FXCM MT4 as it was in line with UK time, however it is still on BST which is a bit annoying.

Hoping it will change at some point, maybe this weekend, anyone got any ideas?
in my view there should be a 30 to 40 pips drop

USDX is the industry standard method of measuring the performance of the dollar against a basket of currencies, the value of which is calculated as follows:

USDX = 50.14348112 × EUR/USD^(-0.576) × USD/JPY^(0.136) × GBP/USD^(-0.119) × USD/CAD^(0.091) × USD/SEK^(0.042) × USD/CHF^(0.036)

USDLFX is a basket developed by Lite Forex. This index can certainly be of some use in determining sentiment towards the greenback. However, I am not sure of the methodology employed by Lite Forex to calculate this index, as it is something I never use.

Overall, the USDX is definitely the one to watch, as it is the definitive benchmark and the technicals derived from this are closely followed by many significant market players.

First you were asking people for help, now you want me to read this? Really mate, I'm not the one needing help on how to trade properly.
I'm gonna tell you this one last time. What you're doing is wrong. Just because someone has an opinion of the dollar turning next week after all those news does not mean you should listen & keep your bad trades. I'll also say this again even if there are people who don't like it. You are only allowing your trade to drown because you're trading from a completely meaningless account size. If you are trading really...
Great post and thought awakening from wormboy causes me to repeat here what I just posted over in Malcolm's VSA thread, with a daily chart instead of H4 - this is especially relevant given QE2 and the initial equity/fx market reaction.

... picking the GU turning point is like driving blind, since you're up against the USD Titanic ... I wonder how much a GBPUSD chart is psychologically influencing us: check USDGBP - remarkably similar to USDJPY isn't it? Not much difference there all of a sudden between Japan and the UK, is there - in fact, based on that premise, you'd almost foreshadow a steeper rise for sterling, no? Bring up the daily version of USDGBP and the yen 15-year high makes GBPUSD of 1.7 in Jul 2009 look like it'll be here any day. Just trying to help with level headed thinking all 'round.

(Didn't realize wormboy's original post was Oct 30 - and called for GU of 1.62 - what a great prediction!)

(In case you want to use this chart/indi, attach it to the pair timeframe chart you wish to display in reverse, then go to Open->Offline & in this case look for USDGBP D1. Enjoy.)

if Official Bank Rate = 0.75% then GBP/USD go Up



if Asset Purchase Facility <= 225B then GBP/USD go Down

Re post above....Both those scenarios remain the lesser probability but not impossible, although even less probable that both would occur together....the market reaction you outline is certainly the conventional response, but anything can happen.

That is not going to happen in a million years, well at least 5 quarters. It would be absolute suicide for Mad-Merve the Swerve to raise, they can be muppets but they are not total idiots.

if Asset Purchase Facility <= 225B then GBP/USD go Down

Any increase at this time on the back of last months numbers would be the action of a desperate currency manipulator and Merve is a lot, desperate he is not.

Both of these scenarios are the least likely ones to happen today and to be honest a facility of 225 would not see a massive drop in Cable at all just a kneejerk and a correction.

Well at least your 10 pips are making up for the 667 you lost last week, now you only have to be right 70 times in a row from here on to break even.


Maybe piping down a bit and going back to basics would do no harm in your trading and your misplaced exuberance would at least keep some of the other muppets here from making the same dire and absolutely unnecessary mistakes as you continue to show here with your posts.

Over 600 posts in a couple of weeks and each and every one has been rubbish, that surely must make you stand out from the crowd in some way at least.
