{quote} I think it's because commercials nee to take opposite trade to noncommercial in Market Maker system. What we saw yesterday was a stop hunt but another one will come, probably we will see 1.163 again but I doubt in next upside target 1.175
im glad someone here knows how the game is played. but yea i wont be surprised if they wipe out 1.17, theres a large option barrier there about 2billion usd there....
they might hit that and wipe a lot of retail short traders...... but i will look to it as a chance to short at 1.17

sure. tell that to the bucket shop brokers.
tell me why else would brokers give you a 1:400 leverage if they know for a fact that you are going to lose?
because they are behind placing 400 lots against when you place 1 lot long, they would want to drive the market down so their 400 lot makes more. take your puny 1 lot trade off the table so they too can get out of the trade in profit while you lost on your 1 lot long.
and by the way.
the retail positions im not talking about us small retail traders...
im talking about all those Retail fx productsl ike FX structured notes, premium deposits, they all have a targeted strike level. thats how you got option barriers and thats why banks love to move the market to a level with the largest volume option barriers.

Thanks. I understand, that, the overall trend on EURUSD is down and that the big players will eventually head south. The CFTC report shows however the direction, which is probable as an illusive move to make small players take position counter trend, during today. So my conclusion is that CFTC reports should be referred to as a guide for the nearest direction a currency should take, but if this guide is counter trade, then eventually the trend will be followed.

That's wise. Even if you enter a realised pullback too early, than, depending on the depo, you can wait patiently, knowing it will get back with trend. I have too rules, I don't usually break.

1. I trade with the trend
2. I use my depo, so, to allow me withstand over 1000 pips moves.

The EURUSD is up ahead of the ECB and lesser than the forecast amount of the QE can fuel the pair's rally towards 1.1730; however, Draghi is a tough nut to forecast. Fingers Crossed.

the bucket shop brokers are to be found in the category of large speculators, aren't they?

I think they will stick to the leaked 50 bln/month. I'm far more worried about that little things around QE like will Germany or Greece participate, will every nation buy their bonds etc. That can cause panic that will drive euro into the abyss.

Btw average range on eur/usd is usually about 200-300 pips. Stop haunts happen one in two times (!). That means that on very poor QE we can even see 1.2 again.

{quote} the bucket shop brokers are to be found in the category of large speculators, aren't they?
yep

bucket shop brokers are just like the treasury of a bank only thing is treasury of a bank has a much larger pot size to hold onto trades...
but essentially large specs especially the institutional ones are definitely on the other side of a trade against retail positions....
retail positions im not just talking about forex factory type retail traders....
retail positions also includes people who may have bought FX related Structured products, like FX Linked interest notes. FX linked Premium Deposits,
FX digital baskets, FX bull/bear notes. these products are sold to the retail public.

the banks avoid the higher payout to clients on these products. so they drive it towards strike point to make sure if the execution price goes below the strike, the clients would be in loss or at a lower payout.

I agree with your points that say some European nations can disagree to the plan and may fuel uncertainty into the market. Moreover, the stop-haunts are likely to happen with wider margin as Draghi can say something troublesome.

True. He explains things in simple terms for layman like me I am not surprised to see Chicky as author. I hardly understand professionals arguing here on every spike.
