Spot FX Day Trader's Thread

What the hell happened?!?

US raised rates to .75%

Been concentrating on this winter tournament thing, see some brit bird in 1st skeletal race! Time away and everything has tanked except interestingly the ej seems to be holding up. I'm standing clear tonight after a bottle of bordeaux, never helped my trading in the past!

yep.. I'm not touching anything. This whole day has been a joke.

Yeah, I noticed the fed stuff. Crazy day, at least it's moving. Maybe i'll just buy cable and euros big and mop it up tomorrow

Watch skeleton Pippy, UK is going to get the gold in it. For some reason I can't figure out, the UK is always strong in the Ice events even though we probably have about one bobsleigh track in the whole country.

Oh I forgot to mention the gayness of bobsled.. 4 guys crammed into a penis shaped missile screaming down a narrow path at high speed.

Being the #2 or #3 guy on the team is probably the only sport I could play in the Olympics.. I guess the object is to be fat but not so fat that you can't fit in the sled. Essentially the 2nd and 3rd guys do nothing.. I'm good at that.

nope.. I'm not touching this price action either..

You would think that a rate hike would be worth much more than it has been so far

I'm hearing that a hedge fund is taking advantage of the market when people are paying attention to the Tiger Woods press conference.. UGH!

I had a hell of a day. I'm not trading fridays again. After CPI I bought cable, but it wasn't good so I closed it for about 30 pts loss. Then I saw it moving back so I bought euro and cable. Took some profit on those. Then figured it would be worth another shot so went long euro and cable again. Cable was doing ok, but euro was losing and I was -27pts at one point. I really wasn't in the mood for friday afternoon to be getting in trouble. So it came back, I got out of cable for profit, euro for loss and overall in profit.

Down a bit on the day. It could have been a big profitable day, but it'll have to wait till next week. This could have been a huge week for me, but for one reason or another it wasn't. Next week i'll try do better. Watch skeleton - UK going to get the gold.

I'm shorting Euros right here at 1.36 with a 20 pip stop

I don't know how you get involved this late in the week. I'm well and truly done, 4 day weeks from now on I think. I'll spend friday doing shopping/poker/ enjoying life/volunteering/taking advantage of bookmakers/being a bum or just burning money and chanting in tongues if I run out of things to do.

I've been there .. On Fridays I'm usually somewhere in between downtown rampage and the full on freak out one endures when flying a plane into the local tax office.

I wonder why that guy didn't just sell his plane to pay his taxes? Hmmm...

Anyway, yes this trade seems to be 10 pips underwater.

Whenever I find out what skeleton is I will watch it enthusiastically.

It's like luge, but you lie on your stomach and go down head first. It's going to be on in about 40 mins or so.

Your flag has blue in it right? and some sort of of criss cross configuration.. I haven't seen in so long that it's escaping my memory.

Blue, red and white. Sound familiar?

Gold for team GB! Told you we'd get a medal in it.

It will be stripped due to steroids.. I'm a near expert on skeleton and that performance was extremely suspicious. I'm very annoyed that my onslaught of coordination and athleticism based insults towards the citizens of your island will be lessened, not stopped completely but lessened..

Let's just wait for the blood work.

I see the yanks have protested over the shape of her helmet, sour grapes me thinks. She's reasonably fit as well, wouldn't kick her out of bed for eating crisps!

apparently that's the first individual gold medal for the UK since 1980..

When reached for comment the Minister for General Apathy had the following to say:

"We don't really care about the Winter Olympics"

You want to know who's fine is Julia Mancuso.. I like those strong legs and butt..
