I find reading these posts so useful especially when they are oppersite to my position. It makes me really test my own conviction and make sure my signals were genuine (as I define them). Currently I am long from 1.0060 just before th Oz emp. number and have not yet seen any reason for me to close the position. Stops lifted from initial 1.040 to breakeven for now.

Are you sure about this "Currently I am long"?

Yes Cher I can only follow my system. I won't try and convince anyone of the merits of my view because the last price is where everyone agree current value is .... and what counts is how much one takes out of the market not who is right or wrong. Whatever happens from here I have a free ride and untill I get a sell signal (from the way I define the markets) I'll stick with it.

ok, I respect your opinion, but wait for 1.0060

And that last move is why you always watch the COT and open positions. 82 % of retailers just got screwed. Wonder how many stops and margin calls we saw on that move =)
Retailers can't be that heavy and not go unnoticed by the commercials. T/P 1 at .9930 (august 2011 low) Sold at 1.0124, stop at b/e.

wow! No, I am an independant trader who trades for myself and some clients I've had for 20 yrs. I am stopped at breakeven now FYI. Your conspiracy therory amazes me. I speak to prop traders all over the world and we often have opposing positions. (maybe different timeframes) but we would never accuse each other of having any motive other than to make money.

if you look at the oanda positioning, there are so many longs under water, either they have really small positions, but uv got people long from 1.08 to 1.04 still in the market...maybe there stops are at parity, but that would be obvious...drop to 0.99 and kill the longs, drop to 0.96 and people may wonder if we're going to form a lower low as the last launch pad was at 0.9...

Maybe monkeyforex but I think these markets are way more diverse in terms of participants that a forum like this would have you beleive. For example, retail Japanese FX traders have been buying the dip all the way down in the AUD/JPY from my measures. ( I have watched their trading habits for years via the Tokyo Futures Exchange). Mrs Watenabe as I call them will lighten on any rallies and keep buying the dip. Always averaging price, always staying net long. It takes a "flash crash" or a tsumani type left feild even to take them out of their positions.

Having worked in the financial sector, the brokers have no need to have positions against you. Thats more so the banks and the funds. The brokers make enough on the spread. Say for example I have 200 000 dollars in my account with reasonable 25:1 leverage. I buy 50 lots at a 2 pip spread. The broker just made 5000 dollars. Personally I'm a scalper and with the amount of trades I take, brokers make at least a few hundred off me a day.
Long story short, the conspiracy theories are ridiculous.

Lets be clear, the banks, funds and firms do. The brokers are more profitable if you keep your money.
