{quote} Well it is less risky than going short. Everyone is already short.
Actually according to the trade explorers the majority are long; which is to be expected because everything LOOKS perfect for a sustained up move, but looks are deceiving. It will pop up then slam down. The safe trade is shorting above 1.3000.

{quote} Oh yeah once FF longs close their positions pa will drop 100 pips.
I'm not talking FF longs, but longs at major brokers.

Problem is that many brokers use dealing desk hence it has no impact on market.

Always safer to go against retail. Anyway, if we don't make a new high today, bulls are done and a drop should come starting today/tomorrow.

Small players (non reportable) are 87 990 shorts vs 36 588 longs. That is 71% short.

Futures and forex are months apart. In forex, retail is long from 1.3360 on average and short from 1.2950. Longs are 60%, as I just checked, 55% is only Oanda. We are at a bad number to short right now, I agree with that...but everything above 1.3 will be a good short, or close below 1.3.

When someone buy big amount of future contracts it has realtime impact on fx market.

I meant non reportable instead of other reportable (those ones are bigger players).

We will see later this week, I'm really curious, if bulls are able to close above 1.3, in case we break it after FOMC.

Yep, I'm glad I have no open positions, but I plan to short the first spike up, if it comes. Just for a scalp, that will be it.

As cruel as it may sounds like, i say at least one of you would get blow up within the next 30 minutes. One of you would hit the jackpot and hope your luck would continue running with you as long as you think its there till the next blow up.

Again, if you are in fx trading business in less than 1 good year or so, someone told u trading FOMC is the best way to get rich, holding on your current +1 or +2 pips position just to see what's up, or loosing up or removing your stop just to get ready for the big move, I suggest you close your position already and shut down your computer till Tokyo section.

If you want a good honest piece of risk management advice, here it is.
If u luv happiness, start w/ discomfort, make friends w/ pain and failure.

Honestly, every trader (aka gambler) is waiting for this moment.

It seems lately that... every time it's sure to go on way... it goes down a little up a little then back to the middle.... really the only bad thing you can do is over leverage thinking there is a strong sustained move.

If there was no FOMC in 15 minutes, I would be already short scalping every move above 2960...but this will probably shoot higher after the release.
