Spot FX Day Trader's Thread

so far looking like a pretty quiet day, still looking to short either eu around 13680 or ej 12385ish

im ready for it to break 1.362 with some push, if it can do that im unloading euros. until then, its just choppy, as you alluded to

eu looks like a bed of nails on the weekly chart or a doji farm, no direction whatsoever

I got stopped at b/e on EU but I'm now back in 1.368 and I banked 29 on USD/CAD.. might have been a mistake but I'm sick of the trade and will look to get in lower.. now I just need EU to come down again.

the chances of this market breaking 1150 in this environment are slim, im shorting now. were a the make or break point in the s&p minis. if we break this high of 1141 we're heading to yesterdays highs. Other wise, you just caught the top for the day (in my worthless opinion)

Gold has detached from currencies and stocks..

I caught the top in EU yesterday and let it snap back on me due to greed. However, I am short 9 pips higher than I was yesterday so perhaps greed is good..

Perfect weather at 77 degrees here.

im closing with a few pips. i dont like this market at all. I'll wait it out until something opens up

I just bought USD/CAD 1.0262 for another try

G-L Pippy!
I think these markets are pants. The only thing that cheers me up is that we are likely gearing up for a big move.
I'm staying out of USDCAD for now, I want to see it get above 1.03 and hold there and then I'm in.

so frustrating..


Because of that irritating last minute run up in the S&P we are now at the YTD highs.. tomorrow we begin the trip down or a big run up.. I'm keeping my stops tight to avoid being on the wrong end.

I banked 29 pips on USD/CAD this morning and I'm now 29 pips underwater on the second trade.

Do you like any traditional Irish bands Count? I love Paddy Reilly and Wolfe Tones.

Can't resist, long usdcad 10240 s/l 10210 t/p 10290. Couldn't help getting in on the act although if going nowhere might exit ahead of Canadian data later today

You would like Great Big Sea Pippy, even though they are Canadian.

Actually a fan of the Pogues and the Dubliners, love their version of the irish rover on youtube, makes good listening as March 17th approaches

The Pogues are the greatest with a damn handsome bastard for a lead singer

I love Shane Mac's "Crock of Gold" album with "F Yez All", "Paddy Public Enemy #1" and the best of all "Skipping Rhymes"



Not too crazy about the Macgowanless Pogues.. a little watered-down..

Irish Rover with the Dubliners is a classic, fast-paced..

My Canadian relations have formed a traditional Irish music band called 'The Murphy family', cringeworthy I know! Some good bars in Belfast for traditional music and now that the trouble here is over it's having a real resurgence in popularity up in the north of Ireland

EliteJets,

I love Ashley MacIsaac from Canada Newfie I believe.

Count.. put that stop at 1.0193 and let it run.. 1.02 is HUGE .. you're in for big profits if it holds.. let it run

When I used to fly for Aer Lingus my mate had to off-load the shane man as he was totally plastered trying to board a flight to Heathrow, true to form!
