{quote} on the first watch this is unlogical, yes... but this is due to time lag of economic indicators.
agree, but kind of makes you think how wrong all the macro that comes out is, we'll see what final numbers show.
swing it!
We all sometimes have to depend on some people's grammatical speech to know where and when to place a trade. This is unfair....... yellen is our next dictionary today

{quote} there are a lot trading yen...but they use other threads to talk about it.....
Well i see that many pairs other than eur/$ have been discussed here. And the yen threads r practically dead.
Hard to get a feel for USD here. Data prints today have been all over the place. GDP was fine if you take out investments and exports. Given that consumption is 2/3rd of the economy the number isn't as horrible as it looks on the surface. ADP and Chicago PMI were good...


I think just theres a surprise that that number was so close to zero. It also looks like it could have been negative if it wasnt for obamacare related spending. Also have to consider how many exports to Canada were delayed to weather. SO many question marks...


At the end of the day the GDP data is an old lagging indicator, and after Chicago PMI didnt seem to confirm any softness its hard to shift views with any conviction.

this why retail traders dont succeed in this business . {image}
They did a get job running the price down first to grab stops before running the price up. This market is totally rigged and you have to know where that might pull this crap in order to be successful,that or use stops that are so big the are very risky in themselves.

I had a long from yesterday with a 15 pip stop and I know the only chance I had was if price just took off north from the Euro news, other then that...............

This is why I generally don't have any open trades going into big news events or try to trade during them, news events have become nothing more then a clearing house event for the BIG BANKS, they often use them to wipe out both long and short traders before pushing price in one direction.

isn't that the way FA always works? In the aftermath of events one will find an answer/excuse to justify the moves.

I can come up with dozens of events, where the same outcome of data was one time interpreted bullish and next time bearish.

Social mood is driving the price, and social mood can go everywhere. A change in social mood does not need extrinsic triggers.

{quote} sorry, what is the point?
there is no point , in fact from short and long calls that i ve seen yesterday at 3810 , I was almost sure none of them would catch the right flow. both bulls and bears [bulls who fear the yuro falling from 3790 and bears who think that they got a long term tarde from the highs ] got their stop hit .

What if Yellen halts QE reduction or delay it in time? That's a full percentage point, could be weather related(as usual excuse) just wonder what FOMC will say about that,
swing it!

COT: The precious data ignored
The MMs have completely f**** up pa.

There are only 2 solutions:

a) Much higher
b) Much lower mt.

Which direction I do not know, I think lower would be easier for pa but atm the probability aims to higher.
I expect a move not less than 100-200 pips, we are in the middle of nowhere again.

Make your choice.

I didnt explain todays moves with FA...I believe theres a specific flow out there thats been driving the Dollar for the past few months.

When that ends then the FA will matter. So my view is based primarily on timing the end of said flow, and secondly on FA. Thirdly on technicals.


Caveat being I plan to hold a long USD position for upwards of a year, once there is the initial momentum. Im not day trading, or intraweek.
