Dollar strength is coming back to the market now!!! this currency don't stand a chance against it!!! sell any rallies you can is my strategy unless there is some dramatic change in ECB policy.

Looks like your going to be in for a bit of a shock!
One thing I have learnt over time is not to base trading on economic fundamentals. A trader must follow only the money. US$ is in sideways to decline effectively supported by the FED and long term US policy. US$ can only gain traction on the basis of serious macro event. If you have a look at Greece Stock Index YTD or even NBG (national bank of Greece) ~100% YTD then you ll appreciate the discordance between the media hype and reality.

Very funny and very much contradicting yourself. So first you say not to base your trading on fundamentals and then you go on with trading with fundamentals. Read it 3 times and you'll know what I mean.

I doubt if Star traders like you cast aspersions on dumbs like us. Used to get so opinionated b4 ( armed with my charts and " I too know" knowledge) but on balance it led me to abyss.

yea what i like to do is if im going to make a direction decision on fundamentals i go flat decide and then check in next week to see if i was right if i was get in on a retrace cause chances are it is just that a retrace. Less likely your decision was random because its supported by ur fundamental view

No that. There is always two sides to a coin per fundamentals. Then one must really see where the least resistance is in the 2-way traffic. So while I speculate on US$ policy and all that..it wont influence my setup at all. Those have long term influence in the market. They dont seem to have anything much on few hours to few days holds. One big mistake many fall into.

i actually would like it to influence my decision as a long or short only mode because id prefer a trade that catches a trend and u may have slightly higher chance. Not letting ur winners run and getting out too early are something too many do which would have long term ramifications on ur equity curve and ur sharpe ratio

Correct. One can have views but never to predict ( with strong opinions) where market must go. There are underlying factors that improve ones odd in the taking a low risk directional bet. Those underlying conditions not only can be seen by having a "bigger picture" view but by also have perfect grasp of what happen in other asset classes. For example..I cant see how one can trade US$ successfully without knowing what happens in the debt martket, Equity market and others.
