You know it's time to buy when you see articles like this:
http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2010-0...-analysis.html

this drop is what mfoste1 has been saying for some time ... so why is this news contrarian ..?

Why?
Well, it indicates that bearish commentary and sentiment is going off the deep end and into insanity. To me, it is an indicator of a reversal similar to when people were predicting $200 crude in 2008 and E/U parity a couple of months ago.
There were two of those spikes last night.

Nothing has changed since I last looked. Stories like this were being run back in May around the flash crash and last week alike. The thing about sentiment these days is that you can find a story that displays the kind of sentiment that fits your outlook, either as a contrary or a confirmatory indication. In addition, there are two kinds of sentiment: one type of sentiment tells you where people have put their money (ie COT reports), the other type of sentiment is far more vague - the journalist sentiment. The slippery thing about the latter is that it depends on so many things and unlike the COT report, it is always up to interpretation.

I don't want to start discussing fundamentals and/or technicals here, but ultimately this all boils down to this one question: are you a trend trader or a countertrend trader? I personally feel much better when I am trading with the bigger trend, which is down for the UJ. I do trade against the trend when I find the setup rewarding, but by and large, I stick with the direction of the larger TF. There haven't been any convincing signs that the trend has changed for UJ, so I remain bearish. An article by Bloomberg certainly isn't something to make me change my mind. Price is what matters.
If you don't risk, you don't ever have to lose.
Anyone else watching this for some bullishness? Falling wedge with positive divergence on the MACD (ever so slightly). Worth watching IMO. A/D has also been moving up.

dude, thats stop hunting, nothing more than a dealer intervention......call them and DEMAND immediate action. send them the screen shots. I cant believe that, I thought dukascopy was legit, goes to show you cant trust anyone. I may close my account with them, thats complete bullshit. I didnt have the spikes on my chart, but they could still do the same to me at any time.

Right now it seems like FXCM is my borker of choice, they have made some ground up recently and resolved a few of the issues i was having with them. They are making some progress to screw clients less often i guess.

all borkers suck, its the lesser of the evils.....

try to fix ur tls.....


no im still bearish, this bounce was just short covering after the BOJ made their usual meaningless threat of intervention. The bear flag was reversed by BOJs threats, if they wouldnt have said anything the pair would have continued down, thats why you gotta stay on ur toes with them. Its very rare for a flag like that to get reversed....
