I'm fairly satisfied with my trading today. I wish I could have protected more of my original day's gain but c'est la vie. I suppose everyone feels that way. I've been very active today but that's to be expected, big day. Currently back in buy mode building a position as long as EUR continues to...

I believe knock-out option activity and the fact that everyone "knew" it was going to trade 1.300 acted like a magnet early on. The Trade numbers were disappointing and the Dollar rallied across the board. Personally I was a big seller all the way down to protect my days gains. Starting at...

Tradingwise, no risk of intervention. Never can tell the upside target. First level is probably near 1.35 before a major retracement, then up again. No idea where the ultimate top is. Nice trade. Neal.

Just betting on the trend rather than a specific short-term event like tomorrow. Dollar is in the midst of a major down move here. Got to get in whenever you have opportunity.

Greenspan comments re: Deficits, nothing new today right? Just rehash of old comments right?

I saw Friday's move as Central Bank (Bank of China, etc.) sellers of $ and Treasuries. They needed liquidity to execute. I have no firm evidence of this however.

I'm a big buyer of EUR now. Also started setting some shorts in Treasury. I believe Central Banks are paring Treasury/Dollar positions.

I've been up since Saturday.

Was that the IB effect? lol

What the heck is that spike in the EUR now?

Bush won, buy the EUR. 4 more years of dollar weakness, yeah! :-)

Thank you. I fought the war, mine as well enjoy the spoils! Looking for 1.35 or so, unlikely I will hold on that long. Will hold until the market does something wrong. Thanks. Neal.

Still long and holding here. :-)

No thank you, I'm very hungry.

I'm still buying, hello~ :-)

JBT, good analysis. My style is more befitting of a Babe Ruth than a Rod Carew. I suppose I hit my share of home runs and also have my share of strike outs. Tough to change your make-up. Best, Neal.

I lead a crazy life. I can't sleep when the market is moving against me because I feel like I need to get out if things move strongly. I can't sleep if the market is moving for me because I want to watch and see how much it's moving and I get too curious to sleep. Problem: trading too much size...

I'm not sure if the futures that are 'created' are included in the open interest, etc. My guess is yes, they are actual futures and they get posted to the exchange for recording.

I still feel that the trend is toward a weaker dollar. This has never been a EUR story for me, rather, it is a dollar weakness story. The overall trend (look at US $ index, USD/GBP, USD/JPY, USD/CHF, USD/EUR) is ruling the day for me however, a look at the fundamentals (softening US Economy...

Chinook, unfortunately I did contribute to that volatility down near the lows. I had to protect a portion of my position. I also sold some higher but more than I should have near the lows. ES, no big buyer/seller news today. Seemed was pretty quite overall. I had to get back into my...
