    Took a short dollar/yen (long yen) 500k USD (running at 65% margin) at 85.12. very short term play -- tagged 85 in after-hours.. betting hedge funds and japanese exporters will take advantage of this and 85 is very polarizing.. will add to 95% margin if hit hits 85.20. Stop on all at 85.25 --...

    My first trade is on -- short 500,000 EUR at 1.4223. Will stop myself out 1.4230. Thoughts: Feels like EUR getting squeezed --- many players got long the USD after solid employment numbers. Nothing of real consequence after that other than contradicting Fed statements on whether QE2 will...

    i think Saxo only powers the demo.. once you open a live account, it will be a citifxpro server that you connect to..

    I've been using CitiFXPro for about 3 months now - have not had any problems... there are no commissions (only the bid/offer) and they have 3 different platforms in addition to MetaTrader and an app specifically designed for the iphone.. I definitely recommend..

    so right in the middle of the 907-917 range.. does it go back to test the high or does it come back down in the last half hour? i think it will cause more pain to test the highs again.. putting my money where my mouth is with a long at 912.50.. target 916.5, stop below 910..
