Quoting The Fool
China has a huge, industrious, thrifty population but its not a free country. You don't hear about the frequent civil unrest in China because the government has the press on lock-down. Who knows what can & will happen? But sooner or later there are some chickens that could come home to roost there and that might not be very pretty.

And India, well, really....?
You touched in a point here Fool that a lot of people desregard or just paly dumb about it.

If China was a democratic country where people worked without a constant fear of a bullet in their nec, I would respect their economy.

The problem is that they are like a dark pool full of explosive gases. Nobody knows what is really inside and it can blow up at any minute.

As soon as people have anough over there and democracy comes it will become a country like any other with small ethinic groups fighting amoung themselves, just like the old CCCP, or Irak, or Yoguslavia.

how long have u been trading fx?
-this summer fx'
-but i trade us markets futures, nasdaq and s&p futures for several years, those are most difficult game in town - so this is just adding another instrument but using same method
- a good method should work not just one on instrument
- i used to only hedge with eur

-overall i do not like forex though and have no intention of trading any other pairs and would never recommend anyone trade it!

olemiss, example, increased leverage is increased risk and this is very bad combo for new traders. 500:1, 400:1, there is even 700:1! -not a good way to learn

I donno why you are asking this. But I'm watching forex not that long. At first I threw almost every indi on it because a combination of them should have a golden egg. Then I found this forum, watching it from time to time until I subscribed. And maybe I do put bullshit on it (in your eyes), but the reactions on my post let me think and learn.
Now my charts are pretty clean, with some trendlines, pivots and a renko chart that I can't leave (and I don't know why).
For me it looks like I'm peeling an onion, and maybe I will go through all layers until I can trade with more confidence. OR I will leave this all behind because it destroys my live (not money wise) and I find other things to focus on that are more important. Most won't believe it but the fun part of it is "discovering".

Cheers,
Vincent

Wrong! Leverage doesn't change a dime on profit/pip.
EDIT: With this I want to say that a 700:1 account doesn't blow your account faster as if you put your trades on a 100:1 account

The info re: exports found in the above links may be a little out of date, but it shows that US exports are on a par with the EZ's, while GDP per capita in the US is 50% higher than that of the EZ.

In a state like Washington (where I live) or Mississippi (where I grew up), agriculture is a huge part of the economy, with much of the production destined for export.

You can make what you want of the current...
still hush hush. but some of the reason they think china is adding more stimulus is civil unrest. unemployment was going up and foreclosers were up also. more and more move to citys each day and work was getting hard to come by. this just feeds a bubble. the chickens are almost shitting on the porch.

I'm not here for drama-really I'm not. In fact, I'm perfectly capable of disregarding posts which I think to be misguiding as to specific trade advice or even general ideas about trading. Yes, there is plenty of it here-there are plenty of new traders who want to be something more than spectators and who want to feel like they too have something valuable to contribute. So they throw out ideas after a certain amount of observation and learning. Usually not very good ones-for shame, for shame.

Grown ups understand that the nature of this is a wanting to participate and improve within this tough craft of FX trading. Little kids, or perhaps bratty high school seniors who feel that they have something to protect, react with disparaging sentiment, while at the same time offering nothing valuable to those they disparage. Only to those within their protected circle. Fine, ok, do that. But why walk over to the freshman table to do it? Whats the point? Why not just leave the new players alone? If a few of the other seniors who are actually grown up want to help the newer traders why not leave it alone? How complicated is it? They're good people who don't mind helping new traders-thats why they're here.

This comes after not just one objectionable post, but repeated ones, by a few different traders. I'm sick of it. Either share something positive and helpful or just stay out. Thats how I see it.

Thursday, the Euro took a break from crushing the dollar. According to SSI, retail traders are short the Euro by a ratio of 2.58 traders to 1.

SSI is a contrarian indicator and implies that the Euro uptrend will continue. The EUR/USD is above its 200 SMA and continues to make higher highs and higher lows. Look to get long in the 1.4669 area or at a 2 pip break above the 1.4759 area to target the 1.4826- 1.4900 area.

Unless your real name is Gregory McLeod and you work for FXCM, you're once again plagiarizing the Copyrighted Work of someone else including the chart!!, presenting it as your own and posting it on FF with absolutely NO credits or links to the original sources, and this is far from your first time.

That's truly pathetic... Apart from +1700 smilies, nonsense grunts and wisecracks, do you even HAVE any original stuff?

Googling the text of your post finds these links...all by Greg McLeod of FXCM/DailyFX in addition of course to "yours" at FF, apparently by you.

As a rule I stay away from this thread and the others like 'em simply because they add nothing to my knowledge and search for improvement.

A whole bunch of folk trying to outshout each other in a bid to be the first one to actually call the right number should the reversal come. Hardly any chart analyses (if there are they are buried so deep as to need oxygen to survive).

None of this aids the newcomers to make their own judgement calls. Vouches are worth jackshit to my mind but could lead the unknowing to assume the poster has a level of skill and experience beyond the reality. And that includes me!

For what it's worth, I am where I am today by dint of hard work, long hours of chart studying, one blown live account and even more study and research. When I place a trade I know why I've done it. I don't need the reassurance of those that know even less than me. If I'm wrong and I lose it's because I made a mistake and I go back to the chart to try and understand where I went wrong.

There's no educational value in this thread as it stands now and I doubt if any of the senior 'proper' traders can be bothered to fight upstream to try and help.

Those that want to survive in FX will, hopefully, find their way to other sources of education and achieve the one thing we all want from this:
