exactly. This does not make any sense to me at all. I've gotten absolutely crushed today. I have now learned my lesson in terms of trading the NFP. Never again.

EURUSD

anybody else looking for a bounce off the support level at 4209? EDIT: nevermind. As I was writing that it blew right past it.

EURUSD

I can't wait for the NFP; it seriously is like christmas for forex to me.

EURUSD

yeah I made like 3 or 4 pips and I got out. I'm just glad I stuck with it because that was an enormous candle down. I missed the short though because I usually trade the eurusd exclusively.

I don't understand the spike. Equities are down, as is oil. This doesn't make any sense.

EURUSD

yeah I'm going to hold on, its flattened out now and I'm hoping it will bounce off the 9260 support level. If it breaks that this thing is going to the floor.

USD/JPY Discussion

wow it completely blew through 93.25. I bought a large order there and now I'm like 50 pips in the hole. I absolutely did not see that happening.

USD/JPY Discussion

I'm wondering the same. Normally there are never 20 plus pip moves in this short of a time frame on Sundays. Especially considering China/Japan haven't even opened yet.

EURUSD

Why would the price be moving right now? The market is closed everywhere but there's candles forming? What is going on? EDIT: The spreads are moving too.

EURUSD

I placed a long at 4283 around an hour before the market closed on Friday and I wish I wouldn't have closed it for 10 pips or so. I think it will fall for next week, but I do think there will be a significant bounce off 4280 as it is a fairly ...

University of Michigan numbers better than forecasted but dow still falls. I see a retracement back to at least 4347, if not lower.

EURUSD

bad call on my part, I am now 47 pips down. I have no idea what is going on; I've only been trading for like 6 months but this is completely unprecedented.

EURUSD

this is incredible. I've got a short in at 4340. This thing HAS to come back down a bit.

EURUSD

I wondered the same thing, but they just made a good point on CNBC; when equities increase the dollar MAY begin to increase now because people will start pricing in the possible increases in interest rates that are made by the fed during a strong ...

EURUSD

Even though the claims/gdp numbers took the market down here I think we see it continue on the upward trend at least for the next few hours. I got in long at the bottom of the 7:30 candle on the 5 minute chart and I'm looking at 15 pips or so.

EURUSD

yeah I think I'm going to ride it out; the equities markets liked the number and luckily that's transferring to the eurusd as well. I'm 27 pips down but I still think we're due for a retracement after the almost 100 pip fall in the past 5 or 6 hours. ...

EURUSD

If we see a home sales number of around 395-400 shouldn't that make the dollar weaker, thus sending the pair UPWARDS? I went long as of 4252 because of the support levels there and I'm getting crushed. I can't decide whether to suck it up and take ...

EURUSD

I'm expecting it to retrace back to at least 4143 but I think it will get momentarily stuck at 4100 on the way back up.

EURUSD

I'm long at 4214 because of the support there. I'll scalp 10 pips or so and then get out.

EURUSD

yeah me too. Actually, do you just want my account number/password so you can input my trades for me? Thanks.
