well so much for the current lows to hold so we probably won't get the HUGE rally either ... go for the ice cream

rally is coming.....at least 20-30 pips

hate big fridays, market goes flat for day's, then when you get the direction it's too late to trade, unless you're prepared to risk a weekend hold...

EZ politicians contradicting themselves in the wires as expected after the Holidays. Merkel no more, French PM we need more, Italian Monti all in, one after the other and that is only counting the major names...the endless list of eurocrats is even more contradictory..the usual noise and BS before key decisions on the Euro zone.

Most key markets formed chop zones in unsustainable levels (for holding much longer) intraday. Euro strangely the clearest of all behaving properly testing daily R. Nothing new this morning session, same levels, same...

Exact same thing happened to me last week for the Aussie Short play. 1.0428 was hit going into the closing hours. I pulled the order because of the weekend. Not complaining that much, as the fall is barely at 50 pips now... but still, annoying.

  1. 10:02 AM Finance ministers likely will discuss oil markets at October's IMF meetings, a UK Treasury source tells Reuters, after the G7 nations say they may tap strategic reserves to calm prices. With Canada opposed to a release of oil, a coordinated G7 tapping of reserves is seen as unlikely, but a strong joint statement at the IMF could help cool prices. 2 Comments

  2. 9:04 AM Going before the microphones after meeting with Mario Monti, Angela Merkel says she agrees with Mario Draghi that granting the ESM a banking license is incompatible with EU treaties (has she been tipped off on the German Constitutional Court ruling?).
