I forgot to mention that the H4 Stochs are in the overbought reversal zone... caution as I always "try" to expect the unexpected!!
YEA problem is, I am never around when there is a really good place to short. Small green pips though? why? I forgot to set my TP!!! What the hell. no complains. still green for the day.
May the pip flow with you

Green is green. You can go for the big bag or the small bag it just depends on the setup and your trading style. I honestly make more green grabbing 5 - 10 pips on each trade than I do by going after the big tamale.

A/U. Good morning, afternoon or evening...wherever you are! U.S. elections today...I must go vote in 3 hrs.

If you missed the rate hike 120 pip move you might want to wait to see a retest of the old UTL to take a long.

Hey Marc!

I totally missed that rate hike but sure seen the effect of it. :o
Not been trading the Aussie lately and think I will wait for FOMC tomorrow before looking for new setups. Hopefully this will bring us some direction again. Especially that EUR/USD rollercoaster is driving me crazy looking for swing-setups :o
Managed to grab some pips yesterday on a short from 1.40 area down to 1.39. But again after cashing in the first half , second half stopped at BE.
After the rally today now I was tempted to short again but didn't as we broke the UTL and got a new swing high now.
So lets see if FOMC will bring any changes tomorrow.

Good Job on E/U! It's a crazy week! RBA rate hike; U.S. elections; FOMC/QEII; and U.S. Employment figures! Oh boy!
I should probably go golfing this week to avoid the mess but I have a feeling next week will be very very quiet...and that doesn't equate to pips for me!

Ya.. some news on the agenda for this week...
Golfing sounds like a good idea... Glad I still got my daytime-job these days.
I couldn't force myseld into many trades at the moment.

Concerning the U.S. elections do you expect any effects on FX or equities?. --> Not really into US politics I have to admit

Most "experts" are saying that a Republican takeover of the House is expected and therefore already baked into the price of equities and hence the value of the USD. Now a takeover of the Senate is another story. If the Republican's take the Senate the equities should skyrocket higher since it's not baked in. That should in theory drive the USD down and Gold UP... Bill Gross of Pimco is suggesting that we see another 20% decrease in the value of the USD... if that is the case than the E/U and A/U should continue up strongly over the next year or so.

None of it really matters to me (in terms of FX) since I don't hold positions that long...I just need some good volatility in the market (not too much) to make my green! My equities would be grateful if the market continued higher and my pocket book too because assuming the Republicans take over the chance of my taxes increasing is highly unlikely! In two years, who knows maybe a Republican gets the Presidency and the FinReg gets repealed or at least the leverage goes back to 100:1 for me.

I talked to some brokers about the effect of FinReg on their business...U.S. clients are fleeing FX due to the leverage decrease and the increase in margin requirements...I've been feeling a bit lonely over here! I wish I could open a broker account elsewhere but my Aussie account was closed last week as the U.S. Govt imposed it's jurisdiction over U.S. citizens in foreign countries. This isn't a good situation Tuner! America is supposed to be the Land of Opportunity not the Land of Entitlements. If I wanted the later I would look for citizenship elsewhere. That is not the case so I voiced my opinion and VOTED this morning!

Thanks for the backgrounds.. So lets see if there will be some effects.
Some volatility and a "direction" would be OK for me as well

The FinReg stuff with the reduced leverage was really surprising to me. Most surprising that the US started it (as you say The Land of Opportunity...)
Might not take long till Europe starts regulations like this as well. As they were already talking about international rules and regulations is what we need. :nerd:
I think there is more behind those regulations.. Not to protect the stupid little trader who is not able to calculate risk and reward of his trades
FX might be the "game" of the big banks only...again

So not going to quit my daytime job too soon I think

Hi, Marc. Interesting to read your view on the potential impact of the election result. The gossips I have read is that if GOP takes back both houses, then dollar should strengthen, even though briefly, due to the expectation that Republicans would reign in borrowing and spending (so less QE2), and that means markets have got a bit ahead of themselves in pricing in too much QE2.

Always good to see some other views.
