136 stretch than 136 to 137 or 138 right now. Seems like yet another volatile start of US RTH coming up. In...

    McCain Can't Debate

    Pabst, but there are no doubts about that McCain had a very strained relationship with his father - pointed out by himself, him saying he was raised by his mother. When he started singing for the VietCong, his father wanted to flatten Hanoi by aerial bombing. That has to do something with your...
