Closed short on Euro 58 pips, based on the news it should come back up a bit. Wait for the next one then

Hello my friend! Good analysis. I think this zone is from 8850 to 8900. Gonna wait and see what breaks.
Good to see you mate.

Way too many positions in my order book, hot and exposed on all fronts or worse hedged and not going anywhere fast this week.

I am going flat as soon as humanly possible. Sick of this weeks PA.

I would think that a bailout would allready be baked into the markets. I would expect a pop on an official announcment, But not likely to stick.
Anyone wishing to sell wallstreet warriors season 3 please pm me

Sorry Patience..
No probs. I think I've repeated what you have said a couple of times in the past - you fundamentalist

Not sure how this is going to play out anyway. Market seems confused. I guess it's just because the market is so heavily short EUR. If they bail out Greece, what about Ireland, Spain and Portugal etc? Then the US might get grief. If the EU bail out their members, what about California and all those other states (some even considering bankruptcy). What a mess!

banks are positioned short EUR/USD against 3850, so i am not sure it will affect markets much - but it's high-stakes game now

8923, 8940 and 8950, if we close above 8950 on the daily then the uptrend will continue for a few weeks.

You'd have to have some balls to go long at these levels wouldn't you? Unfortunately I don't. It's busted it's daily ATR and nearly done it's average weekly ATR of 300 pips (I've calculated 292 pips). I've just been scalping short for a few here and there.

I was short short on AUD from 8898, SL 8920. I added more just before at 8885 but wanted to raise my SL but couldnt see any lines, too tired to calculate my own.......

Yeah, you never know. All the brokers could get together to squeeze their customers if FXCM's customers are any indication of the retail market but I don't see more upside for today than what it's already done (maybe I should add barring the reaction to Greece news - gawd knows)

AUDUSD - The ratio of long to short positions in the AUDUSD stands at -1.62 as nearly 62% of traders are short. Yesterday, the ratio was at -1.09 as 52% of open positions were short. In detail, long positions are 19.3% lower than yesterday and 35.7% weaker since last week. Short positions are 19.9% higher than yesterday and 91.1% stronger since last week. Open interest is 1.1% stronger than yesterday and 7.7% above its monthly average. The SSI is a contrarian indicator and signals more AUDUSD gains.

it's a very difficult thing for me to understand. take for example the trend from .65 to .93 , you'd surely want to be long, to to find a good entree, you'd want to make sure many people were short. i guess i wonder in hindsight, did that happen often

my broker is up to their old trick again not passing pips to clients. Apart from a 3 point pip there is a difference of 7 pips between live figure and what they offer, I suppose being a market maker they can do it, frustrating though......

Traders were pretty much short the whole of the rally especially when it broke out in September last year. Well it was pretty much one way traffic for a while and AUD did double it's average yearly range last year. Over 3,100 pips so it is understandable why they kept shorting. Who would have thought AUD would rally that much and that interest rates would rise that fast and that economic data would keep surprising to the upside. Safe banking system, so safe in fact that government is removing the guarantee. When it was down in the 60's area there were posters on this thread saying it was going to 0.50. Then when the air cleared Australia turned out to be one of the least affected countries of the GFC.
