Sounds a bit like me too. I can get smaller moves right, but if I was getting stubborn I would be six feet under. I think that's an inherent characteristic of the markets - we can all see how it's doing - but never know (!) where it's going. Scalping works for me - but I watch my equity...

Well, at least I manage to change my trade bias easily nowadays. I take short and long just as easily - although the longs hurt some around 1.22-ish. :) I just love the EuroFX for various reasons. One of them is because of all the various events and numbers that are published every week and...

I think that when the index futures dried up before the summer, many saw the EuroFX futures and liked the bigger moves there. After all -- the potential for profit is what attracts the futures traders, no ? :)

Perhaps ... I took another shot short at the 1.2145 resistance-area almost all the way down. Now, just 10 more pips divided on 1-2 trades and I'll be content -- famous last words. Apropos ... some mental smilies: "I want to die peacefully in my sleep like my grandfather not screaming in...

After a few successful shorts I'm starting to get more confident again, the pressure towards the support levels rips through the pips above like it was nothing. I'll probably call it a day soon with all the uncertainty looming. edit: releuctant bids when approaching 1.2144 on the december /...

I'm not sure about all the option codes etc. but there's something here for ECU4W3-OOF ... http://www.cme.com/clr/clring/calendar.html?category=Foreign+Exchange&product=EC&year=2004&view=print .. but it seems like the weekly expiring options. Hedgers might have other commitments, though ...

Remember this week is also expected to be quite volatile because of expirations. [14:34 EUR/USD: Real Money Buyers Spotted Near 1.2160] Boston, September 15: Real money accounts have been seen buying EUR/USD around the 1.2160 level, helping steady EUR/USD after a brief dip below support...

Yes, I know what you mean. I got whipped into a fluffy cream around the 1.22 break - but have since recouperated. Took a little break after the breakeven and now I'm even more surprised ... :) [14:22 EUR/JPY: Investment Flows To Asia Still Helping JPY] San Francisco, September 15th: The...

Well, I know most EURUSD traders have been glued to the screen these last minutes ... Surprising slide below stops. [13:09 FX OPTIONS: EUR/USD 1mth Vol Crushed - 12-Month Low Just Below] London, September 15: 1mth implied option volatility has extended its slide from an early-week peak of...

[00:55 EUR/USD: Slow Start To The Asian Session] Sydney September 15. A tight range of 1.2240/60 so far this morning, but market sentiment appears to be turning a little bearish as the 1.2300 offers prevail. There are stops at 1.2220, just below the overnight low at 1.2226 and if there is to be...

Perhaps ... [18:26 EUR/USD: Steady As She Goes in 40-Pip Range] Boston, September 14: About all that can be said for EUR/USD is that base bids have been raised to 1.2250 this afternoon from 1.2225 this morning. Softish US data was a clear dollar negative but the EUR has its own problems and...

Interesting with the tighter bias in the december contract with regards to the spot EURUSD now that the future is below 1.2260. It goes to show there is a long bias in the future - and they might be a little squeezed right now with the end of EuroFX RTH coming up.

Yes, I wrote an application (and framework for scripts) in Java. I'm currently not looking at buying a seat, although I have looked into it before.

I use IB too, but no seat. I have a proprietary trading application - mostly for pattern signals to help me scalp. Using IB which is one of the largest contributors to the CME GLOBEX with regards to transactions is a comfort sometimes.

I haven't lost my long bias - and had a quickie sub-1.2250 on the december until it stalled over it again. Why should we go much lower than this ? [16:15 EUR/USD: Cross Action Dominating As Topside Capped] Boston, September 14: Try as it might, EUR/USD has been unable to retake the 1.23...

Seems the shorts are getting a little more wind for the time being, but we can still smell the 1.23 ... No trades for the moment, will have to wait and see if the shorts will catch fire - especially if they break too much wind. :)

"Yes, honey, size does matter to me ..." :D

I try to avoid losses at the expense of cutting my winners perhaps - but that's scalping. Just had a nice log and a nice short after that. Being consistent in profits is much more pleasant than having a roller-coaster ride (and it's even better to avoid the emotional ride) in my experience. On...

I have a slight long bias myself - but am currently not in a trade. The deficit issue is a mounting serious problem, and the previsions of slower world growth in 2005 is not boding well for the US being capable of attracting even more money to finance the growing deficit.
