Sorry I had no idea. I don't have proper news listening channels.
A 1 pip gain is better than a 1 pip loss.

I was trading GBPNZD after I got out of my NZDUSD positions. Here is what I've got roughly. And I realized when NZD moves, this pair moves a lot too.

Caught the wheat move. I took a Position in wheat some days ago. Also my sugar position made a big move yesterday. As said above, nearly all commodities are moving down. Lets go and hunt some good downtrends :-)

Commdoities are in stable downtrends but a lots of fx pairs are in consolidations or range markets atm.

Thanks. Sadly I no longer want to share my Trade Explorer here. I have had a great month, seeing over 110% profits. I'm hoping to keep it up for March. Soon I will be able to break even and then trade on the house. I will continue sharing on my journal so more people can learn and become better traders.

Meanwhile in order not to hijack this trade.. Here is something from GBPNZD as an update.

well done on those trades. Missed out on the sugar move because I was being too conservative. Limit sell was not hit. You are right on the commodities front. This is deflation staring us in the face. Well done on those trades.

thanks for those charts. It really highlights deflation. If there is any commodity going up selling will come to them too - cocoa and natural gas take note

Hi Suntrader welcome to this thread. I follow your posts and read them with interest when I come across them. Yes the culprit is the dollar. I think the consolidation in the dollar index will soon end and we could find ourselves in the 105 area. That level will kill everything in sight

This index is roaring to the upside. Perhaps the move out of consolidation is happening...
