So, who's still up ? :D (except the €, that is)

Hah! Fox may say what they want. We will know in around 2 weeks or maybe a month depending ... Well, I had some nice profits with roughly 40 ticks (on the "long position"). :) Remember, the messy election uncertainties are bad, bad, bad for USD and US standing around the world. The overly...

(NBC,FOX) ... according to Bloomberg, but people stil in line in Ohio. Hmmm, but it still seems a little vague. Need to hear it from CNN.

Yes, you're right. Whatever the president - the USD is going further down over the next 6 months. That's more into the fundamentals with growing deficit, increasingly difficult Iraq situation .. and Bush would get little further support in EU etc. edit: also remember the EURJPY cross pressure...

It's just my protest-vote. :D If Bush wins I think like trade-ya1, that USD will get weaker ASAP. Bush has not done a great deal for fiscal sanity, and being excempt from IMF scrutinous measures, they probably will not do a lot either. Oil prices will probably continue a good stretch and...

If Bush wins Ohio now, I'm not trading short €s for a considerable time. :( Hmmm .. I don't like the FL news .. gotta tune into more of CNNI.

Do like me, open a demo with FXCM or Refco FX. Then use the super-duper-excellent Thomson news to supplement you information. It's the best I've found out there. Sure, Reuters, Bloomberg are more in-depth ... but it's the fast up-to-date chatter and rumours that you need for confirming your...

... and right you are. I remember they were delayed earlier, when registration was not required, or am I completely off my cliff now ? Anyways, use the chart link to dailyfx as a simple fast-chart.

Remember, those are delayed quotes. Better go for http://www.dailyfx.com/FinanceChart.html or similar from www.refcofx.com . At least those are real-time, and they're pretty close to the CME EuroFX right now. Don't let that happy hour get to you. I'm going to hit my Jägermeister now ...

IB might have a big variety of traders - but remember they're truly global and they do count. They are the biggest contributor to the CME futures with respect to #s of transactions. Since it's a zero-sum game, you want to "get" as many opponents as possible sweating in the baking oven. :D I'm...

You can't. But other good alternatives are getting a demo account on Velocity futures with X-trader - $50 per month, or something.

You see .. 80s again. Anyone else thought 80s were cool ? 90s were just streesful business and ecstatic techno-parties. Holy, schmoly .. as I write we're into almost 1.27 on FXCM, Refco ...

See how markets react to IB shutdown too ... strange how much of an impact it seems to have; but 00:00 and the date turn is something special too.

Well, it can't go to far down .. not up either .. but significantly up when compared to down. Tom Keene editor on Bloomberg repeats how markets reacted on recounts in 2000; it was on "auto-pilot" without real direction. So consider that the most likely scenario right now. We need some...

Regular Trading Hours with less margin requirements, and CME pits open.

Yes, for the IB shutdown .. but I can't tell. :) It's 2 fixed limits, though.

Seeing some range extensions, but to me it's just more opportunities to add a little. I am not trading big size though, roughly 20% of RTH size.

Yes, I agree there are some mixed signals. However, with the knowledge that things are getting very close again and with the upcoming litigations if not Kerry get OH, CO or something - or likewise Bush NE, CO then we will be in the dark for some significant time - what national elections are...

Right on, Ohio should be able to call now - but stalling. If Kerry wins Ohio, and then MI, WI he would most likely not need to know about FL. Interestingly, EuroFX is momentarily down on this ... I guess FL stinks with brother Jeb and all their bad, mixed up voting history.

Got turned down. Result still not able to project.
