Spot FX Day Trader's Thread

I'm rather frustrated at not being long usd/cad earlier. Got back just after data, saw it was pretty bad and have been buying euro since. Not been going great and taken more losses than I should have. Currently long for now, i'll see what it gets up to. I could be getting out very quickly if the bottom breaks.

Well, I did as any good trader and bought some cable too. Then when they rallied up a bit I got out of both and took my profit rather than chancing it on a direction change. Back up on the day, but not by much Just picked up some ninja.

banking 59 on Euro

This is going down as a day to forget. I completely tilted, got in positions far too big on ninja and wiped out a fair chunk as a result. Couldn't stop myself trading at one point, i'm a bit calmer now, but still a bit frustrated. I hate to finish a week on a downer, but it looks like this one is going to be a losing week unless something miraculous occurs - although it doesn't feel like my day.

Think i'll call it quits for the week. I'm done, going to take some time to get that back I fear.

buy ninja 88.65 with a 20 pip stop..

I'm concerned about EJ.. I don't see any support anywhere on the map.

you might be able to repeat that eu trade pippy, it doesn't seem to like going lower than 13460ish

I was considering it but EJ could drag it down.. If you open up the weeklies on EJ you can see that it's a long ride down

yep, no significant levels really until lows of end 08 start 09

Why would minor news about Apple cause Euro to jump 110 pips? This is silly..

I bet 1.36 will hold in EU .. an entry at 1.359 would be good with a tight stop

that's quite a bullish candlestick Cable just posted.. could see a bit of a bounce in that pair. On a daily chart similar candlesticks resulted in nice gains in the following days.

Good call. I'm going to look to short euro around 136. Fighting the overall trend has proved risky last few days.

Not watching the hockey?
Go Canada

it isn't on NBC.. I looked elsewhere but couldn't find it.

It's lady hockey, not quite the same game

Ahem ... it's pretty good you know.
I am bummed for Mancuso today. Oh well.

I believe were in wave C of a correction in e/j i think it will test 121.5 before it continues its plunge to the 118 area. What do you guys think look at the (1hr chart)

She's not Canadian anyway, she's British, and I've heard rumors that the British aren't even at these Olympics.. I tried looking through the medal count, but got tired of reading before I found them.

It's really beginning to look like the Jerries can't catch us this year..

Men's hockey is Saturday and we'll crush the Canadians..

Que ?????????? Julia Mancuso is American and yet still cool

Looks like we have a market for the Saturday game!

I was talking about YOU sucka!

I'm probably going to start stalking Julia Mancuso
