i appreciate your viewpoint. but its not every day you see a report where retail spending forecasts are crushed with 3-4%. consumer spending is key to domestic growth, especially now, in times like these... it looks to turn south now, but im still ...

yeah but still, the numbers that was just release 20min ago was BIG greens, it should have exploded the USD, even if its just a short temporary move (retail doesn't represent that big of a piece of the market). instead, the EURUSD actually moved up ...

Figures just released on retail. alot of times the last weeks the "actua"l has crushed "forecast", on the green side, but USD seems to go the other way. why is this happnening time and time again, anyone has some suggestions?

image Closing 1/3 as 1.36. Expecting a run after fake out from the red ADP numbers.

hopefully the ism news will act as a catalyst. whats your target? 1.35, 1.34? i think 1.3440 looks solid

aiming to close my sell at 1.285, just above the gap. best of luck

why have you choosed the TP where you have if i may ask? there is still a bit of ground to cover for the gap to be closed.

u thought XM found a way around it, by survey, they could "conclude" that i was a professional trader and for that reason allow me to continue to have higher leverage. now I just found in my inbox, what all of you have already found... is there any ...

why is it collapsing on red news, any ideas??

thanks for the posts, very interesting!

For people who are likeminded like me, here is some a couple of carrots for a longer-term bullish view. The report includes numbers on how the big boys position themselves on futures, might be worth a read. url
