I'm going to start building a short also, but I will be going from 4970 to 5060. There is "supposed" to be an option barrier before 4975, and a large barrier at 1.5000. Info below is posted from the Oanda newsfeed... Presumed [EUR/USD] option ...

With the media helping out with headlines like this (pasted below), it's no wonder people think everything is rosey. I keep waiting for Wall Street to pull the rug out from under everone. Maybe there aren't enough sheep back in the market, who ...

A rate increase tomorrow would cause a huge bull dollar move... very long term if nobody else raised rates. You might want to read about interest rates and carry trades... url

My opinion is, the "powers that run forex" do not want the dollar sitting at the low of the year going into the G20 meeting. I am expecting a pullback to the daily pivot or S1. Why? That's just my short term trading idea. I think we're seeing the ...

I might sound like an ass also, but I'm not meaning to be. You've brought up a subject I have been fixated on for years... You're saying they are lagging indicators of each other, but they are not. Those are charts of ACTUAL prices, one is the DOW, ...

Risk aversion, the same thing we saw in the beginning of the year.

All the news coming over the wire this morning is weak, weak dollar. These are all "analyst projections" but I would have to agree with them. With deficits hitting all time highs, the only thing I see helping the dollar would be a major correction ...

Yeah, I'm sure I did a visual backtest and nothing stood out for me. Now that I just did it again, look at the 7 day trend that started on March 10th... that 8th day is a bitch...

When I read this, it triggered something I had seen before. Then I remembered I had read a strategy about "so many days trending"... finally found it if anyone is interested... I don't use it or endorse it or have even read it yet... url

I only trade the EUR/USD, but I'm trading a 1 min chart. I tried trading GU, UC, and AU, but on a minute minute chart there is a too much going on and I was missing good signals on EU, which I'm more familiar with the movement and consider my bread ...

3. No, I said they beat expectations, and all gave higher guidance for next quarter. Expectations were so f*cking low, of course they beat, because they laid off people (the easiest way for a company to dump costs). If you listened to any conference ...

1. You're right. I was assuming the original poster was talking about making money. With a micro account you can put in a long here and ride it out til 2020. I was talking about making money. I quit my job 3 months ago and live off my earnings... ...

My personal opinion... traders like us cannot trade using fundamentals. We can all have an 'idea' of where it is gonig and why, but we do not have a big enough account to ride out the fundamental aspects of forex. Example.... I really, really ...

Get out or keep building, depends on how it looks. When building one of these, a 50% retrace anywhere along the way will get you out at breakeven (if it doesn't look good, or if you lose your nerve). The whole point of building up a short (or long) ...

Agree with your plan. I'm starting to build a short also, first position 1.4585. Not afraid of 1.47 either, will keep building up to 1.48. Will be scalping short also if given the opportunity, keeping my orginal builtup short in place, taking my ...

Very cool, I've been looking for something like this to play around with some correlation/hedge stuff. This is exactly what I needed. I can tell you've put a lot of work in this and the instructions are awesome. Thanks for your work on this, it's ...

There has to be a ton of stops just over 1.4450, if it hits, could shoot to 1.4470 easy, 1.4480 at least. 1.4480-1.4490 looks to be another good short, of course, if it gets past the DNT at 1.4450.
