No question is newbie question.

QE2 has less impact than QE1. Some expect that QE3 will have even lesser impact or no impact at all.

QE is supposed to reduce USD strength.

Maybe a newb question, and I did collect a couple of $$ on that move but I could have done more, so is there a rule of thumb when it comes to major announcements and when to close a position, like wait 2 miniutes or it averages 30pips.. anything like that that may help me collect more pips next time? I think I have heard it takes an hour for things to settle back in to the groove of the previous trading mentality.. Just looking for thoughts.. thanks

Depends on the line you are swinging. If you have sufficient resources it doesn't matter.

If you don't it is best to remain flat during "major" announcements and not try to be a hero.

I don't believe that for a minute.

I use many of Tom DeMark indicators which he developed for George Soros, Paul Tudor Jones, Steven Cohen etc.

Of course they use fundamentals too. Some more than technical.

But the wise thing to do is use what works for you. A little of this and little of that. All of this and none of that. Whatever.

But as far as who moves price. The market does. And the market is comprised of all of the above.
Pure technicals go from resistance to support and back and back again.
Without a fundamental move there is NO TREND.
If you don't believe that, fine with me.

Lol, these Euro moves make no sense. There's no big news, no economic data; I don't get it.

Unless something substantive happens in the Euro's favour that really changes the game, I believe the situation will be comparable to the June - July play out.

So wtf happened? My 30 lot position seems to have gone in the wrong direction? Happy that I'm just kidding, but what about the FOMC, QE3 after all or am I confused here?

RE: earlier usd/cad and usd/chf post

the trend is still up long term.

this move is news induced thus short lived but does present a chance to buy at a cheaper price.

if your perspective is short term then you were correct.

long term my theory, is we continue up after the news orgasm is over.

another way of looking at this move, a chance to knock out the weak longs with small margins(read retail traders) and accumulate more at a cheaper price.

running of the stops?

many different names but the game is the same.

very good advice, Im sure I have a few new wrinkles on this one for one stupid digit on a bad order which I should be fine with, if I can survive this little spike...

So if i understand things properly the no QE3 thing is bad news for the Eur so all its doing right now is collecting stops? I'm sure with a little help from teh pro Eur camp as well while its moving, but gelerally just collecting stops, am I correct? thanks
