Right now we can see some pushing of the EURUSD off from the spot prices in the EuroFX futures. So some big EuroFX players would like to flash it higher ... They're fighting with around 2x200+ sizes above the spot price .. pretty nifty. Let's see if they can hold prices up - or are they...

Most of it can be kicked out on basis of "common sense" and knowledge of market conditions etc. But in this case it could just be that he commented on something seen a few hours ago - and which annoyingly was released as a comment when it was at it's "most false" - i.e when it was not longer the...

Thomson's Jamie Coleman notes a european central bank offering on 1.3330. But the price has already shot through there ... it seems the quality of the "rumours" can't be taken too serious at many times, and some commentators seem to give worse comments than others - or be in a veritable latrine...

Hardly a blip on the weekly jobless number. Just demo spot scalping a little now. After the bigger slide from ATH, the USDJPY was more sparky than the EURUSD - showing better range - and the EURUSD seemed capped at 1.3335 pivotal. There was also some 1.3318 S/R but it seems to have been washed...

USDJPY seems to be lifting EURUSD somewhat. There are some good sized bounties around 102 and slightly below - where it stopped short earlier.

I'm scalping this, but being short 1.3280s is no problem if you can take the heat, and have a longer time-fram for the trade. Sure you could go hunting for that peak, but it will mostly cost, if looking for highly leveraged shorted tops - and then seeing a better peak approaching. Better enter...

Stairway to heaven ... it goes ballistic now and then. Asian session rumble, and a new ATH is created.

There are reported further stops above 1.3370 right now and support on 1.335 and 1.3300 according to Thomson. Next option barrier at 1.3400. :) USDJPY apparently dicy at 102.00 with extreme possiblilty of intervention there. Seeing that Trichet is now talking of how strong the US economy...

I agree, SethArb, the cable is unbelieveable. It has started to take some of the EURUSD heat now. I was playing at www.tradergames.com - and was pretty confident that I could out-trade some of the players I saw trading there, after doing some parallel games on simulation. But this one guy...

Reportedly strong selling from protector of 1.3335 large stops. There were reportedly good offers from 1.3295-1.3280 - according to Thomson.

Seems like the MM has some qualms about going through a whopping 8 contracts when the trade is not going his way. What a wuss... There were 8 contracts lingering on 1.3304 for a while after the MM was beat down from around mid 1.3310s. I guess sour grapes are not his thing. :D I just need a...

I'm really not watching to trade right now; I'm falling asleep - because I get up around european open the last few days. That's around 05:00 in the morning here. :) I would like to see the asian session, but have no energy. After putting my son to sleep, I just want to rest myself ...

Just now was an example of how stupid the book can get sometimes. Super-wide spreads and printing like mad ...

I personally found the T&S on EuroFX to a lot more useful a few weeks back when compared to now. Now the market seems a lot thinner and there are more flashing and wider spreads at slow times during the night. Presumably this will go back to normal in january or around there. I would love...

I know, working with several viewpoints on trades is tough to do. :) I do have targets on both my scalps and my positions I have tried. When I can comfortably enter positions will be a big relief for me, but I don't think that december might be the best period for that kind of trading. That's...

I think that defining a target greatly helps in getting profits that will stay profits - and not turn into losses. Today was looking at a selloff on the back of month-end, some securing profits and London fixing sales. Then there're also the USDJPY expiries. Many times one can get some...

Notice we're smack middle back in the range of late, with a slight tone of further downside. That is probably the most difficult moment to call further shorts right now. It's much easier close to the ATH on a day like today, but there is still some 20+ pips way to the lower bounds of the latest...

Careful with that short sword, because the USDJPY is trading quite calmly - while the ugly deep-water fish with the small light-pendulum/-antenna are pushing the little €-fish lower. They're drawing big lies in the orderbooks IMO.

Tonight the USDJPY will be more interesting than the EURUSD, but will probably move the EURUSD easily. The EURJPY is still in some sort of "twilight zone".

First day in some time I've been able to read some signals off the book and actions. It was because of the "normality" in anticipation to the numbers etc. It was not because of any more liquid markets - but more to do with the big-teeth fish staying away from making the book lie - like they...
