Chinook's EUR/USD (E/$)Mumblings

Quote from Ivanovich:

Yes, but in countries like Germany - where the export market is like 75%, and latest GDP numbers were (I think) somewhere around 1.5%, they have to realize that this higher EUR is going to smack them where it hurts.

There is no way that 75% of Germany's economy exports to outside the Eurozone. I don't know what the figure is, but it's much less than this. Also, only 10.3% of German exports go to the U.S. http://www.indexmundi.com/germany/exports_partners.html
 
Hi,

I am looking for partners who would be interested in subcribing to Reuters 3000 Extra. I am unable to spend $1390 a month for the product. However what I am thinking is that I can subcribe to it and I could arrange for other people to access it from my computer.

I used to work for Reuters and it is a great product. I want to trade fx and have followed the market very closely. I like Reuters because of the quality of the data. For the Euro for example, they have theoritical data going all the way back to 1987! I am not sure if any other company has that kind of historical data. Reuters 3000 Extra has every thing. It is all the information that Bloomberg has except that it is a bit cheaper. Ideally if I can get 5 people my cost would be lower. (It would be $1390/5).

Reuters 3000 Extra has a bunch of products however a person cannot subscribe to any individual product. Please email me directly if any one would be interested in this kind of an arrangement. Also, if you guys can answer the following questions, that would be great:

1) What kind of data feeds are you guys using for trading fx?


2) How far back does the data go?

3) Can you get a 5 minute chart? Half hour chart? 1 hour chart? if so how far back can you go?

4) If you are calculating standard deviations for any bars, how far does the system go?

If any one is looking for an expensive terminal like Bloomberg, I have the solution. Let us subscribe to Reuters, and then 5 -7 guys can share it and our cost would be signifantly lower. I am hoping I can find some partners. Happy Thanksgiving.

Rgs,

Agassi

Just quoting what I read. Will try to find the article and post it.




"The German economy is heavily export-oriented, with exports accounting for more than one-third of national output."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economy_of_Germany

10% of 1/3rd means that 3+% of the German economy exports to the US.

Now I've got to run and eat some turkey.

Cheers,

I've taken profits on 70% of my core position up here. Looking to get down to a 5% position as the market continues to rally up through 1.3300. No sign of a reversal, just looking to finish up my year already on a good note.

Traderguy - ya know, I don't remember saying it was 75% to the US. I remember the 75% number, but check my original post. Let me try to find the article when I wake up in the morning (3AM here) before you get all super sleuth on me. k?
 
Wonder if that spike occured because of the BoE comments about the dollar falling "indefinitely". Regardless, it's clear that this overall fall will not stop until someone intervenes. And that will only delay it.

Is interesting that the Swissie, AUD or yen didn't move too much though.
