Spot FX Day Trader's Thread

I'm selling EU at 1.356 s/l -50

EJ and GJ... killed me this week. Kept trying to short into strength after a big run up but they had little retrace. Missed another 50 pips this am with U/Swiss got scared out and thought it was going to retrace some its lose from yesterday!!! But at least my swiss futures contract is up very nice today!!! Hopefully it will hit my fill in the next few weeks. My AUD/CAD short is slowly creeping along nicely. CHF and CAD are the strongest movers right know. We'll see what next week brings. Still looking to get back into E/CHF for a long term short (0590 area). NFP might offer that opportunity next week...

I'm short EJ 127.2 s/l -40

WHOA.. there's the SNB!

I'm in short at 1.44 .. these interventions always reverse hard

Frickin, SNB....

Banking 83 pips!!!!! THANK YOU GOD!

unfortunately, the EUR buying has me a bit underwater on my other two trades

shorting E/swiss after its 250 point up swing.... 4350...

If the US equity market is on vacation and NFP is released on the same day, I can hardly imagine how silly the currency markets will be tomorrow.

buying USD/CAD 1.007 stop below parity

Hmmm... that NFP was a little tamer than I would have expected..

I'm not too crazy about a Euro position right now, but I'll grab UC on a wee bit more of a dip .. I made a decent profit on my UC trade last week

UJ is overbought on the slow and fast stochastic lines on the dailies.. it could still reach 100 pips or so higher but it really needs to come down for a correction.. I'm keeping my eye on UJ too.

Yeah I do see the UJ coming down I have 3 short orders on it and I do not see it coming higher than at most 100 pips we will see what happens, extremely overbought.

I'll get short at 96 unless I see signs of capitulation before that..

Looking at the UJ historical charts I see that when both lines are above 80 there is a 100% chance of a deep correction.. It's just hard to tell exactly when to get in.. I'd rather place an order and hope it gets filled rather than risk being painfully underwater.

I'm in Houston and went to UT btw

Yeah thats what I was looking at too, rather be in than out lol.

Nice I am at TCU in Fort Worth.

I'm old and my spirit has been broken too many times by being in rather than out.. I'm out until I see something juicy.. I've been doing this too long to spit into the wind.. We've got a major breakout and an uptrend to deal with.. When the time is right . KACHING.. otherwise, I'll wait for another fly to land in my web. In a 24 hour per day, 5 day per week market there are plenty of flies to catch.

Trying a quick EJ long here at 127.45 ... tiny stop -15 pips.. worth a shot for a scalp

Developments in Euro make me want to hold this 20 pip winner.. stop to b/e ..
