oanda — Oanda is fabulous at what they do and how they do it, unfortunately no indices (CFDs). I'm also thinking of opening an account with FXCM too, and I can confirm their relentless quest for talking to you .

EURUSD

short? — I'll join the short club above 1.02 if this turns out to be what technical guys call a 'measured move'.

EURUSD

oanda — Yes, they always do. Perfectly normal, if you take the interpretation of the bid/ask spread as the risk premium for dealing with someone who might know more than they do (before such an event). PS. Missed the "didn't" part...I need ...

EURUSD

short? — I hope you closed that short. I didn't go long, because my criteria was not satisfied, but almost.

EURUSD

GMT+4 — I'm in Tehran, two hours ahead . PS. Before anyone asks, no I am not in Tehran, just mixed up the timing of the CBI industrial order expectations with the SNB. What a bummer though!

EURUSD

Swiss libor — Good thoughts. Should the SNB raise the libor rate by 25 bps most of the things you are describing could happen real soon, but I am having tremendous difficulties believing that they are ready to raise. Well, we'll see in two ...

EURUSD

data — Does he provide the appropriate data (or provider) to go with it or you can feed your own?

EURUSD

trend is up — From a more fundamental point of view I am not so sure. CPI came at 3.1% so our dear friend Mervyn is writing his letter why inflation is higher than planned. If it doesn't abate there will be calls to raise interest rates. Now, ...

Cable Update (GBPUSD)

oracle — While the advice of oracles has mostly been respected, think of Greek tragedies (I don't mean the debt crisis, but Homer and all that stuff), I am sure there are cases when the oracle has been kicked in the butt for being hazy about ...

Cable Update (GBPUSD)

easy game? — Sorry to disappoint, but if we ALL knew the numbers it would be the same game. The only thing which would make it easy is that if only you would know the numbers. If that's the case, I'd appreciate a tip off !

Cable Update (GBPUSD)

I really appreciate these summaries: terse, and to the point, most of the time well argued. Thanks!

EURUSD

gold — Gold just hit a new high.

EURUSD

SOS tratos — If you have a pointer (link) to all their calls in PDF or plain text, I can do a backtest for their gains and max drawdown for a given time horizon. I find that MDD is equally important.

EURUSD

reds and yellows — Out of the 13 yellows, and 13 reds (if I counted well!) which one ? Gold is up by 10.50, I guess the gold traders expect EUR strength.

EURUSD

puts — To buy one you need somebody who sells it to you. Same number.

EURUSD

calls and puts — Thanks. So we can interpret this as the interest in buying EUR at 128, 1285, ,129 is decreasing, while the interest in selling EUR at 128, and 127 increased. And the 1285, 129 puts are too expensive. Anything else I miss or ...

EURUSD

a place pairs like to turn — [quote=gatorinla;4004608] May I ask for clarification: return as in printing the same price (ie frequently printed price) or the price where the most time is spent? I've been playing with an indicator based on the ...

EURUSD

BoJ — Has there been a statement from the BoJ? They should be going to bed soon there...

EURUSD

funny NFP — This has been the funniest NFP ...ever. Noone has a clue whether the numbers should be considered good or bad or what. The effect isn't much, but we are just clueless!

EURUSD

oanda is back to 0.9. I guess we soon learn what caused the spike. Is anyone looking at DJ Wires?
