wildbill2u commented Oct 31, 2015Everyone seems to discount the possibility that a country in extremis might choose to go the route of default and withdrawal from the EU. It wouldn't be the first time that a government effectively declared bankruptcy or a new regime took control of ...

BOE Monetary policy summary and minutes of the Monetary Policy Committee meeting
- wildbill2u commented Oct 4, 2015
80% of the money in FX is made with the trend. I believed in the trend against the EUR and that the NFP would be a blip. Reinforced my dollar plays in Eur and Yen near the top of the move and went against the Eur at top of Eur/GBP. At my close out ...

I get the phantom spikes to take out a SL sometimes on Oanda at 3:59.59 PM. They basically respond that it is something to do with their bank closing out their books at 4:00 pm and for that shining 1 tick of a portion of a second, the spike took me ...

I also feel sorry for them since they tried to do the right thing in the Swissy disaster. However, the financial markets have no pity and we may be seeing the slow slide into bankruptcy for FXCM. That would be a shame since they have so many clients ...
Statement on FXCM Cybersecurity Incident
- wildbill2u commented Oct 2, 2015
This will probably prove to be a bump in the road to a stronger dollar in the long run as the world economy appears to be in worse shape than the US. Notice the Aussie barely moved and is already back to pre-NFP price. I see no reason for a trend to ...

Oanda offline for trades this morning but came back without any explanation except they were undergoing technical maintenance. Really? In the middle of the trading day. They didn't come back with a recommendation to change password. I can't believe ...
Statement on FXCM Cybersecurity Incident

US meets the expected unemployment rate and the Eur goes up against it. And the big banks are selling USD like crazy. Could this be a preparation for tomorrow's anniversary of 9/11 and an expected terrorist action in the US?

What puzzles me is that the computers of trading companies are working on electricity which moves at the speed of light. It's hard for me to understand how the computers can get bogged down, even with high volumes of trades. Are they actually ...

Fed has simply been reacting to events with this bunch of governors. Every little thing makes them hesitate. That's great if you are a trader, but doesn't make much sense if you are supposed to be making overall policy for the American economy. They ...

China turmoil needn't rattle BOJ, yen rise not a worry: Abe adviser
- wildbill2u commented Aug 21, 2015
Doesn't the Yen get a lot stronger and their exports more difficult to sell with a lot of currencies fleeing to this 'safe haven'? Will Japan Inc. like that? I think Japan is a dangerous currency in some respects because they have such a marriage ...
USDJPY stops taken out, new LOD
- wildbill2u commented Aug 21, 2015
Why is the yen considered to be a 'safe haven' currency? If all the money starts flowing into the yen, won't that make the yen stronger--and negatively affect this country's exports? Just askin' since I'm a relative newbie and have no economic ...
USDJPY stops taken out, new LOD

This is irresponsible. For any FX trade organization to begin this sort of thing is nothing short of an attempt to scam folks with very little money into a business that will eat up that $50 in no time. They must need money awfully badly to go into ...

and the Obamanauts are busily pumping up another mortgage credit bubble, not because of credible economics, but because of redistributionist philosophy. If I were running for President, I'd be scared to death that I will be blamed for the inevitable ...
