Ideally, I'll be out of both shorts before ECB President Trichet speaks in 20 minutes.

Quoting 30XTCi
Roughly translated this means "I broke my shovel digging this hole I'm in, now I just have to wait for someone to come and rescue me"
Agree totally - it'll be fun to see if I can get it back. But we will see, IMO, a 1.35 EURUSD in the second half of this year. I am very bullish - that's why my open loss is of no concern. I am long on another account substantially. The account here is play money.

Quoting 30XTCi
How many more of those 'Get out of Jail free' cards have you got? I see you played another one last night. (Morning in Aussie).
Only 6!

Quoting 30XTCi
Well the forex Gods you called on came good. To a degree. As you say the next 48 hours will 'make or break' your account.
Agreed - and Trichet just said he didn't use the words "Strong Vigilance" deliberately - cost me another 30 pips. What a prick! Can I write that Mr Jones?

Quoting 30XTCi
I've just finished an upgrade on my Crystal Ball, this is a 2010 prototype with plug in keyboard and Holographic display, if you like I can 'google' ' Why Oh Why, in trouble, EURUSD, what's next?'
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Quoting 30XTCi
Your thread is the best value for money around, and I would like to see it continue, a little humour goes a long way, I'm root'n for yah!

What a joke. Waffle - rightly - has now put it back down to 2923.

Free margin $151 and open loss $429. Any more laid back and he'd fall over! Another 46 pip drop will put me out of the ame again. Everyone buy NOW - amazing value. That's what I look for in a gamble. Value is king.
