No disagreeing with that. I just wish I would get the big wins from some of my trading soon. I'm not complaining about a +10 day, nor any recent days - which all have been good. I want to get those 50+ tick trades, and I need that to propel my earnings to the next level. Days like today makes...

There are always a swell of rumours on action like this - most of it lies and fantasies. Right now we're smack middle of the extremes of the day ... trying to call it from here is not that easy. Yes, I do agree that a 1.3000+ close or even 1.2970+ close at the weakest will mean we go 1.3+...

On the back of the movements we saw friday, the hindsight might tell us that it was "not too surprising", but anyone saying that would look rather stupid if you ask me. Maybe the pundit on the Bloomberg UK earlier was right - the USD will move - he just didn't say which direction - which...

I think all bets are off. I gave back -20 ticks in the chop - setting me around +10 for the day, but it got too wild for me - as I couldn't read the signals properly. Better stay away - I guess it's something I 'caught' yesterday, or as monday's contracted markets started. I am not seeing any...

I too think that we'll dig well into the 1.3s before some major retracements. Like some analysts said - "it's a USD move, not a EUR move." Nice to see the €$ at around ATH again. At least my long demo trade (long from just below 1.2950) got it's revenge after having been liquidated 2 times...

Another +10 scalp move ... It's too easy right now. :) Well, better to take a little rest until numbers get released. Ta-ta. edit: any takers on to around 1.2900 from where I called it (from 1.2875-ish -- 1.2890+ now) ? I was happy with +10 and got out on first stalling. Now I'm really...

Yes, I think trade balance can pre-empt a bigger move - and lock in some ranges before the FOMC statement gets analyzed properly. On the Bloomberg wire - Greenspan is reportedly worried about his would-be successor's handling of the double deficits. Hah! :D...

I "forgot" to scale down the trade on the demo account further. I just heard the "[tooloup]"-sound of it getting liquidated. Oh, well - just a roughly 50% drawdown on the account (back to 300% in comparison to last weeks 600% gain). I guess that will make it a little harder to get that 1000% in...

Watching european open with a big portion of some hot mexican beans (homemade - and A LOT of jalapeños) ... I expect it to be a little hot and a good amount of cracks and bangs. Seeing it go below 1.2884 right now - with a nice +18 on my short here, and getting it too. I guess I trade best...

That's why I don't get those 100, 200 ticks when I do scalping, I guess. I knew I was doing something wrong, especially since I was having a bad day yesterday. If I traded the news yesterday I would probably have a much better performance ... ... or could it be that I would have to do like...

Seems like some are making their own moves in the EuroFX without the moves of the spot to support them. It was interesting how the 100-lot was holding the EuroFX up while spot was a little lower. It finally burst a few minutes before 23:00 EST. But seeing as there was significantly stalling...

Today's US RTH did not provide me with much. Two quick scalps which bled -2 ticks (both were for longs) each, although the first one was cut short by my two-and-a-half-year old son hanging on to my arm for attention. :) I think I could have done better, but I'm glad I did not try. This...

I do get the feeling I'm a god sometimes, but reality quickly slaps me on my head. Therefore I'm quite content in using the quick glimpses I get on insight into markets. Rising above all of this and grabbing those 200 pips on friday would almost propel one into the ranks of those on Mt...

This is getting just as boring as most of yesterday; being spoiled by the latest breakout does make me a lot more impatient for someone doing something constructive here. Luckily, we have all gotten smarter after the choppy trading not so long ago. Tomorrow would have to be a lot more fun - and...

Now there is an attempt at establishing 1.2925-30 for building further support level and rise upwards, or that will be the result anyways - unless european close does an all-out-reversal after this. Similar action to the 1.2906 was seen on "flimsy retrace" from 1.2930 back to 1.2924. We're...

When some larger volumes are just sitting tight lower/higher in the book - a little away from the best action .. and the best action is small sizes (<10) in the book and in front of the bigger size; when those small sizes start to continously getting hit - without any real follow-through ...

I think they said they would start trading currencies on electronic XL platform Q1 2005 - so it won't be yet. See http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=605131#post605131 .

Looks like we're bak into the "I'll check out the action around the european close" doldrums again ... Will stay watching the markets, but see no reason to trade right now - other than staying on that almost-50-demo-trade. :) I'm starting to ponder a longer term position again though - but...

When "barriers", "exotics", "triggers" or "strikes" are mentioned at various levels - that's because of options .. also double no-touch etc. I get these news from Thomson - and find it quite valuable. When there are big sized options ready to expire we see a fight towards that level -...

Trading Station is what FXCM and RefcoFX uses - made by CandleWorks. It seems that our hopes are the Philadelphia Stock Exchange XL platform - I saw another thread where there was a recent announcement. Otherwise I mentioned it in another thread about Reuters and CME in FX Brokers. I think...
