I read that Options are guarding the 1.2500 level as well as 1.8560/35 agressively!
Will we see an up move later instead?
I wonder how the asians and Europeans would react?Ignored

Quoting SeekingLightDislikedExactly
Also see attached chart with PA, I was long an hour before the news.
Was also short cable and got stopped out for 3 pips for a too tight stop, else would have had a rather quick +40 as my limit got hit there as well

See attached chart.
When will the fundamental traders learn that the price is always right, not the "supposed to" of data releases and news?
What happens on your chart is (FX) reality, not the figures and estimates =)Ignored
Quoting merlinDislikedburger you are crazy thinking anything can put the dollar down. if a horrible retail sales number cant do it, what makes you think some stupid consumer survey can?Ignored
Quoting fspiraniDislikedI am trying ripple trading after report, not in spike. I put deviation for today's report on EX-Auto 0.3% and when I see report worse than 0.5, I put buy order with 50 pips stop loss. My stop loss was hit, lost 50 pips. I do not have patience to wait atleast 2 minutes to see where market is going. I lost too much. I will quit for 1 month, will study and come back.
Thanks guys, nice prediction here.Ignored
Quoting ShafiiDislikedI agree with you BK, chinese are eur/usd buyers now.

Quoting BurgerKingDislikedWatch out for the Consumer Confidence Number..
After everything calmed down after that, I call that people will be shorting USD just like yesterday!
Besides, there is TOTALLY nothing good for the USD on the retail. All were very NEGATIVEIgnored
Quoting ccmikeDislikedFor those that didn't already know the retail less gas came out at +.6%. Gas prices dropping drove the overall raw sales number down but the report does not include profits...just gross sales. Obviously if gas pricess fell....so did the cost to buy.....that is why the .6% increase was so important this morning. Retail sales are very strong....look at some of reports....very positive....less money for gas means positive spending elsewhere......which could mean (along with Moskow statements last night) the Fed could make 1 more increase as it doesn't look as though the economy is cooling as fast as originally thought....that why the bull run.....Damn Chineese though....I was looking for a break through 1.5000Ignored

Quoting BurgerKingDisliked.. beige book did not do anything to it.Ignored
Quoting merlinDislikedif gas dropped so much, shouldnt the consumer be spending that money elsewhere? i see many using this gas price drop as an excuse for the dollar strength, but i think its a bit of a stretch. another thing to consider, we KNEW gas prices went down in september, right? so why didnt the economists predict retail sales would go down? this number was worse than expected, i cant see any way around it.Ignored
