Oh yea, Saxo's got the touch alright -- as in touched me for about 12k in winning forex trades it refused to honor. Check ET's broker ratings for the comments of others who've been touched by Saxo.

So far, so good. from June 22nd --

Whoa, get a load of that smile! Hint? There's a joke involved.

I am less confident today than yesterday in my AUD longs given (1) overnight (Friday) losses in Australian equities, mining stocks among them, and (2) gold bids which, while AUD positive, could dry up and reverse next week if Middle East violence abates. Still in my position, only now with a...

Of course not, why would there be? That's not what these guys were about.

DRT, The good news? One of us will hit a home run. My avg. in long is .7345 for five AUD near-month futures. First entry .7315, with 3 avg.'g up from there, and one bought under .7300, avg.'g down. I'll take profits one at a time beginning if/at .7568.

Aussie holding up darn well on a day otherwise given over to USD bulls.

I'm long AUD and have been since June 23rd, which was before last month's FOMC announcement. Reasons stated in this thread this forum: any blockbuster forex trade setups?

Futures volumes amazingly light, presumably because of payrolls in the morning. Any other reason?

Commentary on Enron's acquisition of PGE, viewed ten years later, offers confirmation and rebuttal, respectively, of two of Pabst's points -- first, Lay's peer at PGE cashing out, not unlike Lay, Pai, Skilling et al.; and second, PGE employees & retirees getting Enron stock for their PGE shares...

Get all you want down here. I've added two, boosting position to five longs, stops for all at avg in for first three.

Goering, you may know, because he'd kicked his opium jones by the time of the trial, proved a shrewd and articulate witness in his own defense. Wonder if Rush will similarly resurge -- I mean the shrewd, articulate part. He's got pills for the other.

Light, holiday volume today's session may create frothy price action which pierces my smash-and-grab ("take it and run") number Friday, .7449, but I won't take it now, waiting instead solely for chance to add to AUD longs at or below .7400. Patience play. 300-tick home run the goal.

I've wondered about that for over two years, which is how long I've been waiting for a reply to my query to UBS's Atlanta office, specifically sent to the email address of the person whose name I was given to contact there, about trading spot forex thru UBS. The account amount I mentioned to...

It looks bad. Your fx retailer, Refcofx, says it is 86 million dollars short of what it owes its own customers, plus owes another billion -- yes, billion -- as guarantor of its parent company's debt. That's the scoop from four days ago, June 27th. It pretty much shows that the cash Refcofx...

I may sell these puppies today, on theory that profit-taking next week may allow AUD longs to be re-established below .7400. Smash-and-grab target (meaning today) anywhere above .7449. Position above water as much as 137 ticks from avg in, max drawdrawn 45 ticks from avg in.

Thanks, Mr. Santayana.

"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." George Santayana, 1905. Does this apply to expectations undone in markets, including for hyper hawkishness on inflation?

Bottom picking is not my forte, but I've added to my AUD longs today, making 3 near-month futures at avg in .7307, stops tight either side .7205. Reason? Compare AUD (and NZD) on June 30, 2004, then the next day, namely after bubble of expected hawkish Fed burst by actual FOMC annoucement.
