Simple obsy for the comming week....

Fundies...
1. Euro ges free $$$ from ECB (crisis averted......) even if its BS

2. US downgraded.....not so good

Techs...
1. 1.43 resistance top of channel (rejection and a move lower)
2. possible end of a bull flag (more upside)
Simple analysis, EU seems the better bet, plus a little better rate....

I dont want to bias because I lose $ when I place what I feel the E/U should be doing and in which direction......

Personally, longs may be the order, but.....Until Tues FOMC....its a crap shoot IMO

after long time i log in to oanda , i seen move in chart 2 bar in 1m chart for 9 hours. thank god i don't trade with them 25 pip spread mean kissed my sl

attached daily chart
Given the chart you show the spread is 25 POINTS not pips
that is 2.5 PIPs

This is assuming that the indicator is reflecting the 5 digit price while displaying the 4 digit price. If not it would be more prudent for your indicator to display 25.0 so that one knows that it is displaying PIPs.

That being said. During the last few weeks, the slop at 17:00 EDT has been HUGE, I have seen spreads increase to over 400Points on the Kiwi and aussy and the Yen pairs over 250 Points.

As You have I know have a spread indicator on all charts in case I want to enter into a Buy order.

Typically these fluctuations don't affect my 4 hour trades, although I was caught on a Kiwi trade last week when I bought with a 225 point spread. Fortunately I was able to break even on the trade many hours later.

This is the breaks when trading ECN. I have since employed a market entry script that uses the current price plus a setting for slip window and a limitation on spread. This way I can contain a fast moving price action with the slip window and avoid large buy spreads

expecting volatile sessions ahead. $ will most likely lose the ground, will boost euro higher in logical sense... but i don't think it's gonna be a smooth ride. hope it does, but i think it's gonna be tough to trade.

Yep... last week was a pretty wild ride for sure. Had no daily trades on the euro just scalping the crap out it. Have a day that gains 1800 points, just to have the next day drop us 2700 points only to yet again have a day that gains back 1800. lol.

Thing needs to make up it's fawking mind!

By the way, when my fundamentals prove to be correct it would be nice to get a few vouchers so people listen a little bit to my babbles....just a little bit haha.
Although i do sound like the ranting economics professor with an fx account > i do actually make money on the babble haha
why you begging for vouchers if there is 1 thing flawed then it is that on this forum i see sometimes the biggest muppets who asslicking some other 10 vouchers they dont have no clue what is going on on there chart but when some hero 10v steps in they all asslicking and join the here 10v becuase he is most of the time right and then they also gonna play the hero kind of blind leading the blind most of them already on my iignore list.

I know that - I was talking about other sovereign downgrades from AAA > not the US
Sorry mate...not trying to flog a dead horse, or state the obvious, but for an apples to apples comparison of the question you asked, two criteria should be met...

Downgrade should not only be on an AAA rated country, but also the world's reserve currency.

Don't believe it has ever happened...uncharted territory.
