{quote} you know in the bank world.... "Flow" is a business FX Corporate Sales, Flow Business means im primarily placing orders for corporate clients, no position taking on behalf of the bank, only filling clients orders. just to clarify, because im in Corporate Sales, my placing or orders are huge enough to move the market, by 10-20 pips at liquid trade hours.... sooo if anything..... the fact that its boring today.... means well a 60 pips is nothing ..... 1 order moves market 30 or so pip in illiquid times on the EURUSD.... goes to show how big...
Pure curiousity, how many lots usually move eurusd of 10-20 pips in liquid times?

{quote} then they probably wont show. still expecting the bearish cycle to finish the move down at 1.22

Am also expecting to see bearish cycle but that being at the end of the year.. see 122.05 or even 1.2155 but end of the year and quarter we are a little early for.. despite stochs being bearish I think at around 1.2467/73 bulls will be buying today.. targeting 1.2526/32 and again they will be back tomorrow prob in Asia at 124.90... can see us filling the gap too 1.2612 then am unsure... possibly could get too 1.2714/51 then see a resumption of downtrend but any7 longs if they work out I will be taking off at gap fill at 1.2610 but definitely see us making a move down to 122 but think we are a little early for it

{quote} I don't expect for the EUR-USD to peak up to that high after from now but you may never know
Thanks! Yes, given the news coming out over the coming weeks, I suppose that is very unlikely.

I never traded 500 lots, but used to trade more than 100lots many times, and sadly i never moved even nzdusd of 1 pip in asian session.

Now, sounds weird.

I guess the possible explanation can be one of the followings:

1) my broker (a "real ecn", very famous and reputable one) don't place client's orders on the market.
2) 100 lots are too much little to move the price even of 1 pip (and then i would doubt that 500 lots move eurusd of 14pips on a busy london session).

I have no idea which one of the explanation is the true one, nor really care about it.
Was just curious

cigarettes are not my drug of choice.... Caffeine is... see my tumbler? thats where i usually order my favorite iced/hot mint mocha with double shot espresso added

besides its a law here in Hong Kong, no smoking in work places... or anywhere indoors in fact...
heck we cant even smoke in public parks nowadays....

That's very possible my friend, it is the butterfly effect.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butterfly_effect

This world is really way more complex than our brain is able to understand, i personally belive on the butterfly effect!

The lotsize in se isn't important at all, even a demo trade can move the market if the right conditions are met.

or as a greek friend of mine from the old times used to say.... "give me a place to stand and i will move the earth..." or was it "give me 100 lots to trade and i will overturn the US session"...?...

it was so back...in the past...and i cant remember it....
