Of course it is not centralised.... but if someone tells me that the price at Sunday evening is 13166 at Bloomberg and 13188 in Reuters at the very same second, then any decent trader with access to both will go long at Bloomberg and short in Reuters... provided that the spread is not more than 22 pips.... but maybe I am just a newbie who is simple minded and don't understand how things work in real life... right?

If the different is 1 pip or less than of course it would not worth the while to do it...
thing is it wasn't 1.3188 on reuters it was the same as bbg at 1.3166

Yeah fair enough, Don't know what that other nutter is on about it being at 1.3188 when every broker had a small gap down.

EUR/USD Set To Drift In Holiday Trading - HSBC

23 Dec 2012, 22:40


2140 GMT [Dow Jones] The EUR/USD is likely to drift in Asia in holiday-thinned trading, says Daniel Brdanovic, HSBC's chief manager for New Zealand. "There is no news out. The only thing that will make a difference is something on the fiscal cliff," he says, adding the EUR/USD "has held up relatively well considering what happened in equity markets Friday." The pair is at 1.3178 early in New Zealand versus 1.3183 late Friday in New York. Brdanovic says it has support around 1.3140 and resistance at 1.3230.

Can someone bring some light on my following question:

Why does the postponed fiscal cliff result in a stronger USD vs. EUR? My thought would be that it would result in stronger EUR.

I'm short EUR/USD at about 3180 and think there will probably a late decision on the fiscal cliff still this year...
why not react instead of guess. the credit crises in 2008 early on had many thinking it was euro positive. then reality set in. what happend after shortly after Bear and Black Rock made the news. what happend after that in July. We dont know what will happen. It would be silly to think, a lucky guess was an educated guess, on the future. but if your looking.. u will get many free ones here. if your silly enough to buy one, many are willing to sell you one.

im just scalping for now. maybe a buy at 3124.. looks like it want 3258 r 81.. ill look for a setup anywhere. maybe 3168 will be a decent pullback..

3258 is now 3241 + as norm.
i said 3121 week. 2124 ish today..
its norm to bounce to 3241 before 3082... its the holidays.. we shall c. we never have to bounce. its just norm.
289x is another we never retraced too. 3188 is still doing its thing. 3168 was a norm, i was waiting for deeper at 3121 ish to look for a L.. then a possible s 3241 + ish
the year us about over.. at some point if bears do show up. they will want -2962 at years end.

I posted a chart of my Euro position Friday; I am looking to scale out my shorts @ 1.3125. It's nice to see someone else with a similar idea.

8:36 AM The BOJ must double its inflation target to 2% or the government will pass a law forcing it to do so, says incoming PM Shinzo Abe. BOJ Governor Shirakawa seemingly already waved the white flag on this matter last week, but he's also on record as saying 2% is unrealistic given Japan had a 1.3% average inflation rate even during the bubble years.

3168 is norm in the st before 3588... we also have a bigger one where it didt pay the toll at 289x.. both are norm,, 68 has now been met. the recent trend is bullish. the st pa wants 3082 min. but before 3082 a bounce to 3241 is norm. i like below 68 norm because r/r is better,.. 3121 would of been better to L,, but now since bears have stated they want 3082. it makes things a little muddy. the bulls need to hold 3188+ at close or the norm retrace to 2894 is easier to get to. we still may have the norm to 3241 w/o a higher high.. but if we close...

Well, reacting means waiting, and waiting means having no position, and having no position means having no chance of making profit. On the other hand, guessing is "exciting", same feeling like playing roulette or blackjack, means that you have some chance of winning, although bigger chance of losing....

I mean, if I have to react, I have to wait for a test of 3126, get a confirmed rejection, before I take long... shit, that means if it breaks through 3126, I would have spent hours waiting and still have no position... on the other hand if I want to take short, I have to wait for a retest of 3219/3231, got a confirmed rejection before I took short... that is also a waste of time if it manage an hourly close above... I might as well guess and get excited, right?

Lol, patients is a virtue and those that do not have any is less likely to succeed. Not ever trader has similar systems, yet we all react to indicators (data in general) that will give a buy or sell signal.

I just do not know why people criticize others over their methods. Everyone can have different opinions without being an assholes. Winner and loser to every trade.

I took several months off from this forum because it became nothing but petty quarrels - somethings never change.

Couldn't agree more with you. Forex is a game where those who are prepared to be patient and wait would have a bigger chance to take money from those who wants excitement and are impatient. Luckily we always have both of them.

Well, last year 27th Dec had 33 pip range and 28th Dec had 168 pips range. Considering that we have US Fiscal Cliff still not resolved, I am expecting the same this year, where you could have 1 really quiet day when there is no FC news and 1 really crazy day when a big news is announced.
