OK, all... here is what KGP is too afraid to post. Not sure why he'd call it a rumor when he knew it to be fact...? {image}
the word rumor was used for the ECB event not the greek one

and i was not afraid to post it... just didnt want to post and name one broker thats why i asked for others to share their information

Dear Traders,

Please note that due to the expected extremely high volatility in the market, margin requirements for EUR pairs will be increased fivefold for the period of 48 hours starting from 00:00 (GMT+2) on January 21. High market volatility is expected due to the European Central Bank (ECB) meeting scheduled for Thursday.
FXOpen UK team recommends that all traders consider this information when making their trading decisions.
The company will resume the regular trading regime for EUR pairs on Friday, January 23.
Thank you for your understanding.
Kind Regards,
FXOpen UK Team

it will probably move up to fill some gaps...

personally i doubt greek elections are going to be such a "hit"still trying to figure out even after talking to people making such decisions on why they consider it such a big event...

especially when the chances are i would say 99.99% that we are heading to a second round of elections which probably and ironically would be just before ECB next meeting

Yes, sometimes I leave trades open during the weekend, to catch a gap, but this time I will definitely stay out.

Exactly in the same page mate.
For same reason am loading UJ like crazy since SNB . Hope BoJ today wont make a mess. I dont expect any policy change though as they have just expanded on 31.10.2014, which was a while ago. But, perhaps SNB knew somethink, perhaps BoJ knows as well.

Good luck all

I was told, the SNB simply doesn't have any confidence left concerning the stability and future of the Euro.

A year ago or so I would say "Yen pairs are too crazy for me to trade", but now EU is just as crazy.

Yes, simple answers tend to be the right ones. Also think Swiss were just full of it. Imo good move in the end.

it's quite interesting, it seems brokers are starting to offer negative balance protection. my guy was telling me none of their clients got any slippage. all stop losses respected during Swiss Franc debacle. of course they did suspend trading the CHF pairs, so if you had an open position with no sl your account was destroyed.

{quote} Only 2 clear scenarios until now. 1. The consensus one which is the most probable. Hikes on Q3 2015 (June / August). The expectation will start well before obviously... 2. Yellen is still a "newbie" in terms of rates. An interesting policy with a 50/50 odds in my opinion is an overshoot move in policy before (very valid monetary policy wise). Given the strong US numbers and very low inflation numbers (deflation in Europe and Japan) the FED can try to outsmart markets making a quick hike in the next couple of months catching most players...
8 times in a year w, will start next week and next in march "just check it"
I have question here:
What could b possible reasons could stop FED to rise the rate?

There is always argument, and counterargument. Here are few counter hike. I also think numbers coming out of US are overestimated. Its just stats, can be twisted.

I am scalping. I didn't change my view...I said I will long if we get to 1515-20(if the timing is right), just because I want to see 1620, doesn't mean I enter a long at 1619.
