  • 3 Reasons To Sell EUR/USD Targeting 1.2750 - Citi

    From efxnews.com

    EUR/USD could extend its latest drop in the very near term on the back of the following 3 reasons, says Citibank. 1- Euro banking sector risks seem to be on the rise yet again. The ratio between Eurozone and US bank stock indices has slumped close to its record low from July 2012. The last time the European bank stocks traded that low EUR/USD was close to 1.2000. These developments could be addressed at the upcoming EU summit on June 27-28. That said, the risk of disappointment remains and this could weigh on European bank stocks and the euro. 2- Government funding costs are moving back to their highest level since ... (full story)

Trade what you see. When you see a bank of broker start advising on which
direction to trade cover your ass, because your besat interest is not what concerns them.

Reason #1 to ignore this and take the Eur/Usd long:

When speculators go short, the market makers by definition, are taking the other side and are long.

The market makers have enough juice to move these pairs where ever they need to be so that said market makers turn a profit.

If You trade with the herd, You get slaughtered. Learn to trade against the herd.

Did everyone reading this notice that GS's trading arm made a profit every day but one in the last quarter? Do they trade with the herd or do they make the market?

That is a fundamental that You can profit from.

That is...

Agree! All what they do is trigger your stop loss and when you ready to sell they will buy again!!!

I can answer that one maria1 - of course not. It's not at all possible.

Even if you timed your entry "exactly" and only traded the absolute smallest contract available, you would still be margined if the trade only went against you as little as -20 pips.

it's not possible to make a living trading forex without a much , much , much larger account balance.

I've been a professional trader for years now, and have never seen / known anyone to survive more than a couple of months with anything less than 10k - let alone make an actual living.

-20 pips at 10cents/pip is $2 plus spread.
How does this margin out a $100 account?

When a bank or a monkey outfit broker posts analysis telling every man and his dog to go short followed by reasons or some pretty charts, you can bet one of your bollocks it'll fire off the other way over the coming days, to that end I'm gonna enter long @ 1.3025 with a stop down at 1.2925.

Hear hear!!

You are required to retain "x" amount of capital in your account depending on your individual brokers set up.

With only $100 in the account, under even the loosest of rules....you'll place your first trade...see it go -20 pips and see your account liquidated immediately....as you've now fallen "under" the minimum required reserves.

They don't tell you that - that's how they keep the bills paid.

I am not a senior member here but I did started with $100 about 4 years ago! I still in play! If you have a lot of time and patience ahead you will be fine! Think is your 100 as your 100000. Pay as much att to your trade start as like you have a lot to loose! Reason why I am not senior I was kicked out of thread many times since 2007! Good luck!

Interesting, was not aware of that.
My minimum starting amount was $1000 so not had experience with this.
But I'm pretty sure a US trader in here Albcher started with $100 last year and is at $400 or so now.

"All up, Citi added a short EUR/USD position to its G10 macro portfolio targeting a move t0 1.2750, with a stop at 1.3315 and a 2% VaR risk weight."
What the hell is a G10 Macro portfolio? how big is that?

maria 1 / All
small investment = big troubles
you do not have chance to secure your account if a trade goes against you as you invested a little amount.

But
if you have deep study and a master to guide you on every trade direction then it has the chance to survive in the market.

other wise you will be loss your time and money
