this is so bull euro

ECB worried about growth but no rate cut-MNSI sources
FRANKFURT Aug 29 (Reuters) - European Central Bank policymakers are increasingly worried about the rapidly cooling euro zone economy but inflation dangers are too high to justify cutting rates, news agency Market News International reported on Friday, citing unnamed sources.

MNSI quoted a senior Eurosystem source as saying that it was unlikely there would be any change to rates this year, in line with public comments by policymakers including Malta's Michael Bonello.

'I do not see any further rate hike or a possible cut by the end of 2008,' the source was quoted as saying.
It's too late.

A cut now isn't going to help.

They missed the boat.

Thanks ECB.

Why don't you send a PM to Warren (not the rich one) to ask him?
That's not a bad idea.

Have you got any statistics on this?
This is one of those 'known' facts.

It's true.

You do not need to be in the market all the time and you do not need to make pips every day .. as long as at the end of the year you make profit is what counts.
I second that, I have some money saved during the years, the bank gives me a joke of 4 to 6 % annual, if I can triple that isn’t bad at all. I do much more, an average of 10-12 % monthly that is a nice third income for me.

Like I always say: Who wants to win the war needs to win several battles and know when to fight.

Add: I'm not the best excample on that rule but try to get better every day

114 ... mmmm now you tell me . I had target 114.75 and closed at 115.30 as i thought I would be pushing my luck on Friday before the long weekend.

Now flat on oil futures going into the weekend.
LOL, sorry I didn't PM you with that one, being that we've never spoken before.

Anyway, you got out at a great point, as I don't really know that oil will go down anymore today.

Euro is interesting right now, but by end of the year it should be at least to 1.4000. We'll see.

Central bank rates next week..........Euro and other currencies selling off vs the USD today.

A tepid price of $115.50 - $8/$7.95 NG into the pit close at 2:30 with the threat of a category 3/4 hurricane aiming for a direct hit at Gulf OIL/NG infrastructure..........raises doubt over direction of OIL price, hurricanes or not.

If Gustav fails to deliver and speculation over possible rate cuts from other central banks follows next week then $111.50 for OIL looks realistic and maybe a push lower.

I shorted a bit more oil ( that was the spike from 116 to 114.95 as i placed my order)....

Haha, I just thought of your post after I'd written mine re oil. Did you pull your limit exit or are you out at 115.30?

  • Aug 29, 2008 1:35pm Aug 29, 2008 1:35pm
why guess ...

take US market open ( I take pit open 9am est now) and 30 min later

plot high and low of range

trade the breakout

= NO GUESSING

If you did this today = 118 short entry.

same on YM ( but use 30 min of us markets) = 90 points
same on eurusd ( I use 30 min of us market open) = 60 pips

It is called trading the open range ... go to www.marketgauge.com and download the free ebook ' trading the 10 o'clock bull ' for more info

I really have problems with that. Your point of view is interesting and is what I expected as your answer. But if I draw it my way we are at this point at 32.8 Fib and could await a retrace to the 1.50 area. I really don't know, I will research a bit during the weekend.
Thanks for your opinion.
Have a nice weekend

Add: the market was in that range (half year) in an indecision and then started do buy EUR, I see it as a new trend from there on, that's why I draw it that way, I might be wrong.
I'm looking at this moment to my weekly chart and if we say that I'm right drawing it my way and we are sitting on 32.8, the weekly Tweezer bottom candle gives me more reason to think that the big boys draw it that way also.
The other thing is that all the week after London and NY session we got back to that 1.4700 level.
Who knows

I guess you missed the party my friend, there will be some profit taking and may be we gonna have that 1.4700 level again.
Let's see how good your trigger finger will be next week.
Good luck and a nice weekend.

To those who want to live this week one more time I will attach a MT4 simulator that works offline and you can see what you did well or wrong on a MT4 platform. I don't take credit on that simulater, I got it here in FF some time ago.

Because it did that all the week, but I will never ever give a call out here, I don’t want to be the guilty of your losses, what is good for me may be wrong for you, and everybody has a different stile and risk appetite.

Again nice weekend
Over and off for some beer.
