The news is only tradable in relation to expectations and psychological context. It has nothing to do with fundamentals. Fundamental trading requires ultra-long-term trades, so a discrepancy in one news release is all but irrelevant. <?xml:namespace ...

I consistently make 100% ROC in "2" days. But I also pay for that with 25-50% drawdowns. Be careful how you define impossible...

100% In 3 days.

With fed fund futures priced at >90% certainty, I would wager that the hike is pretty well priced into all markets at this point. CPI isn't going to make any difference with regard to this or future increases. We need Q2 preliminary GDP, the next ...

At what point is a June rate increase priced in to the EUR/USD?

I would be more concerned about Retail Sales then ppi and cpi. Regardless what they come out at the feds raising at the end of the month.

PPI & CPI this week... What are you expecting?

Set a target before you enter. If/when it gets hit, exit. If it keeps going, who cares? Forget about getting every pip, just be happy you didn't lose anything...

I agree with everyone here that trying to average 10 pips a day is a stupid plan. If you just want to half ass it and take any old random trade, then it isn’t going to work. But there is nothing wrong with looking for a single 10 pip trading ...

less pips and most lot

All the things that are great about coes will get thrown out the window if they use metatrader. No market depth, no matched transactions, no buying at bid/selling at ask, and no more realistic interbank pricing. What a waste.

I don't think you can get a price feed that quotes yields. The treasury products are traded on CBOT, but their priced via discount. To get the yield you have to reverse engineer the price information using the contract specs. If you're working off ...

EDIT: OK, I totally assed this up. Exporters are selling DOLLARS (I confused the underlier), or buying Yen. Exporters are implicitly long the dollar and are looking to get the most Yen for their holdings. If their buying Yen, then they expect that ...

CPI and Core CPI

All I know is the Japanese exporters are selling the dickens out of the Yen at the moment, so I wouldn't get too confident about any long dollar positons. These guys are strong hands and have the best forward looking data on the planet.

CPI and Core CPI

It's exclusively in the USD/JPY. Given the nature of the relative values across currency pairs, it would be impossible, and unnecessary to independantly manipulate the others. There is a simple mathmatical relationship between usd/jpy, eur/jpy, and ...

Trading JPY pairs

The BOJ hasn't taken a personal hand in the currency for several years. The BOJ makes comments, and sometimes it has an effect, but most of the manipulation is done by quasi-governemnt agencies. It's much cleaner for them... Granted, knowing that ...
