All operations to date had proceeded smoothly. Participation in ON RRP operations varied somewhat from day to day, in part reflecting changes in the ... (full story)

Many FOMC members wanted Tapering.
The Bulls Have Return!

People don't know any better. They listen to the news, hype and what other people blurt out on here. They will not be in the game very long.
Isn't gold a safe haven? Meaning only used for risk.

And didn't gold rally duringa US economical downturn?
the hole impact was 15 pips down which will go back probably once the conference is over happy trading to all who trade the FOMC at the moment I imagine the profits !!

sorry i did not get you well
Market is a little crazy at the moment, the Aud/Usd is now rebounding up and .8897 was totally rejected for the second time today.

Now the 38.2 retracement level has been rejected.

Never a good idea to chase prices!!!
Short USD is the Best Strategy. This is quite obvious on major parameters.
what i mean is to see chart that shows buy for gold , gbp and eur. i've tried to attache the H4 chart here that people can see what my system shows, but no luck(
Taper pierdaper !

The real economy will come and bite everyone asses - aside from big boys banks and hedge funds who are having a loud lough reading posts on various trading forums but FF I think is their read of the day.
Low life or pond life (as this doped and sickly reach bastards call retail traders and anyone who has not sitting on pillows of cash) meantime is trying to make a sense of of shit being peddled by reuters and bloombers.
Retail pond life struggling to make a sense from what they can see donates money to brokers and bucket shops. Is the same as horse racing - game is kept by well informed and in the making. Stop delusions of grandiosity and either trade some mechanical system keeping the set of rules or go and do something which will make you money, give your private and family life back and stop getting into gambling addiction.
Howgh !
No way........Buy........USD
Gold is off 5 bucks. Big deal.

SO many trashy post here from kind - "Buy usd","Short usd""buy gold" "sell GU" - everyone is just spitting whatever comes into their mind I am rdy to bet that 90% of the traders in FF trade accounts form 500 to1000$ and no more. And every once and a while they burn one of those. Another donation to the market !! Happy trading to all I really hope everyone to be able to make money of the market, but thats impossible

And why did you feel compelled to post this?
You are bordering on being 80% correct. Yet there are those that don't and use the forum to pass time and market talk when especially position trading. Just need to know where to look. and now there is a new system.. seems you are reading the wrong or scalping only threads.

Personally I cannot stand posts with no reasoning that say buy EUR now! Or sell this that or the other.

Yet, if you feel you have some valuable insight why not start a new thread?

Read more news. Techs alone IMO are not enough to trade FX or Commodities successfully,
even if you read 100 headlines a day, you have done your own DYODD, also based of the economic calendar. News moves the market, with fundamentals, techs are there to trade when there is nothing else cooking, yet major levels always need be known and respected.
JUST IMO.... do as you feel is right for you.

Exactly.. FOMC is always important. Yet, it depends what's on the chopping block.

The tapering is / was already announced. That has been a MAJOR one for a while.

Wait for NFP for a nice release to trade! Good luck all.

Xtrade thanks for your informative advice's i will
ok guys..u.....r..right.........i closed my trade only+10pips. now i on sell usd/////////
News like this is to wishy washy to be trading, its better to trade news that is more obvious something like a jobs report where 250,000 jobs were created up from 100,000 or an interest rate hike from 2% to 2.5%.
got 20 pips from buy EUR/USD. thanks all.

although the early of the year saw the strength of us dollar, the market direction won't change much. LIKE ANY OTHER YEARS

I agree waiting for day close
Goldmans recommendation of Long usdcad is working out handsomly, 1.09 tomorrow 1.10 next week
Today's unemployment claims might create some volatility in the market , however the Friday NFP release will give direction to the market.(USD pairs) Also the GBP news release today might give direction to pound movement.These are the best trading times.
So you are trying to say that Friday NFP release will lead USD to the trend ? GBP news release today also will lead the GBP trend? Sorry newbie here.

These are my views, however many a times fundamentals does not have the effect it is predicted to have.

whatever trend is just follow it......sometime trends follow fundamentals or sometime it doesn't so first make your own trading system and don;t follow other blindly always use your brain

1 thing you right I read this post to pass time and have some fun, I don't need to read trading systems in FF. If i wanted to lose my money I would rather do it different way. I don't follow trading system because they never work, trading system might work for 1 person and not for other, we are different people with different minds and characters. One trading system create by some1 else can't suite you. And about the positioning I know 3 months before to open my position, so I am prepared with plan and all the details and I follow it. And guess what - it works most of the time. AS one of my heroes G.Soros said -"It is not important how much you make form the market, what matters is when you lose- How much you lose? and When you win - How much you win? -
Happy trading and kind regards
