I haven't looked at it, but the interest differential short is too much for me to shoulder.

One funny thing is... You rarely see people posting about their losing trades on these boards. I know it's cliche, but it's interesting nonetheless.

How many PIPS you made/lost - Dedicated to NFP

yeah trying to pick a bottom in carry trade, is silly. I ahve been scalping for weeks now, and all a sudden I think I call a bottom in JPY pairs? Oh well, just an impromptu trade. You win some, you...

Braggadocio is so droll.

How many PIPS you made/lost - Dedicated to NFP

Took a shower came out up 50 pips...set stop to BE and watched the profit evaporate. Back to the drawing board. I try to let profits run, they evaporate. I take profits early, i miss on a huge run. I must be missing something. EDIT: by the way, it's ...

Time to start sinking teeth into AUDJPY carry? I am in at 95.54, will add on dips, and on the climb. Looking for AUDUSD to continue upward strength and a recovery in USDJPY to fuel the fire.

Long AUDJPY - — This may be the trade of choice for 2008. AS the value of the AUD raises against the dollar, the carry trade metric starts to work further in AUDJPY favor vs other currently more lucrative pairs like GBPJPY. Granted there is ...

Good luck man. I hear the plea of the dollar long, but I can't buy into it.

EURUSD

The world's gone mad. Still not trading in this slop. What's worse: The pound or the dollar? I'd have to say the pound seems overvalued on any metric. That country is done as a financial empire now that they can't borrow up to their teeth.

Cable Update (GBPUSD)

I like that! Yeah, I am not jumping in yet

Remember last report ADP was completely wrong as a forecast for actual NFP. It's all a bunch of BS. Let the banks hash it out and join the fray .... I don;t know when anymore.

5-10% a trade is possible, maybe not a day though. I've had runs where I did just that, problem is that was the forex market before Subprime meltdown. Things seems to have changed. I scalp for 1-8% now intraday. But I have had some losers too, so ...

10% Profit Possible?

Yeah I was looking at it long, and it popped 20 pips before I could click buy, so I am staying on the sidelines until these "railroad tracks" on the daily make up their mind. I am thinking more long AUDUSD and AUDJPY for 2008 once the market ...

Heads or tails? — Coin flip? Kills me to watch all the money making action go by untouched, but it's just too darn risky, IMO.

Unbelievable. Was that the definition of a whipsaw? hehe It worked on me. Can't believe over 150 pips now.... AARRRGGGHHHH!

Stoci just looks weaker and weaker...buyer are out of gas. IMO We have until march to hit 1.50, so what until then? I am not willing to put money behind my call at this point though. huge open interest in March 1.54 calls and puts...likely target ...

Everything worked out — I saw a news a flash that the senate passed the stimulus package on CNBC, but it wasn't "the" senate, it was the house senate, so my move was premature. The idea was that with americans with an extra 100 billion to ...

This could be the last blip before the effects of the chance in sentiment from "Commitment of Traders" report. Recently dropped below oscillation axis for large institutions...and retail about done loading up shorts too but still in long territory ...
