whats up oldtime, yep this is some crappy trade. It does look like aussie can clear out to 0520/0500

RBA statement later, other then that, maybe trade some CAD tomorrow.

dink.... 0520

E/A strong bounce off those lows.

and a nice trade to end my week. worked out a bit quicker then I thought it would.

Traders say there has been a lot of chatter about M&A flow, particularly around the C$0.9950-C$0.9970 area, stemming from the $6 billion acquisition of grain handler Viterra Inc. (VT.T) by Glencore International PLC (GLEN.LN, 0805.HK, GLNCY).

love those flows...

lol, perhaps someone can confirm that the boxes are working in the EU or UK. I killed their fwd start touches the last month and find it curious that they chose this week to kill the exotics:

Oanda was pricing a 10-20 pip OTM touch at a 83/100 payout with a week duration. Bets were modeled at 95/100. I'll post the screen grabs once it's confirmed that they're dead to all markets.

"Similar initiatives" is a load of bullshit.

Bull reversal on EURUSD daily portends 1.2385 on Monday or Tuesday. Pretty low risk entry here. I'd pull a portion at 1.2345 and the remainder for 1.2375-85.

1.2299 last.
