I see most FX dealers do options etc. too. [13:58 FX OPTIONS: EUR/USD Another Large 1.2250 Expiry Tomorrow] London, September 21: There is another large 1.2250 plain-vanilla option rolling off at the NY cut tomorrow (Wednesday, 14:00GMT), alongside a 1.2260 strike. 1mth implied volatility...

Just to try and recap some of the action this morning. :) [13:32 EUR/JPY: Weak Nikkei Helps Underpin Cross] San Francisco, September 21st: EUR/JPY remains supported at 134.67/71 with little pullback seen so far. 135.00/10 remains key resistance with this area finding resistance from prior...

Like they said on Bloomberg TV, any rise in the oil price might lead to a negative interpretation of the FOMC decision. My plan is to watch the action and look for quick opportunities. Playing a position with something like FOMC decison or NFP (NonFarmPayrolls) number is mostly suicidal or...

CME EuroFX RTH (Regular Trading Hours) , asian open - sometimes european open (around 04:00 local time here). :)

Well, we're obviously in a range ahead of the FOMC, and it's just a question which of the support & resistance levels which can hold. I probably should stay longer with my 'predictions' on which levels holds to ping-pong between them - but I am inclined to take profits on smaller range-swings...

Well, I think I'll call it a day with 31 ticks on 6 trades (including asian session earlier) ... :) Won't try and push my luck towards the close and just before the FOMC -- I see my last short could have gone somewhat further - esp. if we go to 1.2155 on the spot. Profits rule the day. Good...

[17:06 NEWS: Snow Says Flexible FX At Forefront of Intl Policy] San Francisco, September 20th: US Treasury"s Snow is becoming increasingly vocal about flexible FX policy as the G7 fin min meeting approaches Oct. 1st. He states that he will keep flexible fx at the forefront of international...

:D hehe, I know that feeling .... I think we're headed back to 1.2150-ish area again on the spot, but towards the end of RTH on EuroFX I'm not sure what will happen ... not that much external noise to rock the boat either; just the usual energy concerns. We might just dabble off, and get some...

I'm rather undecided if I'm going to mix my style with some longer term, as my 'gut feeling' on some of the smaller moves is quite strong, and I know that being wrong on the longer moves without a proper exit strategy hurts a lot with futures - from my ES trading. Now, my 'current...

We'll see if it can surpass 1.2155 again ... I usually get out close to these stalling/testing levels when I've traded a bounce or similar - but I'm very eager to have every trade profitable. As I write the spot breaks 1.2155 .. :) .. and breaks much stronger than I would have thought too ...

Yes, had two quick longs for small profits, but I'm very uneasy going long - therefore rather small profits although I got in first a few ticks below 1.2130 . :) FOMC decisions always gives me jitters - not because of the outcome - but because of the markets ... they go pretty wild. Like...

A nice short down ahead of the european open with 12 point profits with a small 2 pip reversal even because of a typing error. It seems it will go ahead and break the 1.2155 support easily, but it's 04:00 here soon and waiting this long for the opportunity ... sucks. :) I was planning on...

Pretty calm trading, and a drifting bias towards an expected FOMC rise seems emerging. [05:21 GMT September 20] The EUR/USD opened in Asia around 1.2170 and amid broad USD demand eased below Friday"s low of 1.2157 to a session low of 1.2152. There were a few stops under 1.2150 and 1.2145, but...

Watching "Super Size Me" and the EURUSD .. kinda sickening. :) [03:16 EUR/USD: Bouncing Towards Opening Level As Weak Shorts Cover] Sydney, September 20: Shorts taken on the off chance that EUR/USD would break below 1.2150 and into stop loss territory have covered ahead of the afternoon...

Does www.marketnews.com / www.economeister.com have any streaming news ? I saw they had audio interviews too, and what do you get as a subscriber ?

FXCM, Refco Tradin Station news - which is the same as www.ifrmarkets.com .. I have seen nothing quite as good as these comments, and they are very frequently updated 24h from correspondents all over the world. Of course in the asian session JPY is more in focus, but they cover a lot of...

Two trades and b/e as a result on both of them ... 6JZ4 starts to look tempting and is quite liquid as well, but I just need the patience, although today's session will end with the start of the weekend, so trades need to be kept on a quick pace. [15:09 EUR/USD: Big Selling Leaves Longs At...

[14:09 EUR/USD: Back To Session Lows] Boston, September 17: EUR/USD was unable to stage any kind of meaningful bounce after the Michigan sentiment report as it was fairly close to the mark. EUR/JPY selling is the main catalyst weighing on the spot rate at present, sending the pair back to...

... and what a lame session it is. Extremely lackluster; it seems many japanese are looking forward to the long weekend into monday, and will take no bets. Who can blame them, really ? :) Why should they take any chances ... [02:04 Japan FinMin Tanigaki - U.S. Should Strive To Cut Deficits]...
