Wow! I took my scalp profits then went and had my early Thanksgiving dinner and round of Golf. Then I come to find this sucker way down there. I think I'll stay out until tomorrow.

Shucks - just seen the screen. Hope you survived that downdraft I could be waiting a little longer than I anticipated. Bloomberg just said that the BoJ might not intervene until 80.00 now (if they do). Oh, well, I earn bugger all interest in my UK bank accounts so may as well lend it to the market for a while and earn some interest. Get that money working - ha, ha.

Hope everyone is surviving. Thanksgiving week is living up to its name that's for sure.
Well, I S/L'ed out from 79. My long looks a little bit more stable from 77.50, at least it's moving in the right direction, as of now, and has that support bounce.

I dont know if the stocks will start falling down on Mon, this time will catch them off gourd, everybody is happy here and the house price starts to go up again, but unemployment is extensive. I'm really very curious if the whole bearish market is going to start all over agian, this time there is no money left to help the corrupted banks out.
It would be amazing if the stocks held up. I can't see it though. Asia is blood red. The Dubai debt debacle is the perfect excuse to take profit off the table. The PPT might be extra busy very soon though My MT4 demo has a low of only 0.9025 - market moved too fast for it. It's confused.

Ben - into that good old fashioned weed stuff aye? Never liked it myself. Always put me to sleep. Last time I visited NZ everyone seemed to be on P Leona has a new song out. Check out "Happy" on YouTube. I won't post it because some people get upset when you post too many YouTube videos. It's a bit of a girlie song though but she looks fab.

Hi Patience,

I am going to branch out of the E/U & start trading the AUD, so I will be bothering this thread a little bit. Hey everybody and Happy Thanksgiving from the US of A! I am doing a 4-day juice fast this Thanksgiving - should be starting to hallucinate about the time markets open up again next week. Could be interesting. I am expecting more USD strength nearterm - but what do I know - I had expected it this week, too. Happy Trades all!

The AUD/USD is unlikely to see much upside until the situation in Dubai settles or becomes clearer. Uncertainty is a major drag on investor confidence and the news out of Dubai has created plenty of uncertainty. Credit Default Swaps for emerging market countries have blown out and European bank shares have tumbled as the implications of the Dubai crisis have become clearer.

Hey Fool!

Be great to see you around. You won't regret branching out imo. I trade the AUD + AUD crosses (lately) way more than EUR and this thread has a happy bunch of posters. Very different to the EUR thread (if you know what I mean) Let's just hope you don't hallucinate the EUR at parity

This Dubai problem is just the excuse investors need to start bailing.Could be the end of the road for the equity rally.....plenty of drops in the Asia region be interesting to see the European take on things when they open and I think the NYSE is open Friday but for a shortened session.

Everything seems like a moving target on fx atm...

Welcome from FL, I just read the news you posted, I've been to Dubai a couple of times, I've been always wondering what the H** they wanna do with all those buildings going , now it seems they are going to start another domino in fanacial crisis , just in time, new year coming and the US goverment money well spent in speculative trades, that's what Robert Precher of EWI kept saying during the whole year (that we are in corrective wave 2 of the bearish market)

Hi there, shah!

I see squirrely news has not put a dent in XAU. I will be boning up on my gold trade basics as I'm sure the (co)relation to the AUD trade is strong. Is gold now the new "safe haven" instrument? I guess I would be surprised if that can last, but who knows? Anyway, I go drooly thinking about shorting XAU...

That's good. Wonder if any stops were slipped. I have been slipped once or twice (when I have used them) when market moves that fast.

I see there is a lot of jawboning about the yen on the news headlines on DailyFX by various Japanese ministers etc. Declining to confirm intervention. Sometimes I just quickly check this to see what's happening when I can't be bothered pulling up my other news services http://forexstream.dailyfx.com/ I see it's hit 200 SMA on daily chart. Think I'll wait till it settles a bit. I had been expecting US$ strength this week because of bulllish engulfing candle on weekly USDX chart so the rally threw me earlier this week. Looks like it is starting to play out now.

LOL - yep a few sleepless nights are in order. I remember reading a story some years ago that one of the blokes - Head of BoJ or something - used to have this beeper/alarm thingy on him 24/7 so when the Yen reached a certain level it would beep him out of his sleep.

And just for Puks - sentiment index. Retail traders looking the wrong way it seems. Buy, buy, buy the US$ Let me know what currencies you want in future Puks because I don't want to clog up the thread with the whole lot of them.

AUDUSD - The ratio of long to short positions in the AUDUSD stands at 1.32 as nearly 57% of traders are long. Yesterday, the ratio was at -1.42 as 59% of open positions were short. In detail, long positions are 37.4% higher than yesterday and 2.2% stronger since last week. Short positions are 26.7% lower than yesterday and 12.3% weaker since last week. Open interest is 0.3% weaker than yesterday and 0.7% above its monthly average. The SSI is a contrarian indicator and signals more AUDUSD losses.

NZDUSD - The ratio of long to short positions in the NZDUSD stands at 1.94 as nearly 66% of traders are long. Yesterday, the ratio was at 1.41 as 59% of open positions were long. In detail, long positions are 7.8% lower than yesterday and 10.2% weaker since last week. Short positions are 33.0% lower than yesterday and 29.3% weaker since last week. Open interest is 18.3% weaker than yesterday and 23.7% below its monthly average. The SSI is a contrarian indicator and signals more NZDUSD losses.
