It looks like the DXY is on it's 5th and final wave; should get a nice correction if the FED does not remove the word "patience" (in reference to rate hikes) next week. The Bullish bias is certainly there as everyone thinks USD can do no wrong.

This pair has taken a chunk out of my account as well, the monthly chart is insane, biggest move since the markets collapsed in 2008. I certainly didn't see that coming, will be looking for medium-longer term short near 1.30 if we get there. At this ...

I agree, I do not think the wild swings are finished yet; although I have been completely out of this pair and expressed no more interest in trading it, I decided to start a small long position; only targeting 60. We're in that 53-55 range now, ...

Huge RUB gain today after Central Bank measures... back down to 60. I wonder how low this can go, can't see much lower than 55.

I just noticed that crazy spread on Forex.com, was taking a peek out of curiosity... I swore off trading this pair for now, but I can't say I won't dip a toe going short if we hit 90 or 100 tonight lol

Scary times indeed; the move over the last 2 days on USD/RUB and weathering that psychological storm as well as risk management (thank goodness for micro lot adds) make trading all other pairs much more comfortable; I'll be trading exclusively back ...

Good luck RusCheese, you seem to have a good fundamental understanding of the situation as far as Ukraine and sanctions go; over time, I'm sure you'll profit nicely on this trade.

I'm out, closed all shorts in the 67's. Too many brokers are no longer going to allow trading the RUB and/or increasing margin requirements. Small adds with microlots turn into big gains/losses. This is too volatile for me, I'd like to sleep ...

The Russian stock market has been getting pummeled along with the Ruble; is it just me or does seem like the perfect opportunity to get in (if anyone is able to)? Rubles are dirt cheap right now and you can buy those Russian stocks dirt cheap as ...

It's usually much higher and much faster than most people think; There was a guy spouting off about 70 on here and I'm sure some of us thought he was nuts, especially after we went from 67 back down to 58. But lo and behold, not only did it hit his ...

Wow, and I thought yesterday's daily candle was insane; today's dwarfs that! From the low of 58 to the high of 80, we've moved 35% in a day, absolute insanity. I've been having some trouble with opening/closing positions on Forex.com (something like ...

Sucks for anyone who got caught long trying to "chase"; but also for some early shorts... at least they'll be able to discount most of today's losses. That is the scary thing about Exotic pairs; the volatility can be scary enough; but you never know ...

Talk about volatility; jumped under 60, spiked over 61 and now under 60... the question is, do we get a red candle by the end of the week with the most insanely high upper wick we'll probably see? 58 is going to be very telling.

A 12.6% plunge in a single day must've caused panic and they had to let the market know they can Bite hard when backed against the wall. The market thought they were all bite and no bark. I think this buys them time until the price of oil rises and ...

It can certainly go back up, but this hike was absolutely huge! A similar thing earlier this year absolutely killed Turkish Lira shorts for months... the USD/TRY has since gone up to all new records today in fact, but that interest rate hike ...
