Everything is getting back to normal now...
Given how much central banks are still intervening I wouldn't hold my breath...not yet at least

But yeah, for once correlation actually worked again.

I cannot see the point in even analysing it for the sakes of intraday or even medium-term trading. It's but a number!
The point is EURUSD is in a range market nearly 70-80% of the time...
Only 20% is trend trading, mostly AFTER THE NEWS...
So if you're targeting in 10-15pip profit it's ok.
If you however want targets 50+, 100+ you MUST NOT ignore fundamental facts.
I don't like fundamental analysis, but that's the way it works, and we cannot do anything about it.

Agreed...we do have quite a few long term traders in this thread though. Personally I don't pay all that much attention to fundamental news aside for my full time job. Charts are enough

Was just curious as it's conveniently positive while it really isn't if you bother to see through their bull****. The one figure I care about is the Baltic Dry Index...
Out of interest mate, what's your line of work? I must have missed it on earlier posts..

It all seems suspiciously convenient most of the time.. I do wonder if its the news following the technicals?? A bit like media and politics.. The BDI is a good direct show of trade and economic health.
Don't over egg the cake.

I sell hotels for a living. As for the BDI, it's slightly skewed as there is more supply in transport ships compared to pre-crisis levels. A lot of ships started being built around the crisis hit, and quite a few of those have only come online last year. Still a good measure of overall economic health.

But seriously what I have noticed is that for the first time in last 3, 4 years EURUSD is finally "positively correlated"....

i do agree with you. to target 50 pips or more you have to predict what is the news release to be. some fundamentals work to move the price beyond support n resistance.

since NFP, USD become stronger. now the market ask them to PROVE it with the following news release. but like my previous posts we still have to consider that USD currently targeting its strong resistant. once usd index almost test its resistant, it is a good entry to long EU

Nice. I weigh in dustcarts! Rubbish job (boom boom) . But it gives one ample time to hone their forex trading! Want to be full-time within 18 months if possible..

As for the BDI, there is always some sort of lag/skew by the virtue of the fact that ships future traded assets really. They're ordered on guesswork. But then that tells you a lot. They must follow those technicals, which goes back to what I was saying before.

Hotel management business?
Not managing myself...I'm mostly selling hotels (or hotel portfolios) for owners, or advise various clients if they want to buy hotels (mostly PE groups). Been doing that for a bit over 3 years now. Before that I was doing hotel development feasibility studies in the Middle East, Africa, backwater Russia (bastards always sent me to the crappy places instead of St Petersburg) and the London luxury market towards the end.
