morning all,

I am still targeting 1.249x to 1.256x at the moment and it needs to stay above 1.224x for that.

morning all,

I am still targeting 1.249x to 1.256x at the moment and it needs to stay above 1.224x for that.

I concur -- higher more likely with 1.2240 a line in the sand

I have some buy limits layered in around the 1.2300 figure, some more that probably wont be troubled around 1.2260 area.

I have put in a small 1/4 sized position sell order just below 1.2400 in case we get turned back on low volatility.... but the size indicates my trepidation. Stop 1.2405

Just above 1.2400 at 1.2405 I have a full sized buy order... I think if that gets tripped we at least test 1.2440.

If the buy orders above 1.2400 are tripped, I'll take half the profit at 1.2440, and look to add 1.2455.... 1.2500 will be very strong resistance.

I have a small position @ 1.2352 will add above 1.2375 and again above 1.2400

good trades to you

I have canceled my sell limits... even though they are small in size, I just don't like the risk/reward ratio they offer... maybe I'll miss an entry here... but that would be OK, can't and shouldn't try for every single possible entry, there are plenty offered every day

... I think I'll stick with buying much lower, or buying a break of 1.2400....

For now at least.. subject to change of course at any time given unfolding events.

Looking at other markets there is no denying everyone is buying on recent Spanish Bailout/Merkel support of same. No sense shorting into all that sentiment... misplaced or not. At the same time I am not thrilled at buying at current levels... trades 1.2354.

Its not possible to push the Euro down in the face of equities on both continents that are threatening a breakout to new multi-year highs...

The Euro briefly dipped lower on the German Fin Min comments, but equities continued higher. Equities are in the driver's seat and show determination to breakout.

A few pips here and there. It's gotta happen sometime.

Closed my EU short @ 1.2305. Going back to GU to focus there. Got to sort this trade out first.

That was likely a good decision Mr. Tau. There is lots of support for EU at various levels below 1.2300... even if we go lower, there isn't much room to run without bumping into yet another support area. You captured a nice pip haul on that trade.. No need to bat for the fences.

Mr. Tau is A WINNER !!!

Good day to you, sir

That is nice of you. I feel embarrased.

You are very right. Your posts reflect a very deep understanding of the markets... I wish to be there - one day.

BUT - GU is soo ready to go to 1.5660.. or even 1.5630 - and this is why I will refrain from EU longs for now. UNLESS - correlation is out the window ( which is - at times - probable)

The Renko bars on GU are just sitting there - going nowhere. Indicators show DOWN. So - gotta wish for that...

All the best to you, Crassius

Seldom have I seen a 59 pip range hold for like 48hrs on GU - this is insane.

Anyway.. holding short and wishing for 1.5660 as a target. Will add short
@ 1.5725 and 1.5650

EU could run all the way down to major support area at 1.2270 - 50... maybe that will give room for your GU trade.

There were a lot of orders sitting 2310 to 2300... where I bought as well... but we can afford to hold down another leg to 2270 -50... dont want to though.... will all depend on S&P at this time of day.

You realize that implied vols... derived from options predict the lowest range in EU and GU in 5 yrs this week?

We will experience very narrow ranges the option players have predicted...
