thin volume markets i think are usually very volatile... see thanksgiving weekend

a flat yield curve too...

my guess is that a sedative color for the background is optimal... something like a light grey/blue. even the FF background color would work.

looks like USD is in the 2670-2720 range we saw 2 wks ago....

if im placing a market order, its usually in the asia session (sometimes NY if its an entry order though), and im usually fine. if your positions last 3-5 days (some of mine are as well), your stop should be loose enough to protect against these ...

another interesting point from technical perspective... MA resistance on dailies in the mid 2700s...

any speculation on the morning's data? i hear that deviations of as low as 0.1% create movement. having said that, a strong/weak CPI combined with consistent data could break the pair out of its range.

2645 is key support and should hold up... have an entry at that level on the other side 2720 looks like resistance. again the 2645-2720 will probably hold till friday's CPI.

I agree. Gr... was going to take a long at 2700, and it would have netted me 20 pips ! Oh well... there's always next time. The pair has also crossed above its 10 MA line, and stochastics are pointing upwards.

eur/jpy made a run past 149 and dollar bulls were rejected at 2645. my speculation the boring summer days may start coming to an end this week... the pair should probably consolidate between 2645-2720/2750. Friday's CPI could induce a breakout, if ...

MAs are starting to turn over, but stochastics are oversold. Any fundamental support for the Euro this week?

eur/jpy is getting hammered... should keep eur/usd pinned to a certain extent

my guess is pair should encounter support at 2695, which is 50% of 1.2450-1.2940

wow the range has been broken... what next?

The odds are ridiculously in favor of no change..

mmm my long at 2814 was defeated overnight... but I managed to recoup losses with my entry order at 2775. lol i was bored at school sometime this morning and i checked dailyfx... first thing i saw was 2775. I'm not really liking what I'm seeing in ...

...What volatility we're seeing right now huh

What exactly is a finance major? In an econ major, you basically study fundamentals... what do you do in finance?

Lol, I started a demo with FXCM's fixed rate options program....just for fun. Ordered a DNT option with 2800 and 2880 as the upper and lower bound; expires tomorrow morning. Think it'll hang in there?
