You're welcome. ES did you make money off of that?

Bundesbank buying size EUR/GBP now.

I respectfully disagree. Rotella had only a few hundred million up until a few years ago. None of those funds are in the same league as DE Shaw. I have no vested interest in DE Shaw but am just stating my opinion. Have you tried making returns on $6 Billion? You are talking about taking more...

You also have to consider that DE Shaw is running $6 Billion. Most of the Funds on IASG are pikers in comparison. In fact, the only ones in the CTA universe that compare in size are John Henry and Campbell that I can think of. It's alot different to average 23% returns on multiple billions than...

You are correct, there is certainly more to life than average annual return. However, i do believe that they are amongst the most consistent as well. Can you point out a few funds from iasg that you think qualify for returns and consistency? There are many that can do it for a short period of...

If you can return 23% for 15 years annually, you are amongst the best in the world. Top 10, hands down. Buffett, Soros, D.E. Shaw, Rennaissance Technologies, Millennium Partners, Citadel, Steve Cohen, Peter Lynch, Paul Tudor Jones, Stan Druckenmiller. My top 10.

Call David Shaw and ask him if he'll accept a $25k deposit from you against your losses. You never know, he might like your balls. :-)

I can only imagine what Coinz would be saying today. Thank God that guy was banned. I don't think that I could take reading his bullshit. :)

Can you find a similar pattern and confirmation in the other currency pairs visa vi the dollar? Such as the US $ Index, or the $/CHF, $/Yen? If not, then this is not a valid pattern. It is highly unlikely (definately unlikely) that the EUR will weaken against the dollar (in the intermediate to...

I see what you are saying and that chart does look compelling. Nonetheless, it still requires a break of the neckline to become valid. I suppose coincidentally, a decisive break of the neckline will also become a decisive break of the trendline. I'm sure that I will be selling upon confirmation...

I suppose that is possible but highly unlikely. Why go to all that trouble just to hide a long dollar position? There is no dirty little secret that the 'smart' guys are hiding that is causing them to make long $ positions but give the world the appearence that they are short the dollar. In an...

Both the $ and crude are having a classic counter-trend move in an otherwise strong trend. The $ is getting near to levels where I might get concerned, however, I'm a buyer of crude as well as non-US currencies. My latest thought is that we are going to have a shake-out in the $/EUR below 1.1970...

moussaka, I'm not sure if i qualify as a big money guy, however, i do not feel that is a valid or obvious head and shoulders pattern. i am really not taking that pattern into consideration in my positioning. of course, i've lost money almost everyday this week. best, neal.

As you know, I speak to numerous big investors and hedge funds. Frankly, they don't have much reason to lie to me as I am not really in their league and cannot hurt them in any real way. Many of them I have had a relationship with for a decade or more. Also, I often speak only with the investors...

With all due respect, what evidence do you have to say that the big money funds have already established large dollar long positions? I'm very curious as maybe I really need to improve my network of contacts. :)

Even I admit that is highly unlikely. I'd be more at 2% than 5% chance (1:20 doubt it). Right now, I'm just hoping for a move back through unchanged on the day for follow-through next week. I hope i'm wrong and we hit 1.2200. Neal.

EUR trades like sh*t. This is the bottom of EUR. I am adding aggressively here. Time to put up or shut up. Good luck to me. :0)

I hear ya Krup. I certainly will sell on a decisive break of the trendline. Frankly, in the grand scheme of things, it's not going to make much difference if I sell at 1.2075 or 1.1775. I trade the big trends and try to capture 10 figures plus when possible. This is one of those cases. If I am...

I have to admit, while I personally do not doubt my longer term view, this has been one MOTHER F'ER of a difficult trade!!! I think that I am trading larger than I should be. Mistake. I do believe that I learned something from this episode thus far. While it seems intuitive to trade larger...

Us $ bears have alot of fighting left in us! :-). Why do you say a renewed hawkish stance by the Fed? Personally, I believe that one HAS to be $ bearish here. In my opinion, this was never a EUR story. Rather, the $ has been in a weakening trend against every major currency in the world for...
