We probably gonna have a risk on day for London session but I'm taking my risk on sentiment to the USD/CAD and AUD/USD instead.
If you had played the EUR/USD the same way you would be at least +30pips in the green.

I doubt it will last to NY open but who cares? Trade the NOW.

Explain plse RISK ON
Risk on = assets and markets more closely related to higher risk (yet often higher reward) are being bought up by market participants rather than lower risk (yet more stable) assets.

USD and U.S. bonds and the Yen and (until recently) gold, precious metals, etc... are considered risk off assets.

euro, emerging markets, aud, and equities are considered risk off assets

At this exact moment, all my instincts are yelling that it's a bull trap, though I see the PA. If my SL triggers, my SL triggers. That's it.

Coming back in a half an hour, to see something interesting.
Please, just slap me around if I'm being silly ...

What is pushing eur up apart from the fact that very often, the market doesn't do what you think it should do, is that stocks are being bought around the world, which means 'risk on' Investors on such days, pull their money out of US treasuries and put it into stocks. This sends the dollar down, and conversely, the euro up. However, if you look at the way euro is creeping slowly up, there's not a lot of conviction behind it, which means a fast and furious snap down could happen with some bad news.

Explain plse RISK ON
People are putting their money into more riskier assets/currencies such as equities/commodities or any other currency except for USD/CHF/JPY.

And correction to forextraderx, any currency that is not USD/CHF/JPY are all risk currencies.

Risk off = Money flow to USD/CHF/JPY

Risk on = Everything but those holy trinity.

But still...If you trade intraday you shouldn't be bothered with the long term sentiment but the sentiment for the day.

I've just booked my 100 pips from Gold, AUD and CAD.

Gonna wait for shorting opportunities when fundamentals reverse.

Explain plse RISK ON
It is very easy. You are playing Money Making Game. For sure, you dont need fundamental analysis. You dont even need to understand to technicals. Just watch the panic. PANIC!!! Once people start to panic, risk is off (meaning apetite for risk instruments is off). You need to run and take cover! But wtf is that safe haven?

True. Sentiment prevails almost all the time and it's irrational.

It is funny though that as long as majority believe in something, it becomes fact. Hell, you could make the drachma or Greek bonds a safe haven as long as you have enough followers.

I'm sure this will find a way to press higher (because..why not), but it's looking awfully tired already.

I'd be out of long positions by the NY session.
