5-6 minutes early. :)

+31 on 3 trades - 2 EURUSD shorts and one JPY short/USDJPY-long. I think I'll call it a day soon, if we don't see some strong action - although it'll probably be linked to end-of-month , end-of-year even. The european close in 145 minutes will probably be the next offset to give some...

Got another +5, all on shorts. Got a nice and obvious delayed EURUSD-reaction short on USDJPY for +16 ticks too.

Got +10 on EuroFX , but was uncertain on any further gains. I stopped any further attempts though. We will see some more movements after the consumer confidence numbers - compounded move on back of GDP as well.

We will push for a ATH I think, so some good shorts will appear round there, Thomson notes talk of fixing-related sales towards 16:00 GMT, and offers around 1.3320-30. The US equities open synchronization for this latest push is different today; we have consumer confidence shortly...

ECB Trichet starting to talk right now .. Check Bloomberg UK - not on Bloomberg US right now, I think. Also watch movements on USDJPY etc too .. to see responses on EURUSD.

I think that there is some hesitation at these levels right now. My guess is that we're in for choppy consolidation still until we get some further signals. The underlying trend seems to be unshaken. If friday's NFP will show bad numbers we will sky-rocket on the EURUSD. Medium term investors...

I only did a "mental trade" after the numbers - but seeing as the order book was giving a lot of "false signals" for me, I preferred to stay out. The potential was only for 10 ticks as well, which goes to show the weakness of this market at this time and price level. USDJPY did not move either...

I will be flat into the release - but I have been flat for most of the latest sessions, with only a few trades. Murky waters don't welcome brave swimmers, and the sharks flashing their fins in the book don't increase confidence of safe market conditions. Will have to see volume action along...

I don't know more than passes on Bloomberg Asian session, or Bloomberg articles and similar. From time to time there are some statistics or analysis of the finance industry and bad loan ratios etc with chinese banks.

I normally take a look at http://www.dailyfx.com/calendar/FXCalendar.html or similar services.

I must say I get a little irritated with some comments via Thomson, like the one where Jamie Coleman says that China is the main culprit in global imbalances right now. China imports more from every neighbour than it exports. It can't just unpeg it's currency like the US wants. It would be...

Look at the USDJPY dragging the EURUSD again too ... Earlier - mid-european session and before the gulf states Bloomberg article fuzz, it was the other way around. I dislike that spot demo account a little - it's like a grim testimony of what I could have done today. It's around +60% today -...

I notice that too, noone wants to get burned on breaching "important" big numbers. That goes for defending them too ... the latest craze has been it's own death. Friday will be a mover, though - unless we're at 1.3500 or something .. :D edit: another +10 could have been made on that last...

You can see them printing the tape a little when they get trade's against them. They quickly fill gaps and take a little shot on the next level. Don't know how it affects e.g Interbank trading; probably not. Just a little different in the book than when it was a fuller market. edit: my...

... and there it came ... over mid 90s. Now pressure will be stark with heavy flashers to try and press over 1.3300. Or it will be a series of attacks like we have seen with the other barriers. Like, Neal mentiones, the sellers are the buyers and vice versa. They're capping both sides...

Seems like EURUSD is loading up on shorts to run them upwards of mid 90's ... That will be the opening for a 1.3300 test.

Gulf states talking about pricing oil on back of basket of currencies to make oil pricing more stable. Thomson say it's dealers talking of a Bloomberg article. Wonder if it just is another eaxaggeration rumour or outright lie again. The most commonly used lie when trying to get the USD...

Well, I guess friday's NFP could bring some normality back in a day's trading. I have been taking a look at larger timeframes again to see if I can spot a setup. I think I'm more apt at getting a play when we're in familiar territory, though. So, it is only my spot demo account which is getting...

I am a little discouraged of trading again, not my cup of tea right now. It seems there are more "spoofing patterns" repeating themselves in the EuroFX book. Especially the more prevailent "mushrooming" of size. That makes scalping a lot worse. Perhaps it is time to get more serious with...
