Just rolled out of bed to one of my favorite set ups. A literal and figurative morning stiffy Short @0774 looking for 30-40 pips to get the day started. SL BE before the coffee is even brewed. Please refer to infantile chart below for cute ...

EURUSD

Nothing is ever as simple as it looks, but this seems like a no brainer trade to me. Short @.6574. Keeping a tight 15 pip SL as a break above here would likely pop to .6600-20 area. Beware low liquidity fake break

The One: Price Action and Reaction

I have been following that thread from the start, quite entertaining. I just got out of college and have been making coffee for my boss for the past two years at a firm no one has ever heard of = PRO

The real way to kill it in fx

No worries. I was thinking to myself, "is my understanding of macro-economics so limited that I can't see the connection between the US bond market and the AUD/NZD currency pair?" Agree, it has been a long day

OANDA Discussion

Hard to say for sure. I am assuming all of your numbers were typed in correctly. Have you had a recent address change?

OANDA Discussion

Thanks for your insight, plausible, but I'm not buying it. I am assuming "big orders" are fairly common in the course of the days events. Certainly hard to trade with any confidence if you know this can and will happen at the flick of a switch. ...

It was actually 1pm EST, I live on the west coast

OANDA Discussion

This isn't a "my failures are all Oanda's fault" rant. I can make bad trades all by myself without Oanda's help I have been trading with Oanda for a few years now and have always been satisfied with the deposit/withdrawal functionality. In ...

OANDA Discussion

Agree, hard to say US "smoke and mirrors" welfare state economy is any better than Australia's economy. However, two points that I think keep pressure on the Ozzie and may be in the back of people's minds. 1) Interest rates: US - hold or raise, ...

AUD/USD

Same here, decided 200 pips was good enough. On the sidelines for now, see what price action does at 108, should be an area of tough resistance now.

AUDNZD

121.20 will be a tough nut to crack

USD/JPY Discussion

Looks like some SL's were triggered above 107 as we got a nice pop up, hopefully there will be some consolidation and a move towards 108 Continued pressure on dairy prices is the flavor of the day, maybe another tick up for the Kiwi unemployment ...

AUDNZD

Well played, some nice green for you

NZD/USD

Morning and congrats. I initiated my longs in the 105.35 area and have taken most off the table. If 107 can be broken, then I believe 108 is possible. Most might find this a stretch but I am targeting 110 by the end of the month. Good luck!

AUDNZD

Update: Target hit nearly to the pip, hourly divergence play worked out nicely. Have a good weekend all

USD/CHF

20 pips in the green, SL moved to BE, hope we can reach TP by the weekend

USD/CHF

Seems like a good opportunity to take a contrarian short at 9944 on the FOMC spike, and a bit of divergence. Conservatively targeting 9877

USD/CHF

Hey, where did all of the traders in the 75-76 camp go

AUD/USD

Rate hike not expected makes for an interesting situation. After the rate cut last month, the Kiwi (after initial spike down) proceeded to rise roughly 600 pips, nearly a 10% gain, that can't be what the doctor ordered for an export heavy economy, ...
