Hi!

>There you can see the statistics + can change M5/1H/Daily to track Long:Short ratio

Note: it's reflecting the ForexFactroy's traders, not the global FX market conditions (but in my opinion...gives you a hint which way to seek technical patterns...but have to measure the good time frame either...hope it helps)

{quote} and it does worth it? with the rollovers and everything?...
Yes. It is part of a system that requires keeping them until certain time / price level. It won't make a difference if I close it, but I use it as a benchmark. After all there was a reason to take this long at this level.

{quote} What does it mean? what do you do with that? ...According to those numbers short are in average -120 ticks underwater and longs are also -120 ticks underwater..basically in AVERAGE everybody is a loser in FF (well that probably may not be off the mark in general for micro retail trading). Apparently also everybody is a swinger here too as the average trade is 11 WEEKS !!! and 3 weeks!!!....and if you dig a bit deeper most of the non-private traders are both sitting [stupidly] in both sides "hedging" (big lol) longs from 1.34xx ??? or shorts...
Maybe rubbish, maybe not, but I'm sure everybody heard "90% of retail Forex traders lose money"...or something similar...
well, at the end of Jan the ratio was somewhere
1long:10short 'Lot'
long avg at ~ 1.16 : short avg at ~ 1.13

Perhaps FF traders are a little more educated, and more representative of the 10℅?

Lets say all this Greek trouble resolves itself - isn't EU still forecast to fall? Has the ECB started "printing" money yet? Won't that impact on the price?

Technicals aside, I think fundamentally EU is still going to go down longer term.

I'd appreciate others thoughts on the longer-term outlook.

Well, that echoes my thoughts.. The Euro situation coupled with a 'hawkish' US eventually means a downtrend is inevitable in the long run.
Question is how long that run will be..

This is precisely the reason why I am bearish in EUR/USD for the mid to long term. ECB is printing money on the heels of an impending Fed rate hike. Regardless of what happens with Greece the Euro will see new lows within the year.

There was a time, when I was thinking the same, but .
Ok, maybe there is a better ratio on FF, but lets face it, it's not a selected elit FX commando team.

i would go out on a limb and say "all traders big or small lose money including central banks".. no one is special. its all about the timing, of what part of the cycle the survey is done...

he he you must know FOREX always been manipulated and only a hand full of fat guy make ton of money cause they know when the market going to move cause they are the one moving it , but we do not know the only option are to try to figure out when the fat guy going to make they move but before they will move the market in the same way if you where going fishing you have a bait then play with the fish then maybe if you are lucky you may catch the big one.

Dunno mate. Think we could buy some to push it? Daily closed quite fine

edit: On the other case, was more of rumour move, so lots space imo to correct move to 1,526.
edit: Mate, due to Oil and Stocks move, have covered myself into GUs longs: short - mid term. What a nice hedge for me intraday. UJ cleared half of my entries today, lucky GU entries negged the intraday move.

not sure right now, prefer to wait out 5413, its quite an important level
geppy (yen) played silly buggers this morning and now right back to ground zero for another attack, if bulls succeed we could see 187 20

ptl mentioned a level last night on cable 5342ish and I had a level around there but couldnt remember why I put it there, my levels are hardcopy, which I have left at the bach, it could be a really old level not sure, anyways just scanning pa, she did test from below, then pop thru and retest from above before pushing on to 5413 neat as a pin, I might make that my 1st marker for a pull back, and then the daily 50sma which aligns with the big daily falling UTL breach that is still to be retested also,

so for now, pb 5400 squeezed a few with sl and watch and wait especially geppy

bro its Friday 13th my lucky day

ps went quite posting last night when so many were trying to buy usd with such shitty data, not recommended, much better to wait patience until dust clears, goota go asuuie blabber mouth on wires

Both starting to bounce.

How go your Aussie rumours? Am still afraid to enter that pair and waiting. Not like those chop moves :/.
