Heh bastards. Only here for a few PM's. Not planning on contributing much here.

Been busy finetuning my scalping strategy. Not doing too bad.

http://www.myfxbook.com/members/cloggie/cloggie/166102

Will take it down in a few days, just wanted to share what proper research can do for a scalping strat, keeping pretty much to the 1% risk rule, starting with a small account size. This all goes back to the discussion from last night, you need proper, fast and uptodate data. I am keeping the history secret, don't want anyone reverse engineering...

Hi Cloggs,

Didn't see the chart but was interested in the risk you had for each trade. When scalping, I let the trade run for a longer time if it goes against me (worse r:r) against all textbook stuff but its working very good and that's what its all about... Average positive pips, so no fixed PC on the trades...

Here is an example of a setup from just now...

Definitely smells of "under the radar" QE3 on first read. Sisse? Quant? Cloggie?
Well nothing major in the policy side in the FOMC but a couple of key comments that are very relevant for currencies.

As expected in the mortgage-backed securities and the maturity extension program ("Operation Twist")so most of the meat was already digested on the markets. The lack of more QE3 disappointed short term and trigger sell (buy the rumor sell the news is over now).

What I find particularly important in terms of currencies is soft dollar guarantee and reconfirmed till mid 2013 (long term) and finally the FED recognize that the real economy is going nowhere and there is no one single sector ticking up (except inflation) in the US economy.

The "significant downside risks to the economic outlook" opened a whole new set of FA levels as risk aversion is the name of the game (short term) until some miracle happens and the next US numbers start ticking up (starting with NFP).

So if we add further bank downgrades in the US today, European banks desperate looking for a safeguard (BNP looking for Qatar funds before a downgrade) and the debt crisis risk is the name of the game for the next couple of weeks.

Euro on the close is opening 1.349x at least and 1.331x/1.329x before Greek bailout is hand in.

In simple words soft dollar long term and risk aversion short term.

So the pundits and the banks and everybody saw it all coming, exactly. It was just muppets and late to the party money and short covering that put 4 points on the ultra and 2 points on the long bond in 10 minutes. Right. So it should be back down where it was ... wait, it's still going up...

It's going to be real interesting to see the COT and find out who was long.
