FX-Concepts sees the € into 1.2940 by the next week. They're long since 1.2310 ... :) They are very negative to the Bush win, and see continued spending on military actions and perhaps retaliatory actions by terrorists including sending the US on wild goose chases. Longer term target is around...

Longer term position looking good right now, with about +80 ticks - that's roughly a little more than a good week's typical profits with the size being used. It has been up +90 ticks, so I guess it's time to start locking in some profits here, and let perhaps half of it run with a trailing stop...

I see now that FXCM is roughly 8-10 pips over Refco right now. IT seems both of them had problems with login to Trading Station.

Seems like USDJPY bounces are being capped by japanese players with dual deficits short USD biases, and the EURJPY is reported eyeing 136.20 stops - all accroding to Thomson. Somewhat confirming the tone of the EURUSD the last few hours.

It seems to go as predicted so far; now I'm anxious to see the asian session and european next-day reaction. I would think that the Challenger report could prove support enough for legitimizing a higher high into ATH territory. That would give a nice shake setup for the NFP on friday. If anyone...

I'm trying to "understand the mass psychology" in the market, and the effect of likely price movements. That's how I tried to "call the doldrums" into the equities close. Some profit-taking seems likely too - given jobs, NFP numbers closing in.

I trade in around 10-lots, scaling at times - max up to around 50 normally. I have been almost double that one time, though .. but won't do it again for scalping. I think that I might go for spot trading some later day. Most times I will vary my sizes quite a lot. My position trade is not very...

Don't envy; I dind't trade it - just tried to call it. I'm starting to feel on such a roll again, just like after that 100+ succesful trades in a row. Better go watch some TV or something. Does being "lucky" a very high number in a row amount to anything, any conclusions ? On the other hand...

Yes, creepy isn't it ? :D :p Now, what about that call into the equities close ? :D

Yes, I will hold - but watch the spikes - if any big ones. It has to do with perceived support at consolidated lower levels earlier. I'm having problems with this type of trading, because my inclination is to get into the action with all guns blazing. Now I will have to start referring to the...

Funny how it jumps 5 ticks 5 seconds after I submit my post. :D It's the drowsieness, I guess - better get some paracetamol. My demo spot account is up almost 120% since yesterday now, but I hope to get a nice payout on the long term position. Maybe I should consider short-term swings for...

Anyone willing to take this 1.2815 upwards into the equities close ? It's almost dead calm waters now, with Walker-swagger speaking.

Too difficult to call, but sometimes it happens around 1h before Tokyo open. I have no idea, just that I think that the crosses will see some good pieces of meat hanging there for the sharks to devour. Yes, I kind of foresee a USD bloodbath - but it's a big whale. The japanese kind of like...

Depends on your time-horizon and style. Very short-term scalping you got to watch the orderbook. I still think we'll go at least around 1.2840-ish, but it all depends. There will be now 1.2850 break during today's RTH. US players are not that feisty. If you look into extending into asian...

Thomson reports resistance linked to options at 1.2850, 1.2870, 1.2900, 1915, 1.2930, 1.2950 and 1.3000 ... :D Hope that doesn't scare anybody - and sometimes it's a little bit of rumours too. There are no big resistance other than 1.2850 IMO. Then upwards is a cakewalk until 1.3000-ish...

Easy making money today, isn't it ? :D Took some scalp profits on a side trade on EuroFX from the 90s too. edit: what a sad morning though. edit2: The long-term position is more than +30 now. edit3: +40 and still looking good. :) edit4: it's hard looking at almost +50, and then...

Thomson now says they see two last days as trying to extend uptrend consolidation range downwards below 1.2640 - but failed. With levels close to the top of the range, and Fibo projected high off 1.2660-1.2730 hourly upswing. They see 1.2640 as wave 4 and move to new all time highs most likeyl...

The last Challenger report showed layoffs in the 100k range, and 2 consecutive months of sizable layoffs doesn't bode well. This could give stronger meaning to the NFP on firday as some traders will have entered trades on the election result now being almost final and indications by the...

I think it normally would give a similar weak, strong USD. I noticed the chop after the european close, which sort of threw me off on what to think for a while. I think friday's jobs number will be a little more instrumental than today's concession in the short run. I guess we have status...

It seems we're still in a range. Kerry just called Bush to congratulate him, according to AP says Bloomberg. The world as we have known it has ended, gotta build a fallout-shelter now. :) (just kidding)
