{quote} Ummmm...it went up? ... ... lol .... 7000 still being defended as of yet. Not sure but you know how good USD numbers always helps the dollar so much. Now the TIC Long-Term Purchases were rather ugly. If I knew what that meant it might help some. But apparently it outweighs all the other crap? Face it my man. We are shorting a bull market pure and simple. I know this and have known this for a very long time with every short I place. It's a risky game. It's why my shorts are small and on a tight leash unless PA...

That's the way we play game bro. Lord knows I'm not buying here under 7000 so what's left? A couple more shorts at even better price than I had before.

I could have covered those other 2 but so close to entry it wouldn't have made much difference. A few pips here, a few pips there. I put them in the R&D expense category...lol

When the week really gets moving, I'll make them back in spades, with interest on this and other pairs.

If someone put a gun to my head and said choose? I'd have to go with EU atm. Only because there's no way I'm buying GU right under 7000 without a clear break. The way EU is looking right now, it could see 38ish I think.

The way euro is making a little high: cramp up a little, wait a little for cable to retrace cable's up move due to euro's up move, then euro cramp up again. euro wants to go up but does not want cable to follow. This is likely how the big guys play the game.

Every time you find yourself feeling the need to seek external validation

for your trading decision, is high-probability signal that it's best to sit

on the sidelines until such time you regain enough perspective to make

a decision with confidence again on your own.

GU Daily

Start of the week and before end of play we seem to be forming a long legged doji...

1.705 still not hit but 1.7 tagged in the morning
Wedgish thing agrees with 1.705 PA doesn't yet

{quote} I also saw that and was wondering if it was some kind of system anomaly, since it was also shown in the USD/CAD chart. I trade through FXCM and have shorts that should have executed were that to have been actual price movement. Now, the charts don't show the spike ... . Mmmm.
Hi Everyone,

I apologize for this. It was a bad tick (an erroneous price) that came through on our feed during the opening of trading yesterday. If any of your trades were negatively impacted, please file a trade inquiry using the following information: http://support.fxcm.com/status/

A nearly 4000 pip bad tick? How do you get an erroneous price? (No need to answer that rhetorical question Jason ). It's just that, WOW! Now I really am starting to feel like I'm in The Matrix .... lol
