    Bye, bye YEN Carry Trades...?

    Early gains in JGBs tonight (Tokyo Monday) erased and routed after hot GDP number. I may regret not keeping my YEN shorts, although my instinct tells me that other markets will provide better opportunities over the next weeks. Price action in USD may look like a sideshow compared to equities.

    Crash 40% Down, In Two Weeks

    How about the chart the OP posted? Had I the wherewithal, I suppose I could test equity indices for pattern recognition and possibly identify other coincidental frames, diminishing the significance of the OP's overlays. But I'm not certain of that -- far from it. The OP's finding appears...

    Crash 40% Down, In Two Weeks

    I'm surprised that the comparative graph you've posted hasn't prompted a more serious colloquy. I suppose it could be because there's been a lot of Chicken Little threads on this board. But what you've posted is uncanny if accurate. Did you verify the accuracy of the overlays? Maybe the...

    London Asset Management

    Send 'em some money, then report back in nine months or a year on what they did with it. That'll satisfy your curiosity.

    Bye, bye YEN Carry Trades...?

    This is shaping up as highly accurate, creating an excellent set up: tiny drawdown (6 or 7 ticks), with .8300 possibly taken out today. Equities meltdown in Europe with follow thru here this morning looks to be cause. Nikkei held up pretty well overnight after yesterday's equities drop in...

    Bye, bye YEN Carry Trades...?

    Nikkei well bid early today (tonight for me), suggesting very little expectation that YEN will strengthen any time soon versus USD.

    Bye, bye YEN Carry Trades...?

    I'm done. Broke even with trailing stop.

    Bye, bye YEN Carry Trades...?

    I'll trail my stop to entry, which is .8257 avg'd in, after Monday session is in full swing. Presently, I have the equity I want, one third the way to my take profit (.8120), but only after the boost of a good US payrolls. That's why I'll trail the stop to break even.

    Bye, bye YEN Carry Trades...?

    The FEAR is growing. Will payrolls force 'em to capitulate? Will they have the stones even to hang on into that news?

    Bye, bye YEN Carry Trades...?

    As a result of massive research, Job-like patience, and the deft timing a professional such as myself can accomplish, I created a short YEN position about 8 ticks better than the mid point of this session's range, which is about where the price looks to close. I would like equity in the trade...

    Bye, bye YEN Carry Trades...?

    Can you smell it? Diaper change for rickety YEN longs, wondering why cool data tonight hasn't sent the cash rocketing below 121.

    Bye, bye YEN Carry Trades...?

    I'm shorting the near-month YEN future this session, on belief that gradual fall in price of JGBs make YEN less attractive in the near term (3 mos or so). This set up isn't about fundamentals, but about what will return best in the short run (the expectation). JGBs aren't it. Shorting...

    Sirius and XM Announce Merger

    My call is educated guesswork. Beware: ET is littered with the remains of posters who've challenged my visions and lost. It would help the stock if adults enter the picture, oust the present crowd, and make over Sirius. That's one reason I foresee a change. That's why I wouldn't short it...

    Sirius and XM Announce Merger

    This is for the observers and others who say trading and markets are cold and unfriendly -- My personal thanks to Mel and Howard for two wonderful, drop-dead cinch moneymaking opportunities. (And both absolutely free of charge). Fetish radio at a whopping seven dollars a share (and more!)...

    Forex.com Fined $100K By NFA

    Moi? No way. I'd even like to have accounts at BucketofDollarsFX and ChaChingFX, which are brokers other posters mentioned in this thread. That wish may be a lot of things, but cynical it ain't. Alas, it probably doesn't matter anyway, because I bet brokers like Bucket 'O Dollars and...

    Cramer at it again, this time with Solar

    Good, informative post which makes sense and puts the TV show in perspective. It appears that, after accounting for the show's transistory influence, Cramer's trading decisions fare about like your average dentist's.

    Cramer at it again, this time with Solar

    I don't see how this ("that man gots power") possibly is true. Cramer crushed anyone following him in the dot.com bubble and, according to a reputable website, his touts run neck and neck with the Wonder Monkey's dart throws. Anyway, in this instance in particular, as described, couldn't it...

    Free $100??

    I second this reply, which is all anyone should have to ask. I'll add my take anyway: The forex retailer making the offer won't ever have to pay off the 100, will it? Even the one in one hundred minnows who takes the bait and overcomes the retailer's pricing algorithms (and other...
