Breaking news:

BBC reports that Russian energy giant Gazprom firm has signed a deal for a joint venture with a Nigerian state-operated firm to build refineries, pipelines and gas power stations in Nigeria.

The new firm will be called NIGAZ.


We kid you not.

So now instead of blowing the pipeline up, the Nigaz wil just turn it off!
Its all in the mind.

i like to be right its a guy thing. but the articles suck cause i want to be wrong..them agreeing sucks..why did they not say if before millions of sheep got sucked in.. me being right is not a good thing..id rather be wrong..
The bloke that wrote the articles (John Browne) is part of Peter Schiff's gang at Euro Pacific Capital and if you know Peter Schiff you know that he was banging on about the housing bubble way before it happened. He got laughed off CNBC (I think) and many other programmes because he was so pessimistic about what was going to happen. One thing he didn't get quite right (from my knowledge) was the "flight to safety" to the US$. But he is a perma dollar bear from what I've read and seen. Got to run, it's duck feeding/park/fountain time.
Nothing worth having is easy.

Gator, If I wanted to use UC as a hedge against my EU position for a neutral balance, what ratio would you suggest? Example, 5 UC lots for every 1EU lot.

why the hell regulatory bodies doing all this?
Not know Ali but there must be something I feel they are removing the gambling part from forex.If stay ,stay as active ,no opposit orders at the same time ,first In first to OUT ( FIFO) first ,not to occupy future positions etc should actually to controll the lusts of the market makers & save interests of the small fishes like us.Market to change more decisively & much less random ones.

depends. if you know the bigger trend or not..if we are ranging 1-1 is fine.. if you have a proven trend it could be more..you are the only one that can answer this.. dont over leverage.. if your gonna do this as a hedge only strategy. consider using half normal position each side..if you dont grasp this please dont trade it..play it out in your head and papertrade it first..as time goes on you will get a comfortable ratio. this will only work if you pull profits out at times..

This is mostly being done so that the brokers as well as the trader can both be protected.

This is not surprising as all other markets at least in US are regulated likewise. Also, this is annoying but not a big deal. A trader will NOT be affected by this at all.

Also, as FYI next big thing to happen is the margin requirement and Leverage. They are talking about it now and again, I am least affected as I hardly if I ever use a leverage > 4. Most of the time I use a 2:1. This thing will least affect anyone, at best it will weed out the demo account holders wishing to make it big with a 100 dollar Nano. And that will not be bad at all

Also, if you factor in relative volatility and pip value, spread etc, a 1:1.5. Just MHO.

I see a positive divergenz, so I think that we will go up. The volatility is weak (there is summer) and I think we stay in range.

To all of those that are going long due to the upward slanting channel... My guess is it gives us a little bounce north but not enough to hit the top of the channel again and we soon fall and break thru the lower line of that channel.

My thinking exactly. We have certainly seen a lower low on the h1 and h4 chart. If we get a lower high next, the downtrend is confirmed. Of course everything can change at anytime and PA needs to confirm it. But thats the way I see it.

I guess I will try to get in short around 1.41 if PA shows good weakness...

Not understand Ali ,"No Hedge....No Stoploss, No Limit Orders.FIFO, at this rate it'll be no MARKET ORDERS" actually any such new US rules in action yet ?

Are we also going to see changes to margin requirements? I recall having read in this thread somewhere that a max of 1:100 will be allowed for larger accounts and a max of 1:25 for smaller accounts. Cannot locate that particular post.
