Just relatively heavily reshorted the EUR at 1.22 flat. News that the ECB is thinking about cutting rates now. The pressure is increasing, my friends.

Forget air travel. Try calculating what your electricity costs will be or what it will cost to heat your house in winter (assuming you live in a cold winter climate). What about driving? The cost of almost everything is tied to fuel. Milk, eggs, etc...all of it has fuel costs built in it...

You sound a bit like you're angry at this. Why? Oanda has never made a secret that it lets you trade 24 hours. Pips are enlarged of course. But thank you for classifying myself as "very smart".

Shorted before open. And how much? Shorted 200,000 units. Edit: Just closed it. Took my money and ran.

Because - as I thought - the EUR would open taking a dive. And it did. And I'm up about a grand because of it. I'll close out shortly, and then return to neutral pending Monday's news.

Got back and shorted EUR/USD before market open (1.2280). I'll watch it closely and see if the disaster of the EU budget meeting is as bad for EMU as I think. -Ivan

Greetings from Greece, my friends. What's better than a vacation in the Greek islands with your new fiance'? Logging in to find your GBP/JPY trades about 300 or so pips up and closing them. Paid for the vacation and a lot more. Am not back until Monday, will chat you then. Until then...

I have the real thing :) Leaving on a jet plane. Talk to you guys when I get back in 10 days or so. I loaded up on lots of GBP/JPY @ 195.50ish for the time I'm gone to enjoy the interest. I think I'll make more in interest than the vacation will cost me (minus the ring, of course). How's...

Essentially the failure to break 1.2350 saw people take profits and turn the other way. And yes, people are waiting for Greenspan's testimony where he will either confirm the view yesterday given by a number of sources that said the economy in the US will grow 3.4% in 2005 versus an abyssmal EU...

That's exactly what I meant. Though I said 1.2345 just to be safe.

Cheers, gents. Nothing wrong with helping each other as best we can and getting rich together.

From the states, and yes - I know pretty good Russian. Having a russian girlfriend who won't speak English to me on Wednesdays and Sundays helps. Every time I try to speak english on those days she purposely stares blankly at me and tells me in Russian that she cannot understand me. It's...

One last thing I'd like to add. If you want to short EUR, do it around 1.2330 or so with a tight stop at 1.2345. the 1.2340 is being perceived as a double top, and there are rumors about some CBs selling into that number. But stops are right around it. So if it breaks, it might break hard.

Honestly, I was more kidding on the "Uncle Ivan" comment than anything else. I don't know any more or less than anyone else. But from where I stand, the EUR is at critical mass. It's looking for direction, and being pulled in both directions as the market tries to get a grip on what you and...

Yes, the air is better, but living right off Tverskaya is very convenient and enjoyable.

Are you using the game account? What part of Moscow you live around? I'm near Mayakovka :)

Spaciba!

Closed GBP/USD @ 1.8370 for 135 pips profit Closed GBP/JPY @ 196.25 for 125 pips profit You guys should have listened to Uncle Ivan. -Ivan

Just saying that my name is a joke: Ivanovich. I'm not Russian :)

Ofmy, Ìåíÿ çîâóò òîëüêî øóòêà:) But thank you for your best wishes. Are you in Moscow too?
