All turned out well right?
It didnt turn out right. Loss booked. you dont want to ask how much. This month's paycheck will be greatly affected. I was lucky i had some dollar shorts on Yen, it turned out to be a fairly good hedge.

Irony was, i was sitting on a 160 pip profit before it turned awry. lol!
guys would advice that i should have booked some, fact is i did...alot infact but i built again as market was tracing down...

the sellers killed me during the S&P announcement.

Hey, looks like the camel drank that euro blood lol. I didn't get in that trade since I was already in NZDUSD short and UY long. Hope you were able to bank some pips before camel got thirsty.

Dude you totally nailed it. Remind me not to make fun of your weenie, no turtle... no camel next time. lol!

I dont have a nerve of steel like you. There is a lot of "what if" in my minds right now like what if some other rating agency confirmed portugal and greece downgrade? What if someone downgrade Spain? And there are so many countries in EU and their economy are not in the best of shape either. Others may just pop up under the radar. Maybe Greece and Portugal just a tip of iceberg?
Well I expect to break above 1.3210 and then we'll see alot of people buying and selling at the same time. It should rally towards 1.33 and then we may see 45degrees till 1.35 or 36. <<<<< Just my opinion.

Do you think it will retrace more AK? I'm thinking it will drop further in the next 3 hours

Those tokyo boys should take a LONG lunch... down 300 pts and not recovering yet.

Personally, I keep waiting for someone (that doesn't already know better...) to Pontificate on or at the very least Mention the yen move here... but so far it's mostly just been a yoorow pecker measuring show all day between the newcomers... THAT gets old pdq...

There's been clues laying a'rd for awhile now.

I been long on Yen since last week. Had a nice profit and given back most of it. I loaded up some more about an hour ago in anticipation of wedge burst. Looks like it might be happening now!

someone should throw up a weekly chart on the EU and spot an long upper trendline from one of the lows. So it would be a best idea to sit this one out until a clear trend is formed.

food for thought.

no. just look at usd/chf. we all want e/u to go down, and it will, but we can't force it. give it months , not days. just my 2 cents.

I've been scalping that thing all day. +5 on current open trade, posted 1 for plus 20 earlier and another for plus 2. I went negative 50 pips last night while I was asleep but I've just about made that back on that pair today, my e/u trade is still sitting @ +160. closed one other one that I opened on the way down.

I'm pretty happy we took this little dive on u/j. I'm long now and just moved stop to +1.

they don't have months do they? 1 more downgrade and the first week of May...w/o a downgrade, if they get 50 billion euros. maybe...i just don't think they acted decisive enough.

We were all pretty sure pretty quick that the big banks here in US weren't gonna be "allowed to fail"...increase FDIC etc etc...

They didn't act anywhere near quick enough imo. Stones are being throw in gators words...tick tock

Germany is still probably saying "no guarantees" lol...they want this thing lower

well, sure it could dive and start a fierce down trend, but that's not what the charts have been doing in the past 50 days, it's been slow. i only have my charts.

You are far more experienced than I Clouds. I'm just basing this off of the fact that we broke out on weekly and daily euro charts. Check out the monthly candle...
the fundamentals are no doubt bad for the euro. the fundies are improving for USD...might be BS but the media has us sold for now.

I don't trade correlations but if you look at purely the euro charts, yesterday was very different from the last 50 days.

I been long on Yen since last week...
I was speaking specifically of risk aversion returning on the longer TF's and yen making a (likely?) double top on the Daily. I posted elsewhere on this sometime last week but I forget where now, one of Jays threads I think.

Some people here seem to think the dollar weakening against the yen is always a sign of "dollar weakness" but forget that pair is the anti currency. The dollar will almost always weaken against the yen when risk aversion sets back in but that rarely means squat these days relative to the other major pairs... the Buck's fan club always comes runnin back home, no matter what that skizzer bozo posts.

The yen is my canary in the coal mine or the rose bush at the end of the vineyard row (if you're in bordeaux country). Great barometer pair imo....

Just gonna edit this one so I don't have to do fill with another post. My yen trade was closed at +1 long. SAR I'm looking to short now, this will be a short term trade if I take it. we are at dpp and I'm going to see if we react how we did yesterday...
