Will or has Eurozone jumped on the quantitative easing bandwagon?

I don't see it happening, at least not to the extreme of other nations.

Will Eurozone GDP be larger than US GDP in 2009, almost absolutely!

Does the fact that German retail number are positive, although completely ignored, mean anything?

German and Aussie trade balances came in worse than expected, although at least they are positive numbers compared to US growing trade deficits, and the lower balances are a result of lower commodity prices. Top line revenues are suffering because of strong US dollar and resulting cheap commodities. We can't keep giving away resources for cheap beacuse the US Dollar denominated resources are subject to the whims of US economic failure....the world won't stand for it. How many more ways can US screw up the world economy?

Yeah that's if you want to convert some dough at the airport over the weekend. It's not liquid trading. Weekend quotes are always out of bounds.

All the whiners, could just as easily start their own thread about all their genius analysis. Let's get real, this is forex and NOBODY knows for sure what is going ot happen next, so all the analysis is just smoke blowing up the posterior. talking about trades, whatever...it's all in good fun.

Turhovach, the plight for self accolades in the trading arena is most always rooted in hind-sight... The chances of individuals on this thread making calls before it happens is around 20%. Likewise, to make a call and self promote ones "positive trade", encompasses the other 80%. The admin's should simply open a thread entitled. "Self promoting trade calls made 30 minutes ago".... That thread alone would out number all post combined on this forum....

Bemac... You may have misinterpreted my post.. Those who make a call in "real time" only represent about 20% in this thread. You are among that small elite percentage that makes this thread worth reading. You along with the likes of ak4x, acumen, and a few others are the reason I frequent this thread. My sincere apologies for my lack of explanational abilities..

And what would you say to those that are still working on the confidence to post their predictions?

I would say something like...
Go for it. There is nothing that will teach you more than making your mistakes public.

No! You have every reason to be correct {& I see where you are coming from} but I meant what I said...
Damn, this time I couldn't agree with your opinion, but I should.

I couldn't see any reason for this bear movement and when it happened was too late.

I really wish the Admin's would implement a rule for this (and all the other forums for that matter) that would require someone to post an entry at the time it is made before they are allowed to post an exit (or current position) such as this "oh, by the way I'm currently short/long with a 250 pip profit." ROFL - Sure you are. Tell me where is there is any VALUE in a post like that? What is it you are trying to prove? Huffing out and beating your chest for all the world to see? Really, tell me what the hell is the point of such a post.

Are you...
Bitter are we? Just so you know I do not post all my profits only a small portion. Last week was extremely profitable for me, but I only posted the position that I intend to hold over the weekend. I do not see anything wrong with posting how much profit someone has running, because it does not influence my trading at all. Since you want to know my entry was 1.3682...and I am realizing now that one of my brokers posted a price of 1.3427 as a 4pm close while other posted 1.3476 as 5 pm close, either way I could careless. I am a market timer, I do not give a sh*t if I am right or wrong on any subject of trading, since I can make/lose money being either right or wrong.

Bemac..... If this thread resorts to everyone making calls simply to exercise ones need to learn from their mistakes, then throw me in the mix. God knows I've made plenty of bad trades, just not publicly... But in defense of Turhovach, the random bragging of pips made or pips in the green, out-weigh the post giving intuitive trading insight.... Just like this post I am writing now. It provides little if nothing of value to trading...

I am holding five positions:
From 1.3722
1.3609
1.3567
1.3521
1.3475

My stop now is at 1.3472.

But regarding the weekend gap, for me it is just a 50% business. If you are very near, I suggest to close.
That stop was hit on friday with 1.3477, is that right?

all of those that seem to say what this thread should be about read the original post of the thread, by the thread starter. It clearly shows what the thread started as and what the thread was about.

Hi Turhovach,

I do understand the point you are trying to make. At the same time I hope you were not trying to target iii a couple of posts above you. As you will discover right away this is my first post, but I have been following this thread for some time now and know that iii is someone with great skills.

For people like me who are quite new at FX this thread and all information posted here (not all can be trusted, of course but you get to know which signatures are trustworthy with time) is very valuable. It can seem very arrogant to state...
Thank you for backing me up. I am glad to give advice on the subject of trading, but due to the fact that I do not use indicators many here think I am full of it. My philosophy is to acquire an entry that provides minimum risk, I do not care about the profit at the time of entry, as long as I think that the market will move one way or another. I hate to tie up working capital in consolidating markets. My opinion regarding fundamental information varies as I do not think that the "by the book" explaination of fundamental factors has a valid forecasting value. Those here trading based on fundamental reasons could benefit greatly by analyzing the opinion of the masses, while at the same time realizing that the majority is incorrect most of the time. I read alot of statements from banks, average investors/traders, as well as cnbc (great fading tool if you can find a decent entry). Realizing what positions/biases these groups have I play out the possible scenarios that could happen in the next trading day (basically I debate how professional traders could turn this information into maximum profit) of course this leads me to a general opinion regarding the market. To find a proper entry I use charts and my own set of tools which I found to work well over the last few years.
I hope this information could help someone spark an interest in thinking outside the box and developing their own system based on their personality. I do not intend to explain my system thoroughly on this thread or anywhere else as it would take far too much space. Furthermore most people here would find it useless as this system is very subjective (it is designed for my personality and works well for me).
