I heard it differently - as in Bush needs FL, because Kerry got Pennsylvania, but there are still a lot of doubt - and we will see a long drawn election process chock full of lawyer food. It was predicted by polls before the election, but one would hope it would sway a significant portion of...

FL: Martinez leading by 29k votes ... 80% counted. Yuck! Litigation bonanza ahead.

Yup, just like Bloomberg editor Tom Keene is saying now the jobs number on Friday would look to be bad, because of the 100k double month layoffs by Challenger reporting.

I don't particularly like the IB shutdown from 00:00 EST and 30-40 mins tonight. Also the dem voter-states have stayed up longer and will come in later, so we'll probably see more swing up later in the session. Pennsylvania battleground given to Kerry by NBC,CBS according to Bloomberg...

Do you care to explain, because from what I understand the 1.2640 is a fairly solid base as far as I have read analysts. E.g Thomson cites it as "perfect match for Fibo projection wave 4 low derived from the 1.1970-1.2387 base from August, and projected 5th wave high is at 1.3058." They're...

Looking at bigger charts I think I see some underlying swing upwards, but it's too close to tell. :D

I think the deficits will continue anyhow, whoever wins, for the foreseeable future. Therefore we will still see a weeker $ and stronger € on the back of needed reforms in the US which won't seem to be coming. Also, see how some of the states are really close in the early counts and how...

Both, but I always say when it's the demo. The demo has had a nice run-up in one day. :) Can't completely complain on the EuroFX either, but not nearly as good as the spot (which is unrealistic because of leverage). It's a good time to get in long now, since the next closing states will...

Just had to get in on this last dip down to 1.2680s ... :) edit: forgot ... target 1.2720s ... stop probably below 1.2650-ish. Will see if there is momentum upwards if 1.2720s get reached, and try some real position, otherwise just take the best opportunity.

I am satisfying some of my trading needs with spot demo trading. So far the account is up 27.6% for the day ... but that's with the unrealistic leverage and scalping.

We're back again! Now we can have a little less .... whooops ... 1.2730s ... Hmm, gotta watch the market . edit: gotta say the market got very light-footed, or light headed very quickly there. Lots of rumours, got to look for some factual substances here. edit2: well, seems the most...

Hehe, you are there too now. :D I don't think it matters so much, though. He will probably come up with some PHP-change (to vBulletin forum) so that he can have 'search posts' or 'postings' under the names. I hope you don't go overboard with a short bias, but will try and see it as...

2 more quick long scalps for 4 and 2 ticks, but after this I think we have little impulses until some more factual results, projections start crawling out of the wood.

I've been watching the action "with eagle eyes" :D since around 05 AM EST, and have seen nothing but range bound activity with tiny stop-run extensions now and then. On the background on an hourly chart it seems to be just the continuation into the election. Don't get fooled by the trapping...

Another quick scalp long for 2 ticks, I guess this bottomfishing could be more worthwhile in a market with other conditions than right now. The characteristics of the market is for reluctant moves, so signals seem a little more obscured for doing tape-reading and scalping my style. I think I...

Some small quick scalps so far today, long for 4 ticks and short for 2 ticks just now. I have no clear bias - other than range-bound. It will probably be very muted like everyone points out, with possible reactions later in asian session where movement will be less restricted. TWS seems a...

Shaky trading in EURUSD today, with IB still sluggish here. The cable-connection has improved so it's more stable, though. 3 scalps, but after an ok 6 ticks scalp the other two drew me down to -12 ticks for the day. I guess I shouldn't push it when the trading platform doesn't respond as...

While I have been fighting with my ISP and cable service provider, EURUSD has finally moved upwards to start reaching within the previous range. Strange how incompetent and ignorant both technical administrators and support personnel can be - not even knowing cable modem basics - not to mention...

Two small scalps of 3 and 5 ticks, but other than that I'm doing some serious DOCSIS cable modem "hacking" today. My ISP is so unstable that I had to start checking the cablemodem signal strength (SNR, power), resets, SNMP events etc. Annoying having to deal with incompetent support personnel...

Quite surprisingly Thomson went long at 1.2770 and have a stop at 1.2720 - and target of 1.2930, but will go flat at a 1.2840 failure.
