10 pips a day can make you rich quickly

Merlin, Thought you weren't going to show this morning. Then again, a lot of error problems this morning on the forum and you seem to live on FF. I agree. The US TIC should be orange. I have trade history since 2004 to show the TIC has moved prices.

See what I mean, BK. On the USD/CAD, 20 pips within 30 seconds. This time I had the right direction, not like the CAD report. The CAD report recovered and I made a 4 pip profit but I wasn't going to miss the US TIC.

Historically, the US TIC does move the prices by about 20-30 pips. Over the years this report has been less looked at. I feel it is a mistake to overlook this report.

Bloomberg is announcing that someone tried to break into the White House today. Maybe the poor guy had a bad forex trade. Looks like it moved the USD/CAD up.

I'm waiting for the TIC. I'm looking for recovery from this hour.

Damn, now I have to wait to get out and minimize my loss. Not going to be too long a wait since the USD is still stronger than the CAD in the long run.

USD/CAD — I'm long on USD/CAD based on currency strength. Only time will tell. I've got a 50 pip SL

It seems like a bad week to trade anyway. CAD strength is so low today. The strongest currencies right now seems to be the CHF and the AUD.

Possible but then how do you explain the sudden surge in strength JPY had in the last 3 minutes? This is a weird market.

USD/CAD or USD/JPY — I'm looking at the USD/CAD and USD/JPY for this trade. US TIC does move but sometimes it is delayed. At present, the USD is strengthened over both the CAD and the JPY. Always good to trade a stronger currency against a ...

Predicting direction of economic releases

Great Analysis — NewstraderFX, Now that is a wonderful analysis. I trade for the initial expectations spike and then I am out of the trade. It is the 12-15 pips I am after. I've seen more but if it backs up by 5 pips during the initial ...

Predicting direction of economic releases

I understand and am not offended in any way by the comment. In the past week, I've been paid an advance from a publisher to write a book on this very subject so I'm on hold at the moment from making "predictions". It seems that this thread has made ...

Predicting direction of economic releases

If you trade, you are going to experience this no matter what. If you live in a climate that has rough winters like I do in the northeastern USA, you might experience a power outage, phone service disruption, or being snowed in. In any case, your ...

News Service Discussion Who is the fastest?

Sorry. For now, I just trade currency. My interpretation of bonds, bills, and notes may not be the correct one. I treat them all as cash. US treasuries, in my view, are USD. If the treasuries move ahead of a news release, I see it as the USD moving ...

I don't have the luxury to make such accusations that news media skate around the law. I have colleagues who trade for people in media as managed accounts. I personally know that the dishonesty you claim as naive, does not happen. People who are ...
