good ole USA took away leverage. i used to trade with 100.00 account and leverage made it seem like it was 1,000.00. with 100.00 i could trade at 4.00 per pip now it's around .50 cents per pip or close to that.
The shitty thing is, is that they played it off like it was to protect traders. Which, is complete BS as it forces one to start with a larger account if you want to trade and make or lose meaningful amounts of money.

The real reason they really did it was to try and drive traders out of forex and into futures as the agency that oversees forex has a vested interest in futures. Really, they should be brought up on charges for that. Also, it's no business of theirs how people choose to invest/trade/gamble/try a business venture.

same here, but i heard some people (scalpers it seems) use up to 1:400....
that sounds crazy to me as one/two bad moves may wipe you account
i know of a broker that offers upto 1:2000 but i use 1:500 - alpari uk

Current move up might be limited to 1.2295 or 1.2305 ...

If not higher ...

Then down again ...

Retraced out for +35 pips. I'll be looking to go short again, if it looks like its going to make another wave south.

I'm hoping it goes long another twenty pips or so long first to about 1.23180 to make a short move have a better R/R.

I'm really thinking 2259 to 2642 would be a dream come true.. 2259 opens 2168 though.. less reward.

Had a great trading day! Curious what tomorrow will bring. Any major events in the pipeline? I see German CPI and french industrial numbers. Is that big impact news?

Wilder things have happened on ol crazy EU. But, IMO, its too late in the week to see that happening. Though tommorrows friday and maybe we'll see profit taking drive it up.

I'm short biased though. Because after that speech reaction long move we saw last week. We just retraced half of it, I'm thinking price will want to revisit at least where it started from before it took a hit of hopium. Also the D1 looks to have a bearish bias starting to me.

On the other hands there are two very recent wild spike moves from 1.2259, so anything can happen here.

learn all that? I like tech analysis myself, and would like to know procedures, any suggestions?

thanks
(I'm holding few shorts at the moment, $100 x x400 blow at 1.2305, $250 x200 blow $180 at 1.2311 - so trying to decide, close now, and reopen higher up , with minimum loss, or let it run and risk losing $350 v soon.

The only thing that bothers me when it comes to shorts, is if we get to 2168, that will make 2040 very likely.. and I'm not sure it wants to do that just yet.. I agree with you, people didn't buy Draghi's BS.

i agree with him. ones should not blame leverage if they can't plan their trade and mm .. i believe each well known broker give trader an option for leverage thus it's all up to traders to choose.
