How bout a nice surprise rate cut from the ECB? :) Happy turkey-day to you all.

Yes, nicely done.

I think if initially the trade was done for a longer time frame, trading around a partial position while leaving a core untouched is a good all-around compromise. Also the idea of exiting and being able to re-enter at a better price works better mentally I think if you view the closed profit as...

Certain setups can work with very tight stops; I know someone who uses a 2 tick stop on EUR because for that particular setup, the best trades go his way immediately and never look back. This greatly reduces the number of overall winners but allows him to be very aggressive when his stop holds...

Coinz, just stay in your own thread please? You already have a thread on the EUR so no point repeating things in here.

You're not any bit concerned about the record # of spec longs in eur? Might need some pruning before getting over 1.30.

I was right about a gap in zn -- only it was up not down. With crude down and equities at multi-year highs you'd think bonds would drop a bit, goes to show what I know :)

Was that you that just swiped 82 GBP off the bid? :D

Oil mostly I guess, and you also have the short-term trend in your favor.

Nice call, we should gap down some when zn reopens.

That's the rub, if I was in a purely scalping mindset I would have only been able to sit through a fraction of the move down today. Tough compromise.

I covered some shorts around here, but the rest of the short position that I plan on keeping for a while made me hesitate going long for a trade there and missed a good one. Scalping around a core position is very tough mentally for me, and right now I'm on the verge of giving up the longer...

I think a test of 1.2860 is in the cards.

Most people probably don't need GPS, but just navigation software that is "driven" by function of your tire gauge, direction, and distance traveled (most lexus vehicles come with this feature I think). I would imagine that real-time traffic information would lead to more use of actual GPS...

You guys watching JPY at all? BOJ intervening or what? I'm short with a bid in at 9400, hoping to hit lotto :)

Nice position trade you have there gringinho, you gonna hold through some big news items coming out tomorrow and friday? For me I usually do better deciding beforehand whether or not I'm going to sit through any kind of profit-taking from the weaker hands, cuz otherwise I usually end up selling...

You guys would both be true Elite members had they not removed the caste-by-posts designations :)

I basically watch EUR, GBP, JPY, AUD, and CAD, but most of my executions are in euro. I'll take trades in others if I find they are offering better entry points, but I think you really need to be looking for bigger moves in those, otherwise watching something like the GBP chopping around will...

The EUR pushing down while other majors floated was pretty confusing to me -- tricky read today.

Cool man, we can just use this thread I guess: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=39612 Don't want to clutter this thread up anymore than necessary, you have a good thing going here :)
