You should have known that BOJ intended to intervene. To profit from it, you could have set a buy limit order and expected the price to get there filling your order and then going in the desired direction. This is what I've done but it missed my ...

LOL. The first sell-off was due to the BOJ intervention on monday morning, nothing to do with any imaginable Papandreou's tip-off. The second sell-off started probably as expectation of another intervention and coincided with his decision. Anyone ...

Right. Corporations, investment banks, conspiracies, killed presidents, fat cats. The morons on the streets are financially illiterate. They have no idea where the money come from, what is the role of the government and the role of the banks, what a ...

The events in Europe have a big impact right now on all currencies. To find about the vote it is enough to read the headlines on Bloomberg or watch TV.

The market changed direction because nobody wanted to be caught short during the EFSF vote in Germany.

Only if you believe in the mayan prophecies for the end of 2012. The EU is here to stay for a vey long time, even if I like it or not. Some countries will go back to their pre-2001 currencies but they will remain in the EU without sharing the ...

She is not celebrated enough. In order to understand her work and ideas you must first understand her origins and the historical context. She promoted her ideas in a period when socialism and even communism seemed to work better than the free ...

Oh no. Let Pokerfxtrade explain his approach without interferences from another thread. We have the opportunity of hearing some coherent and logical stuff.

Some german politicians and Findland's prime minister had this idea but it was dismissed from the beginning. Probably Greece will lease some islands or parts of them to foreign companies in order to invest in tourism. It is a good idea because they ...

They will not sell their assets and don't even think of islands, that's for sure. Yes, maybe they'll privatize some companies belonging to the state but nothing more than that. But don't forget, nobody forced the government to borrow so much. If Joe ...

Nobody wants to take control of a country by lending money, that's the stupid way of doing it. In the end a country will default or some dictatorial regime will be installed and the lenders will never see the money again. And forget about this ...

I know that you're in the conspiracy theory, but: In case of the US the lenders are some countries with which the US have a trade deficit but also a lot of other smaller entities. In Japan the population seems to be the biggest lender. In Europe are ...

Decrease your leverage by a factor of 10. If you are profitable, increase it by 10% until you find your real threshold of pain.

Probably because it doesn't work, it is only a random line on a chart. We have a market because there's always an imbalance of buyers and sellers. The Newton's law finds relations between forces in equilibrium. According to Newton the market would ...

Call it as you wish, if the US will be downgraded the cost of borrowing to sustain more debt will go up. I also see a political crisis in US, with republicans blackmailing an inept Obama.

I meant that they will probably raise the ceiling and for 1-2 months the markets will switch back to the euro crisis. But long term there's no solution other than some kind of default for US, Greece and Portugal.

I'd sell euro because it has the biggest risk after the US debt is solved. Why selling the strongest currency instead of the weakest?

I didn't understand correctly, I thought you mean that it is impossible to curve fit due to the size of data and not that the data is big enough to prove that your system works. @redlion: It doesn't matter which kind of moving average you use or if ...

The exact parameters are meaningless if the market is trending, 13/39 and 40 days will probably be as profitable as 11/27 and 32 days or 8/17 and 15 days. I'd say any automated trading system works as long as the market is trading and you take all ...

It seems to me that right now is a hunt for 1.45 on EURUSD.
