some traders like to look at commercial but I don't because commercials are usually in the wrong side and mirror the non-commercial large traders.

G/U
short trade played as i expected, very clean +100 pips, without a negative drawdown,
That worked out nicely yes. Was ready to jump on that one as well, but had too many other trades open.
COngrats on those nice pips!
AUD-short still running. and nice to see this trade in the green waking up now..Looks better now
Had another trade open last night..Long EUR/JPY
Missed my TP by 0.1 pip!! before it turned down again. closed it manually now.
(+50 instead of 110pips)
I hate it when this happens.. but again I should be allright getting out in profit again..
Still holding your EUR/GBP long?

, I still have E/G long open but its not a confident trade, I moved SL to .8960 ,last night E/G was all red and made me not taking more short G/U ,I took only 4 shorts on G/U while I was ready to increase up to 10 positions, E/G got me. no complain though as G/U made some nice pips and I closed some E/G at 30 pips this morning , but still have 2 E/G long open.

EURUSD [font=Arial]- The ratio of long to short positions...
according to the SSI, the E/U short seems good to go, I still cant understand the SSI reading on U/Chf (it shows bearish move),my be all the retailers hope for SNB to intervene and make them rich in one second!!
I think U/Chf will go up even without the intervention
here is what I just read
"However currencies have come back under pressure into the North American open. The Greek bailout topic remains at the forefront of investor minds and many are now speculating as to whether or not Germany will in fact move to rescue Greece. Risk appetite had been weighed down early Monday on the back of some hard criticism from Greece’s deputy PM that Germany’s Merkel was allowing the local banks to make bets against Greece with the hopes for a weaker Euro. However, reassurances from ECB President Trichet that Greece would not be leaving the EMU, some upbeat comments from China’s Wen on US-China relations, and the passage of the Obama healthcare plan were all seen reinfusing investor appetite and helping to bolster the bid in currencies. The Euro has been showing some relative weakness in Tuesday trade thus far with many attributing the selling to the news that decisions on financial aid for Greece will not be on the agenda at the upcoming EU Summit.Demand for Gbp/Jpy in the 134.00 area. Japanese margin accounts bidding Aud/Jpy. Model funds on the offer in Eur/Usd and Eur/Jpy; Middle Eastern and Russian bids in Eur/Usd. Vanilla expiries at 0.9150 in Aus/Usd. Central bank and real money selling of Gbp/Usd."
