Ivan's Trade Thread, part II

Awww shucks the fun's over, I'm disconnected.....now I'm pissed too :mad:

I guess Oanda didn't appreciate my trading style today, lol

Instead of having that disconnection message why don't they just say "Fuck Off, Come Back Tomorrow!", at least it would be honest!

Yep, looks like I'm booted off too. Everything freezes (again)...log off, log back in..nothing loads....all frozen...of course I have a few positions on.

Thank God for stops...let's hope they are honored.

I'd have had more respect if the pop up said "HAHA" to me rather than the shit I've been getting.

LOL, me too. Seriously, if they were honest and said "look, we're usually pretty good but it's a bit too risky for us right now so we're not quoting", at least we would know where we stand and in a way it would be understandable.

I would be very surprised if this is coincidence or that their servers unable to handle the order flow.
 
I think that EURUSD might rise during US RTH, but other than that - all bets are off for today. EURUSD has not been totally off the cliff now, so a lot of the repatriations have already been committed - that makes it possible and somewhat likely that we can see a little improvement on the EURUSD. But, then there is the Friday closing syndrome - where the outright panic we are seeing can give anyone cold feet. I reckon most will be closing profits and not holding trades over the weekend - unless they are psychic clairvoyant or something.

I would like to go long Euro on the EURJPY - but I have no idea when to time such a trade ... there could be quite some area to cover on the downside as Monday comes, or we could see some strong reassurances coming out of all the high level meetings. It is just not possible to predict...

Just like yesterday - the US RTH starting and ending periods will be indicative - but it will surely be mechanical in the start and not worth fighting/risking. Maybe towards the middle of the session, some attempts can be made and then more bailing out towards the last 60-90mins of US RTH.

Some hinting about "rule 80B" of US NYSE... where trading could possibly be halted. The "limit down" rule triggering on futures made them explicitly say that trading will commence at normal hours - but it might be an absolute carnage. If we DO get the largest point loss on equities, then US trading will be halted - if it comes early in the session.
 
I guess I should be trading more and writing less ... hmmm

Actually, I think that USDJPY can go a lot lower too. That makes the EURJPY a little murkier and conflicted...
The IFR markets target of 89 is certainly within the possible range today into this session.


Supposedly EURUSD is capped just below 1.27 before the US open...
That actually means that it is a very good chance for well above 1.27 into the opening hour...
 
"Well-known supra-national" now bidding at EURUSD 1.26 just before US open ... ECB?

Unrolling of Yen on the crosses seem to have begun or being anticipated...

15:52 CET 1.27 EURUSD being eaten away now... it is keeping close to it and nibbling off that cap.

15:54 CET managed to pierce 1.27 - but will it run into the top and stay there...?
 
15:58 CET there she blows... :)

I think it will be volatile - just piercing that EURUSD 1.27 level and making headroom - but it is likely to end above 1.27 for the weekend - maybe even into 1.30 if there is more talk and backing up of the talk.

I have made damn near 200% overnight!

They have fucked me out of probably 200 pips or more tonight easy.

And that's assuming they don't bust out my trades.


Well they better not bust any of mine but I have an uncanny feeling they just might, they had me disconnected for 2 hours :mad:

21 trades, 21 wins, 1 open, +666 pips (oooh scary, 666, the sign of the devil

!!). Not 200% but a decent day's work considering!


Have a great weekend y'all.....yep, even you Gringinho, don't hate me man, it's only trading :)

That is so sick. I dont think in my entire trading career have I ever had 21 winners in a row. But I guess I am so greedy on each trade that if I did I would be taking some time off. LOL.
