Few points against shorting EUR/USD

pretty good evaluations, MP. brighter than most.

great thread!

1. a time line should be taken into consideration.

to that regard, a time line based on trading, not only evaluations of what could/should/would happen based on macro economics.

because, ultimately, everything boils down to profits made or losses sustained due to trading done in the ForEx.

In other words, it's not all just evaluations. somewhere along the line someone has to pull the trigger aka trade.

there's no other way for any analysis/TA/fundamentals to gain profit or suffer losses - trades must be made.

as a short trader, I'm in bliss if EUR/USD moves up OR moves down.

since, I can make money both ways - just as long as it moves - by competently managing my trades/losses/wins/risks/cash.

outside the strict trading model, though, we've got 2 things here:

1. The basic US economy with its surprising ability/tendency to come ROARING back, burning USD-bears to the ground - hence there is only so much bearish USD resolve in the world at any given time.

2. what you indicate about Japan is real. however, the euro must also be taken into strong consideration here. And, again, euro-bulls have a tendency to be MELTED in a moment's notice. Again, little resolve there for any kind of longer term heroics.

If you are short the USD, I thank you ahead of time for your money.

adr,

I am a trader. It's my job to evaluate risks and go both ways if necessary. Timing is everything. This is why pros laughed at Buffet, laughed at Gates in January. Do you remeber Bill Gates shorting when most of us were long on USD?.

Yes. They get burned. They don't analyse the total flow.
The 3Q balance sheet is coming in December. Then we'll see.

True. Can't deny that. If you are a trader - then you know fear is a biggest enemy and being fearless is even a bigger threat to your account. This is why we should remember to know what a main trend is. It helps. This way you can expect something and predict your moves. This makes you trades safer. But first we must understand what's going on there.
 
well, as predicted the level of 1.1900 at EUR/USD holds well and there are no signs of 1.1300
I have a gut feeling we are already in another strong upward move.
I expect a 1 month of consolidation with a 1.2200 as a level of strong resistance.
Then I see an upward move to 1.2600 for approx. 1 month afterwards and then acceleration to 1.4 and 1.6.
 
Quote from MrProfit:

Well, I am reading here and I am surprised so many of you are in favor of EUR/USD short trades.
I think everyone here realised the recent pull-up from the 1.1900 level was due to a large CB demand.
Tell me, why you think these guys buy now if they could buy at your expected 1.1300 level (!)

I read the first paragraph here and had to stop because of this statement. I find it hard to proceed in a thread where the fundamental backdrop is based on a statement like this.

Do you even understand how CBs work, sir? They're not buying all those Euros because they think the bottom is in. There are dozens of reasons why they buy them, and all but one of them have nothing to do with "investing in FOREX". There could be a client moving funds. An M+A that needs euros to finance. diversification balancing. Bund purchases. Who the hell knows? But whatever it is has to be done now. They can't go "Let's just wait until next month, because I believe the price will be a much better buy."

I really get a kick out of these threads. Where the hell is Neal when you want some support?

Look for Levels

What? Crashing? Every one of those is at (multi)year highs. Is that what you mean?

And what does "look for levels" mean?
