The Federal Reserve announced late Thursday that it was raising its discount rate in order to push banks to borrow from the private market for short-term credit. In a statement, the Fed said it would raise its discount, or primary credit rate, to ...

That was a quick 50 pips over shabby data, buyers missing in action...

If you want to gamble a little: Buy her as low as possible ahead of the news.

The pound is being sold off after the European news... EUR is going up, the dollar continuing to climb lower. Seems like the pound had the biggest reaction..?

It it works, stick with it! And, good luck! Regarding EA's or computers in general: Following rules are their specialty. No human can do that any better But if a general sense of the market, or some speculation, is supposed to be a ...

Then no reason to trade it manually, right? You should get this system automated (or at least semi-automated), i.e. create an "Expert Advisor" to trade for you. Ok, I know it's not that easy. But seriously, might be an idea if your system is very ...

SL moved to BE. Let's see if it's able to survive the asian session...

Nah, no good. Closed (BE).

Long @ 1.6520, SL @ 1.6494.

Crude's continuing UP

Good luck, may the rocket be with you!
