Sounds like a decent Friday road map. I wouldn't immediately bet against it.

Yeah, but you closed gold from above, right?

I just meant if gold and Aussie are going up...euro may, too. But, they've all stalled up again.

BBC here just reported that the UBS trader himself reported the trade feckup to UBS and it wasn't the risk department who caught him.

Trading like that would drive me nuts. I like to build positions and hold them. A scalp for me is anything under 30-45 mins.

Not bad for a few days. $75+ in swaps, too.
I have several approaches. All fit a need. Euro...particularly long...where I often expect it to turn and fall on its head; I prefer to go in with decent size lots, but take some out quick to get paid. If I can build a runner out of what remains after partials are closed...so be it. If it turns and falls on its head...I still got paid.

I don't have to touch a thing for those partials to close, though. Also have 1-click trading for entries...no confirmation bollocks. Lightening fast. Sometimes I can't count all the money going into my account quick enough!

Very active morning here.

All position secured now only need momentum. I expect a big overshoot on the TIC but I am relying heavily on Consumer Confidence a disappointment will add another strip on the tiger but I think it will convince stock market to put and end on the rally on air. However, I am betting on the other side (on expectation or slightly above) for "last" rally to R (stock indices and euro as collateral effect) to take profit before key weekly close ...
