and the euro rises, whats that going to do. what products are a hurting tourism economy, going to buy from Germany? when at the same time, u.s. and asian products are getting cheaper. i dont know, but i bet it will be less of the higher priced ones.
which compounds the whole thing creating a vicious circle... well that was my theory on the club med countries anyway, spain, greece, etc...

ireland i think is slightly different with the whole celtic tiger property boom thing, but they're or rather we're all interrelated now thanks to economic globalisation..

eg. a british car production worker employed by toyota in derbyshire, england can now be directly affected by yen strength, etc. etc.

you can tell it's been a crappy untradable day by all the top and bottom wicks on the m15... and price is back exactly where it was at the ny open..

Yeah, if I was slinging intraday, would have been lucky to pull out 50 pips or so.

It's just not being traded. All we had was the retrace from the London drop.. Back to the typical NY session..

if we manage to get to 3157 area and bounce to 3206 13 19 area. i may short with a signal.. if we then make a newer low after that bounce.. i will look to short again in the same place for 3046 target. of the 2, the second is the better r/r

Dirty rotten, up-ticking, non-retracing bastards!

Canceled my1.0453 order on Aussie before Nodville. Was pretty apparent what was happening.
Revenge trading complete. Thanks Gold...thanks Aussie.

Got spanked on Friday from the above. Order restored, plus some for me troubles. Bastards!

Using our good friend Hindsight...I probably should have closed that whole position, but it was a pretty good sized one, figured I would leave some on. Also...had price dropped another $1.50...a stop would have set $7.50 lower. Thanks hindsight.

Will still look for intra-day shorts on Gold until 1680 is taken out.

Friday's fall...ouch! And the Revenge complete. Not really recommended, but so be it.

Obvious drop from Aussie gone wrong. Gentle slope back up at top and bottom from Aussie partials. More pronounced spike back up in the middle from Gold.

This is a "holiday fund" type account. I play with twice the risk that I do on similar accounts. -8% on Friday...more than I would normally play with.

Looking to add again, killer. I have that one small partial still running, but not enough to get rich or poor...where's the fun in that?

If you could spare some lube, brother...will be jumping in with a candle.
