DislikedWhile you think about it, here's my reasoning

DislikedDo you know if the percentage numbers mean much? I've heard they have an impact, just not sure about it. At around 1.02 I could see being long (short-term) , but then when it approaches 1.04 I could see retail traders shorting. Don't know.. I'm long-term long usd/cad, and retail traders are fickle and will change in a few days.Ignored

DislikedI only have sentiment readings going back to last Friday on the platform and 76% were long last Friday morning and it looks to have just increased most of this week. The readings have been $ bearish on all pairs as traders are long on the US$ across the board except for the EUR which just flippped last night to a long bias (and it tanked). 69% long on USD/CHF as well.
I would say a few of the USD/CAD traders are sweating at the moment so any recovery of USD/CAD and there will probably be a few exiting their positions.

DislikedI have accounts at Oanda, FX Solutions (US), CMC Markets (UK) and FXCM (UK). I like to spread the risk.Ignored
DislikedHi shoeysfish. The twice daily sentiment readings are only available on FXCM's trading platform although they do a weekly sentiment index on their website. I think Puks found something.
I have accounts at Oanda, FX Solutions (US), CMC Markets (UK) and FXCM (UK). I like to spread the risk. My favourite broker by far is Oanda though - been with them since September last year and wish I had opened an account with them years ago. Fabulous spreads and great execution and you have so much more control over your account as in being able to create sub-accounts...Ignored
DislikedHi,
Could you elaborate on what do you mean by spread the risk? I guess there's always a risk using one broker, if they don't pay you. Is that what you mean?Ignored
DislikedYep, I don't want all my money with one broker. I very rarely trade with FX Solutions anyway. Their spread on A/J is 7 pips whereas Oanda is usually 2.4 or so. I've been waiting for the big KABOOM those cable traders have been going on about since about July last year so I can change those US$ back into GBP (or even some other currency) and the bloody thing has gone back up again!! What a drag - lolIgnored

Another reason to have more than one broker is to hedge your position(s) if a dealers platform goes down: not common in my experience, but FXCM and others have had problems lately and I've noticed GoMarkets (Saxobank white labelled) has had some recent glitches. Going back about 3 to 5 years I used this hedging with another broker several times but luckily was made good by IB on each occasion.
By-the-way, I enjoy your charts and thoughts on this thread Clouds.Ignored
