at this point if u look at the daily there is no sign at all of cable weakness we have a really big bullish candle.. selling into that is very hard and dangerous... picking tops is difficult when dollar fundamentals are so bearish...

Ghost im also short the pound now again at 9142 with a stop above the 9200 RN, and psychological resistance... AGAIN if this doesnt shift im dead meat... my stop will get taken out. Im aware of that, but id rather fade the crowd and be wrong then follow the herd to the slaughter...

I'm sooooo nervous to long the $ rite now. The rumor said the Fed might start to lower interest rate next year. The target will be 4%. And if this were true, 2004 dollar's weakness would come back. The Euro would hit the highest of 1.36. The cable would hit the highest of 1.95 area. So, I think we all have to be careful on this one.

Anyway, this is solely my opinion.
For the short term, the $ is not going above the 1.2980 high. I'm selling EUR/USD.
For the long term, I agree that it will approach 1.3600.

It always does!!!

Question: If I'm long EUR/USD for a long-term trade, I lose out big because of the swap rates. How do you guys get around that?

something traders on here should understand i quote below:

"Given that many <st1lace w:st="on"><st1:country-region w:st="on">US</st1:country-region></st1lace> and Japanese traders have left early for the holidays, which is quite common this time of the year, the lack of significant liquidity is sure to have played a major role in today’s exaggerated price action."

I have been wondering this question too. Any long term traders can tell us or is the approx 1 pip per day rollover cost not important.?

It's only 1 pip per day. Do you make less than 10 pips holding a position for e.g 10 days?
