That reminds me.. you can't see it on monthly charts unless you go way back, but there's a super duper monster 50% fib in EU at 1.215.. That "might" be the capitulation low (temporarily albeit) .. Cautious traders can easily profit by placing a sell stop at 1.214 .. should be some major fireworks down there.. You might think you've seen a stop run, but that will be a stop avalanche..

happy trading folks.. it's miller time.
the major 50 comes in at 1.2133.....weve already had the bounce off it even though it didnt make it there....

Looking at all the mess here from our neighbors in Spain and here in Portugal, not to mention Greece (today another big strike across the country) for me it's overbought, but don't take my word for it... I am one of the 98% of guys that always lose in this damn market...
just think you could off shorted the top with a 500 pip sl= to 1% o your acount and walked away.. in November. with no leverage look what you risked. 1%. look what you made.. now add in leverage..

Gigantic spreads now.. Even on direct ECN

EUR spread 5.5- 7.1? WTF usually I have it below 1.0..

Keep this in mind.. ( I will pause my scalping until I see this normalize)

IBFX bucket shop has 4 pips spread now on EU.
I'm seeing a wide-ass spread on my platform too ... IBFX

If we continue on a bull run, what do you think will be the top before the bears come back? I was thinking 1.2710, but may be wrong.

The Europeans aren't concerned about the exchange rate of the Euro, just the rate at which the Euro is dropping. They'll be just fine if EUR/USD reaches parity.. Since the vast majority of EU countries are exporters (particularly the head honcho Germany) they don't really need a strong currency like the US does. $15,000 VW Beetles will fly off the shelf, but it can't happen in a matter of days or weeks because exporters need time to adjust.

Rapid FX moves cause a serious headache for local businesses and industries and the ECB squawks and threatens...
Lot's of truth to this.. As a person that buys in Euros and Sells in USD, extreme moves in short periods of time can be a killer.. Even though I root for a stronger USD vs EUR, sharp moves can drastically effect margins. Even if I come out a winner at times, I would give that up for stability..

I may only trade EUR/USD for fun, I have a lot at stake at all times with my business selling machinery.

Gator, how reliable are the s/r levels that took place like 3 years+ ago? Breaking this down, it was mentioned that 1.25 was a massive support, as was 1.2350 - yet PA just blitzed straight through those levels before bouncing back - but i mean it took a while and a lot of manipulation to bring it back up surely?

I guess what i'm trying to say is those s/r levels could cease to exist hence becoming an unreliable indicator?

I'm curious to know why you think IBFX is a bucketshop ... ....
Because everything with SET pip spread and not direct market quotes

is a bucket shop. On ECN I have Cable spread below 1 pip low commissions

and fast executions and at IBFX it's 4.0 pips/spread plus "Off Quotes", if pair is

slightly moving.. + NO hedging..

long near 2133 t sl and short short 2590 untill a clear direction comes out. it may take many tries.. . at some point we will go not higher then 2360 area.. when 2360 becomes like concrete its time to light this candle. im still long term bearish...this move could take hours or months... a lot could happen between now and then.. but this is the time take profits often..
