Short USD Cad from 1.3025 area. No particular reason I'm long Cad, just been trading it long since yesterday, looking for volatility. Got some this am and was able to trade around it. Watching near term strength against USD in everything basically and expecting it to continue. Move in Bonds back...

You're welcome to come over to USD index thread if you want to post any forex observations. Not trying to steal any customers from Mav, just sayin. I read this thread from time to time(obviously) but dont have much to say in terms of ACD and currencies. USD is more stream of consciousness if you...

Yes, but not on an ACD basis. In response to an earlier post about establishing an O.R.--somewhere M.F. talks about the New York open as well. I like to watch both, with the New York perhaps being less significant. I like to see confirmation in N.Y. On Friday mornings I've noticed that any trend...

Right now I see it as the trend needing fuel to keep going-technically. That would be traders piling into dollar shorts as it weakens, then getting caught.

Gold as well.

Ended up getting out of usdjpy this am after missing the run-up overnight. Now long Euro 1.1582. Still think everything's washed out against the USD.

Still long usdjpy after weathering the brief storm. Smooth sailing here on out.

At this point I'm thinking Euro, Aussie don't seem to want to go down.

Or, if you really like risk, Eur/Jpy.

Long usdjpy 111.25. I'm prepared for some vol, stop at 111.02 no particular reason just have to have one. Big triangles on multiple charts.

Flat. I have no conviction in that trade. Plus the near term trend has caught traders off guard. Going to watch. The good news is that summer is almost over. So liquidity will come back soon.

Short EUR 1.1633. Thanks for the post. The Fed, when it begins a tightening cycle, usually keeps tightening until they break something. It seems a little early to begin backing off,but if they do you probably should be long equities. Like, really really long. So bad news is still good news in...

Flat. Going to watch and see if we get a spike up.Doesnt seem to be much interest in pushing anything lower against USD right now.

Yeah I sold it at 1.1559. Watched as USD Cad took off above 50, but didn't want to reenter based on time of day and the potential for Cad to be choppy. So I sold EUR. Cad still weaker though.

I scratched that USD Cad. Going to let it settle out. Looks like market trying to decide USD bullish or bearish here. May lead to more chop before trend resumes.

Taking a shot here long Usdcad at 1.3042. It's broken the most recent downtrend line, as Euro etc. have broken down. There's a nice pennant on the hourly. I believe the move has caught traders short USD.

Closed out Euro short at a small loss. Euro keeps going to the edge of the cliff and pulling back. I'm wondering if there are lots of options being taken off when that happens.

Its the same mentality that makes people stare at car crashes. There's nothing to do. Just stay away.

Wondering if theres any correlation to usdjpy. It has pushed higher, but weakness in copper suggests risk off to come.

Funny Mav I didn't even read your last post till after. Anyway copper breaking down here again.
