{quote} That is a million dollar question, still remember the days we had 200+ pips average daily range. The whole FX trading changed mate, it will likely to stay this way until Sep/Oct I guess...

I love it way more the way it is now. I found it since ever more easier to play the ranges than the breakouts

At least my systems do work in ranging conditions much better than in strong directional moves

the stock markets are compressing near the top and volatility is low. All other markets cannot be volatile. Just wait for stock markets to tank, volatility will rocket up for Forex.

Hope you long guys have your s/l in place.

Although I was and still am expecting a higher target things don´t look too good for the upside.

Scalping - I mean true scalping - is close to impossible with these ranges, two of the best algo angineers I know got sacked end of June in the City. The reasonable/acceptable draw down levels of their algos breached by 150%. Tough times I must admit. The problem is we are addicted to this shit, what else can we trade man? Any ideas?

I couldn't agree more with Forex Crunch that today dollar has ignored below 3 key bullish events,
http://www.forexcrunch.com/3-dollar-...gnores-so-far/

  1. FOMC Meeting Minutes: The Fed last met in mid June, way ahead of the excellent Non-Farm Payrolls report. Nevertheless, the members finally spelled out that QE would probably come to an end in October. This means that the last cut in bond buys will be in the scale of $15 billion, thus removing the doubt about a last taper of $10 billion in October and an end to QE in December. In addition, many participants want an end to re-investments coming with the first rate hike. This is a first mention of actual tightening of the Fed’s balance sheet. This is not a detailed exit strategy but a first step towards one in the Fed’s communications.
  2. Fed watcher sees a change: Jon Hilsenrath of the Wall Street Journal has moved the markets more than once. He went to explain the positive shifts in US employment, by various measures and made a clear statement that the “time is ripe” for the Fed to acknowledge these improvements. What does he know that we don’t know? The first answer came shortly afterwards.
  3. Bullard for the bulls: FOMC member James Bullard gave an interview to Bloomberg and supplied a lot of fuel to USD bulls. Similar to Carney, he said that the Fed can raise interest rates sooner than investors expect and even that inflation will “overshoot”. He tied between the stronger employment picture and a rise in inflation. So far, inflation certainly remained subdued, but this could change. The next FOMC member on the docket is Stanley Fischer, who will talk later in the day.
    ​

As the matter of fact, I heavily suspect the dollar hike was completely distracted by the reversal in US 10-year yields today.

If u luv happiness, start w/ discomfort, make friends w/ pain and failure.

also trading commodities (long) China stocks (long) both without leverage holding positions and as said will try short BUNDS around 148 for a major turn.
Don't know what "true" scalping is don't use algo's either, just following my mind state from day to day

{quote} Summer of 1995 ? Didn't the Euro come into trading only in 1999 ?
Thats exactly what i was wondering when i passed 1999 historical data on EU, and i could even go back to 1971, no idea how. Maybe was somehow DM merged into EU price action before 1999? No idea really.

Ive been bullish for days but I think people holding shorts want to be careful over next few hours, looks like it might really drop now.
