Contra's FX Journal

Quote from oldtime:

what's so funny?

I would have never thought of this... guess it pays to do research. I just find some humor in markets with stuff like this.

I never knew that about platinum though... you learn something new everyday.
 
Off topic... but has anyone ever woke up and it's like you are halfway between sleep and reality and you can't move for like 10 seconds until you fully awake? usually this happens when I am extremely tired but it is not that common. It's like you're trying to wake up but you just can't. usually i can't even move like I am trapped.

You can imagine sh*t and it is very vivid and real as you are seeing your real surroundings.

freaky stuff, I had one today. and when I woke up there was a huge f*cking spider above my bed webbed out across my room, and I tried to move and it ran towards me and I heard it wrap around my head and run across my pillow and I couldn't move! wtf... I am not even afraid of spiders much but that thing was like a monster.

Do they have a name for this? It's like you're stuck in REM sleep but in the process of waking up or something.

You should try trading corn. Little stuff like that will drive you darn near crazy.

You"re supposed to be following EUD, not laughing out loud.

Let us know when something is going to happen.

haha ok ok, wait for europe... but I would be looking to buy euro for some pips, I can't get a read on any major moves yet though because I doubt we will get anything crazy. I think EJ might be a better play here. Dollar looking weak though in the charts.

Jap policy statement in a few and some more China data later. After that I will look to get in when the volume comes in.
 
Investors wondering about the RBAs view on the AUDs recent rise may do well to pay attention to RBAs Guy Debelles appearance (1400 hours AEST time today). Calls for the RBA to clarify its view on the AUD has intensified notwithstanding its routine comment post its policy vote this week & with FX trading falling under Debelles watch he may be just the man to ask. While the terms of reference of the inquiry offers him ample wiggle room to dodge any uncomfortable question, if the RBA is inclined to initiate any verbal intervention/hold forth on its AUD view, this should provide an ideal opportunity.

wow that was some real market moving sh*t right there.
 
I am neutral to x2345, but I can take some heat as I picked-off a desk on an exotic that goes off tomorrow. I am with you re: upside, but I think it will be limited to x2418.

nice man, same here, I think we'll see some sellers up there for sure. I wasn't certain we would hit 2450 but that would be the target I thought. Planned on seeing selling circa 2405/10.

2418... that would be topping out sigma 1? Or 1 stn deviation from fair val right here?

btw I did that no-touch box on aussie lol

the payout was not so good but i love box...
