I'm working on the short side. I'm holding this as a potential downside trend. Short from about 68. First short got busted then got b/e with second short. Edit: took profits from high 40s. Looks like it'll bounce up. might reshort again...

Good luck and lots of $$$ to you all :cool:

Well not exactly. I'll start monitoring the market especially the pullbacks and pullups. If I see that volume is preferring a certain direction, and it doesn't look like we'll chop and the price is on the right direction with respect to my adaptive MA then I'll open a position.

By big chance, I meant it for tonight. Usually, I tend to enter more during the pullbacks and pullups then at specific points. Trying to pick up bottoms and tops haven't worked for me! Euro tends to spike like crazy sometimes so I find it better for my P/L to wait for a reversal in a trend...

Yes, it looks quite unlikely to hit 1.2910 within the next 50 minutes. I took half off at 1.29. I'll keep the other half for a bit more. I got into habit of checking the market after 1 am EST. I'm planning to take trades only if I see a big chance of developing into a trend. I might as well...

I'll unload my longs (or get stopped out) before this Globex session ends. I don't have any biases regarding tomorrow. My only wish is to see clean and slow directional moves :) I'll be ready to take both sides. Edit: are you going to hold your longs thru the reports?

Exactly! The moment I start feeling like "god", P/L starts heading south almost without exceptions. I know this phenomenon very well now so I have my trading breaks. Hey, maybe we'll pull Mt. Olympus tomorrow :)

Today has been a good day for me. Actually, I stayed up late last night looking for shorting opportunity. After getting chopped, I was able to put my short, trail it little bit and go to bed. I slept for about three hours. I was 30+ in the morning--I was lucky. Most of the day, I went for 8-12...

Here we go: http://www.phlx.com/pbot/index.html They have settlement prices but I can't find volume info. Edit: I sent an email to them. I'll post it here once I got an answer back.

Tomorrow should be an interesting day. Let's see what kind of tricks we'll see :) I can't believe what you wrote about the trading platform! They might as well transfer money from their customers account directly every day! Which company is this? I hope we see more competition in the FX...

Everybody has a different style. I completely ignore the reports in my trading decisions. Big and surprise moves happen when most people expect the opposite. I believe that one can make great money in FX, trading according to the phases of the moon while using basic money management...

Before the major down move, there were 20+ tick spikes which all stopped me out since I was trailing and I ended up not entering short right after the third one (I did for the first two). It was kind of bumpy ride for me! But the swings during the day made up for me.

I'm exhausted--time for bed now (11am local time!). I managed to make net +47 ticks (another 10 ticks went to commissions). I'm flat now so I should be able to sleep in peace. Time to wear my eye mask and ear plugs to simulate night conditions! Good luck to you all during the rest of the session.

I'm back to short mode. I'm waiting to get short from the 44-45 level. Edit:Shifted down to 38-39...I'm not chasing the market.

This guy from my gym told me about his recent divorce. He dated this woman for six months then they got married and divorced after a year. He said she turned out to be a gambling addict! She was stealing money from him and then losing it in poker. He said she never knew when to stop. When she...

I have traded only a few. I think latest NFP days have been more action packed than the hike days.

Man, I pulled an all-nighter after sleeping 11-12 hours both Sat&Sun! My bias is shifting on the long side especially after this low vol pullback from the 60s....

You will. Just don't rush it. I've been a bad boy. I went long at 30 after the pullback from 40 to 27. Sold at 48. I'm not shorting it unless my adaptive MA turns short.

My prediction: we'll test 1.2950 shortly and then fall to 1.2880s and close around 1.2920 :) Edit: I'm not putting any money on the above prediction. However, if we indeed test 1.2950 and fail then I'll be short....
