Yes, you're right ... I knew I had read about MMs on CME before and tried to find it, it just didn't occur to me right now that it was on the ED. :) With 14 million jews on holiday and the japanese too it could become much thinner ... [23:37 USD/JPY Likely To See Importer Demand Today...

Yes, actually there are MMs - and they of course get caps and discounts on fees like members etc. http://www.cme.com/abt/news/04-36EurodollarPrograms6260.html excerpt: "CME will also expand on the GLOBEX market maker program in its electronic Eurodollar futures market by increasing the...

Trading resumes after GLOBEX break ... ... and some trades are visible sporadicly on the downside - from 1.2178 down to 1.2170. Roughly 10-14 contracts total, maybe. What happens ? MarketMaker lies a few pips over and moves things higher ... Sometimes better to not show trades in the book -...

Well, this was a surprise of sorts. I didn't think we would linger so much around the 1.2190 levels on the spot, and would much rather prefer a break either way now. No surprise in weak numbers, but that the rate expectations got swayed at all. I don't think that the FOMC reset their opinions as...

I trade spikes as follows: I wait for the spike to run, and when it starts stalling or shaking at what I think is the extreme, I try to get a limit in well before the previous range and my exit is also quite a big level before the previous range. I.e I trade spikes quite cautiously - and if I...

Seems the range is being set now. I imagine it has been difficult with a larger timeframe than 1-minute or ticks even, but we've had a few numbers too. Scalping at least have kept me mostly out of trouble, although there have been several runs that I've not chased. I'm more of a "counter-trend"...

[16:18 USD/JPY: US Yield Spreads Trend Lower; Weighing On USD/JPY] San Francisco, September 16th: USD/JPY is probing the lows of today"s range again, at 109.57/63 with today"s data (including subdued CPI and weak Philly Fed data) sending US bond yields lower from 4.18% to 4.11% and dampening the...

Philly outlook quite low - but it won't mean much more than noise I think. Nice short-death spike though. :) We're kinda in nomans-land right now, though. Probably have others perplexed a little too. Perhaps nice medium-longs from 1.2160-ish lower areas ? edit: ok, ok - I guess not .. :)...

Back in the doldrums around 1.2145-ish on the december future again. [14:39 EUR/JPY: Fall In Crude Oil Futures Adds To Pressure] San Francisco, September 16th: Yesterday, some of the support seen for EUR/JPY on dips came from the rise in crude futures above $45. However, today oil prices are...

We'll probably see more stop runs like this one - on the downside and upside - unless someone gives up; shaking the boat. It all builds up to the FOMC meeting. edit: someone opened a can of whoop-ass on me when it jumped up like that - but luckily the 1.2136-ish area behaved just like the...

Seems there was strong resistance sub-1.2120 ... esp. 1.2115 as reported. Probably will be tested soon as the day progresses. :)

The dam broke! Nice slugfest ... :) 1.21 on the horizon, maybe the break from the range is upcoming ... [13:48 EUR/USD: Cross Pressures Overcome 1.2135 Support] Boston, September 16: Cross selling of EUR, particularly against GBP as well as some decent US economic data has the EUR under...

Yes, continued tight range. Very interesting and very strong showing support on the december at 1.2133-34 at US markets open 09:30 EST. That's around 1.2139-40 on the spot - 'incidentally' similar support showed yesterday. Wonder if that one will be flooded . edit: some confirmation reports...

Too true, gwac. I look forward to trading the shakes, spikes or whatever. I will try not to do be too stubborn like the when Greenie testified last time. :) [01:21 EUR/JPY Down A Notch, Eyeing Test Of 133.42 Ichimoku Base] Tokyo, Sep 16. After holding steady at 133.60-70 earlier, EUR/JPY is...

Anything hinting of necessity or not of US rate hikes will trigger nice moves right now I think. There're always focus on the FOMC meetings and Fed-citations. The same goes for any number believed to have impact on deficits or debts - seen as the big problems in the US economy forward...

... and wearing the sparky shorts from the 1.2145-ish area and pulling them down still does the magic trick. 5 times now, but it's getting dull and it's better to wait for asian open. Using those tick-charts and minute-charts gets boring after EuroFX RTH.

EURUSD december futures flatlined around the 1.2145 area / spot around 1.2150. Asian session crosses will test it lower in around 5 hours time, right ? :)
