I think there are some good news and some bad news in this change - as follows: good - the insane toggling of a few/lot of contracts on a price we sometimes notice, or rapid sequential order movement/changes, might get reduced (significantly) - thus resulting in less bandwidth for quotes...

Good trading, Ivanovich! I think we'll still see the low area for the rest of the month and june, but staying within this "range" of late since the peak of ATH over 1.36 . Coming into the mid summer and towards the ebb of the summer I think oil prices and macros will start tightening again...

Hehe, Andy. EURUSD is too funny too. :D Perfect, I think. A revisit of the mid 1.27s seems pretty possible now - roughly 100 pips away. Toggling 1.30-ish in the range as a midpoint would be pretty upsetting for markets - and perhaps the best venue for some time.

With the "flip" over 1.3000 away, what can be next ? I think more range-based action until some of the geopolitical issues gets fired up again is most likely. A trickle down to the mid 1.27s again is not too far away - while 1.32-ish seems quite high considering the off-season oil-price...

Hehe, so true Ivanovich ... I think a little flip up to 1.3000 would be fitting right now. What hurts the most is what goes, it seems; with trapping moves .. the big chop still for some time. Comfortable staying with a lower profile for now. Geopolitically it is still very interesting. If...

Nice action today getting below 1.30 . Inflation woes and rate hike scares in the equity markets is just the right blend now to do some heavy chopping.

I thought it was funny that a rally came out of this - but that just makes it logical. Everyone and their grandmother were short around 1.3230 last time ... so it's only natural that everyone scramble after they see their positions crumble, or jump on the shorting carousel again. Now, the...

Kind of a wet blanket with the NFP giving a complicated numbers package and only a 80-ish pip whipsaw range. This adds to my conviction that we'll see a continued limited range even in the short term. I got lucky on a single gambling trade on the numbers, but have zero bias overall.

I held on to my view on a large retracement - but did not know from where of course - and it could have hit 1.40-ish befer it stopped and started retracing too. I did switch back to a primarily EUR-based funding again. I can only lament the little gain I had on this, and lost out on the big...

The last weeks trading above 1.30 has been all about chopping sideways in my opinion - the korean news tilted the action a little, but it's mostly "valued in" by now. I still see the market as having some range centered around 1.30-ish for a while going forward. Another interesting thing has...

There are roughly 80 mn females here of roughly 17 main different skintones. Tourism is big in all of Brazil's large cities I think. There are some gems here and there - and sometimes you find friendlier people at some small coastline village. Life in Rio and Sao Paulo is more expensive - but...

Hehe, but that goes for any country. It's called a "girlfriend" - or even worse "a date" in some countries - where you don't even get a pleasure guarantee. :D

I've heard they are around R$ 30 in the cheaper places - and most of them too young or toothless. It all depends on where you go I guess. Otherwise, I would say that you are "out of luck" if you have to pay the girls here ... In the northeast you can get apartments at around R$ 60 per day...

Claro, vivei aqui ha 3 anos. :) I travel around a little, have been in Curitiba, Sao Paulo some in the northeast. I have a house and an apartment in different cities, but I go back to europe where I come from - from time to time. You have to excuse that I don't give out my name or phone...

Olinda - the old town in Recife - is very beautiful indeed. They also have a nice and big waterpark outside the city and a theme park open at night. One of the extremely annoying things here is that 1/3 of the population thinks that the US is trying to steal the Amazon area from Brazil. The...

Also, like I've mentioned a few times before - be very, very, very careful about bringing money you plan on moving out of the country again - in to - Brazil in the first place. The central bank policy is very restricitve. Otherwise you can withdraw large sums (up to your full balance) in...

What he means is "infraestrutura de primeiro mundo" - which translated means roughly "infrastructure of a industrialized country" - not "third world" standard, although Brazil is considered a third world country - mostly because of lacking consumer empowerment. Exports are what drive the economy...

Csaunders, good aim on the 1.3150-ish target. Hope you nailed the profits there. Otherwise, it seems very biased like Neal points out. Apparantly a lot of "work" is being done on the futures (leading the spot some times perhaps), and we have had daily strong runs upward every day, so buying...

Actually, with satellite connection the biggest problem is network latency. That is, all your quotes received will be a little more delayed, and whatever order you send will get a little delayed to your broker as well - compared to broadband network connection. Equally, that is why e.g all...

Finally ... the 1.27s are here again. Good thing is that I'm getting back to some trading again. Just have to see the carneval through first. :)
