EURUSD

No need to be offensive here!

First of all, I am well aware of different strategies different traders use and second I said already it is MY opinion. Of course others can have different views, but there are certainly enough people who share my view ( why would the COT report regarding the euro would have changed to more longs? )
And last but not least, I also know about MM....I might not be as experienced as you, but I am also quite successful in my trading, so I guess, I did something right so far.
I don´t understand why you came up with your "winner and looser"-stuff....
My comment was not about that...

Last but not least I think most people in here are rather short term traders ( scalpers or intraday )....so who cares currently where the Euro will be in a few months ?
Nobody knows it anyway - so we are all just "guessers" and some maybe right and some maybe wrong in the end....

thats what we are all doing.and i said the same thing.

[quote=gatorinla;3570492] in closing yada yada bull shit/bullshit... losing purchasing power for commodities makes you pay more to build the same export. but now your gonna have to pay the new higher tax bill to bail out greece ect. with a worse employment situation. u.s has not recovered, so u.s. will be little help for ez exports picking up to pre crises levels anytime soon. at the same time emerging markets such as chindiarean are gone for ez's coffin with china made nails. ... we aint out of this yet. but the u.s. is in better shape then most even though the u.s. situation sucks.. best in breed wins. even if the bitch is a mutt.. if this continues the only way to save the euro is for it to become cheaper. ez policy is set up to curve inflation.. curving inflation completely, will destroy the euro further. .

Alpari never opens before midnight CET

thanks for this.

Confusion still reins over a [GREEK BAILOUT PACKAGE] into this weeks crucial EU 25-26th summit; with Germany's Merkel at the forefront after she dampened expectations over the weekend by saying that Greece had not asked for money and no decision had been taken. Speaking over German radio, Merkel said the subject was not even on this weeks EU agenda; and followed a warning by her on Sunday, against raising "false expectations" in mkts of an EU bailout package. Merkel's comments appear to have placed her at odds with EC president Manuel Barroso, who urged EU member states on Friday to agree on a explicit stand-by aid arrangement for Greece as soon as possible that could consist of coordinated bilateral loans.

And the cracks continue unabated!

ATHENS, March 21 (Reuters) - Greece can go without borrowing until the end of April and has not yet decided when it will tap capital markets for funds to refinance maturing debt, the country's deputy finance minister said on Sunday.
Greece has already borrowed more than 15 billion euros ($20.28 billion) this year via T-bills, syndicated bond issues and a private placement out of an estimated total need of 53.2 billion euros for 2010. It is pressing its European partners for a concrete standby package to help bring its borrowing costs down. [ID:nLDE62K0C9]
Aiming for a 4.0 percentage point fiscal adjustment to shrink its budget gap to 8.7 percent of GDP this year, Greece has said it may have to turn to the IMF if a European solution is not found to help manage its debt mountain.
"We have the ability ... to follow our course until about the end of April without going to the markets," Deputy Finance Minister Philippos Sachinidis told Mega TV in an interview. "We have not taken any decision as to when we will go out to markets to borrow."
Greece needs to raise some 16 billion euros in debt by the end of May, the head of the country's PDMA debt agency said in an interview published on Friday.
Petros Christodoulou told the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung daily that 23 billion euros of Greek debt fell due in the period April 19 to May 23, but that the Greek government had a positive cash balance of around 7 billion euros at present. [ID:nLDE621229]
Sachinidis said Greece was not asking its euro zone partners for money but for the right message to markets so that its borrowing costs come down. The country, with a debt-to-GDP ratio seen reaching 120.4 percent this year, is paying almost twice as much as Germany to refinance maturing debt.
"What we want to see is a determination from the part of the euro zone to send the proper message to markets so that the next time Greece goes out to borrow in international markets it will face interest rates that price the Hellenic Republic in a better way," the minister said.
He said a standby support mechanism could be a pool of funds set aside by other euro zone countries which can borrow at much lower rates. Greece could turn to this pool if markets do not lower the rates at which they lend money to the country.
"What is lacking right now is not the mechanism to help Greece but the political will," the minister said.

Such is life when you blow your budget out of the water!!

And their price gap usually without exception gets filled. Looks like Friday close could be a nice place for adding shorts.
