Spiky you say? Parabolic move to say the least. These are the moves that correct quite violently. Can you say "Oil" anyone? "Aussie Dollar" maybe? I don't know if it will actually make it to parity or not. However, I do know that one nasty ...

UK joining the Euro? EURGBP at 1.0000 ?

Advice would be to wait, until the 5th of January or so to make any trades.

Possible Scenarios of the Situation Development with EUR/USD in early 2009.

EUR/GBP, not GBP/USD.

eur gbp short what u think ?

He's as big as a Mack truck! Thanks for asking. I can't wait to see your next thread.....and no worries, being profitable (like the 2 threads would make a trader be so far....) is always interesting! Clockwork

The System II (Yes with irony)

I am confused: I thought you ask for people's opinion. I guess not, since you have already made up your mind about GFT. So please, stop clogging up the internet with this nonsense. As far as Hipster is concerned, I have no doubts as to his ability ...

GFT Forex Discussion

I didn't really have any issues with GFT either. I got slipped in my favor 50 pips once on an absolute meltdown in USD/USD. (Feb of 2007). They knew about it because I called to make sure all was good - they even let me keep it. Go figure. It is a ...

Spoken like someone that doesn't understand technicals.

Why Indicators will fail you

Pay attention children - like the man said "due to the nature of the markets". Somewhere around this forum there are people in a thread talking about EUR going to 2 next year. Funny, because there is a huge amount of puts being lined up for 1.20 in ...

The System II (Yes with irony)

Yes. Wait until after Non-Farm Payroll Friday to place any new trades. It's the holidays, and nobody is out there trading. Leave it be until then.

Yes, the interest rates are 7.5% vs. 0.25%. A great carry trade, in theory at least. As far as announcements and economic releases, there is always this site: url After all, it's India's Central Bank. They might know a few things about the Indian ...

USD/INR for Carry Trades

Uh. Hello? — How many large orders do you think are being filled a few days before Christmas? It comes down to it being an illiquid market.

Wide broker Spreads

I would venture to say there is a reason for this. And it's simple. This doesn't happen to those people very often, so when it does - they gloat. But then again, gloating shows a lack of self-control, and in that....a lack being able to ride it out ...

Who Got Rich and Who Got Burned?

UNTIL it's broken, it shows failed attempts. When we were talking, they hadn't been broken. But as a general rule, when a trade goes like that, I tend to take the surer trade. And did. After all, since we are NOT actually trading anything, it never ...

EUR/USD flagging south this coming week

2.0? No. I don't think this at all. 1.38, 1.42, and 1.48 were all levels to watch is all. Another thought that has kept me out of this is that it IS the last real trading week of the year. A lot of larger funds will shore up the books at the end of ...

EUR/USD flagging south this coming week

Stop annoying me.

Advice Only. 1 Liners Concise.

Here is something interesting.... USD/CHF plummets 400 pips. Meanwhile, EUR/USD spikes, and STOPS SUDDENLY. (At the 50% fib from down trend.) EUR/GBP got above .90, and sat there. This could be interesting.

EURUSD a huge buy above 1.2736

Dont have the chart in front of me (daily) - but I seem to remember about a 100 pip area above this pin, which is why I passed. As you develop as a trader - you will learn that s/r lines are more often than not "ZONES", and can be quite wide at ...

Simple. Because Canada and Scotland both suck. Actually, this John Mauldin guy is normally just about right on the money. I receive his articles via email, and am very, very, impressed with him. Granted, most of the time he is talking about ...

Second Mortgage Crisis Coming? How does it effect USD?

By definition, any time you have long wicks like that....it's not. But that's neither here nor there. What really matters is if people, like myself, who thought the other way waited for set ups to short. I did, it didn't come. Oh well. No trade, no ...

EUR/USD flagging south this coming week

Not nearly as interesting as the weekly chart.
