Stronger dollar across the board. This is only as it pertains to the global economy. If banks start to show weakness again, people will flock to a safe haven for their money, and that's cash, USD cash, which will increase the price of the USD much as it has since this all began.

I am not talking about a bad news release, I am talking about negative comments from Geitner or Bernanke, or some other shit to occur (i.e. Swine flu).
Gotcha - thanks, at the moment i am only thinking in terms of GU - i guess i need to see the bigger picture as well

Even though they talk down of H1N1 aka swine flue it is kinda incipient and hog market already affected not to mention human health risk it impose .
This news also will strengthen the USD

Exponential dollar weakness happened during NY session when other trading communities were gone for the week, so lets hope those rational traders come back and short the puppy........
Hi Banda, isnt that really old news?

The trick is to get you spending - as you know USD weakness is one of the leading indicators of growth - but also the easiest to manipulate by those who want to - and you know who wants to manipulate the markets right now - everyone who is in charge - govt and banks - is it going to make you and I spend more - I'm not sure - the new consumer is a little more savvy and its better to be honest then create artificial sense of optimism in my personal opinion.

I have some inside news from one of the leading news channels (a close family member is a senior executive) that there has been pressure on keeping the news positive last week - lots of debates taking place on what role media should play right now this week and next as being biased with news would be unfair reporting - lets see who wins - I would say Republicans should/could seize this oportunity if they had enough facts.

They trade with our money and also make money on spreads. Hence every broker posts anaysis and trade reccommendation on many pairs to get you trading, so they can get spreads.

If you hit your S/L then they make all the money - all the money including what you lose goes into their pockets because your transaction never hit the market.

Looks like she just filled a small gap on my MT4 (00:00 GMT closing time), could see some down.

I'll try to keep up on the GBP analysis this week but I am currently in a USD/CAD trade. So I may/may not take trades on other pairs. But this one was too hard for me to ignore.

Then they would also make money when you hit your take profit then...

They only way they make directly off you is if they take the other side of your trade and you end up losing either because of a stoploss or manual closure of the trade.

If I am long 100k and I get stopped out, my stop sells back my positions to another buyer at that price, and I take a loss while the new buyer is in a fresh position.

Or so I believe.

I had read similar stuff before. I don't feel my broker (FXCM) is a scam. Whether or not that take the other side of my trades I do not care.

I have however seen price near my stop, stall, and flash quickly to take it out before retreating. I knew from the start that it was them messing around, but I guess all brokers can do this and as long as the price tick shows on their charts and they have record of it, we can't do anything about it.

I suggest, as I will eventually, trading with a legit bank (like Deutcshe Bank @ dbfx.com).

I also recommend read reviews at http://www.forexrealm.com/brokers-reviews/ - i have made set of friends and we make spot checks on prices if we get stopped out or limit isnt hit - I can only say this has resulted in good results - maybe more people should do checks to be sure.
