Please explain this view. I don't understand what the fundamentals would be to drive a huge move like that in merely two and a half months? Especially with ECB QE going on and the greek tragedy? (+ let's not forget the adage "sell in May and walk away" )

{quote} Valuations are OK but I'd be more concerned about overall economies if all the financial "tools" being used don't get the desired results. In 2008 interest rates were much higher so keep reducing to help the economy. What can they do now if economies falter again? More money printing? QE forever? Rates to -3%? In the US, more debt now than in 2008 when many were way overleveraged then.

Sell what asset? Dollar or EUR? It is quite late in the hour over here. I will post a few charts tomorrow, this is my view. What I am playing for, not a recommendation like many do around here. It is already in the charts, I see it. I will post with a few fundamental reasons backing it as well, however I am purely technical not a fundie analyst. Without a fed rate hike parity can never happen.

I always here about the EUR / USD fix?
When does this happen? How do I protect against this?
Is it a problem? I'm doing very well but I get so worried when I read these things.....
Are there other times we should be 100% out of the market?

The closing currency “fix” refers to benchmark foreign exchange rates that are set in London at 4 p.m. daily. Known as the WM/Reuters benchmark rates, they are determined on the basis of actual buy and sell transactions conducted by forex traders in the interbank market during a 60-second window (30 seconds either side of 4 p.m.).The benchmark rates for 21 major currencies are based on the median level of all trades that go through in this one-minute period.
The importance of the WM/Reuters benchmark rates lies in the fact that they are used to value trillions of dollars in investments held by pension funds and money managers globally, including more than $3.6 trillion of index funds. Collusion between forex traders to set these rates at artificial levels means that the profits they earn through their actions ultimately comes directly out of investors’ pockets.

"I always here about the EUR / USD fix? When does this happen?"

It happens @4p.m UK time. Unless you are a scalper, there is nothing you should worry about.

The more important time however is 3 pm UK time or in your continent 10:00 am CET, it is the option expiry cut -there is alot of interest 30 mins before and 15 mins after that hour, especially on thursdays.

"How do I protect against this?"

If you have no position you are protected, however if you are holding anything and you are a scalper and you worry about 10-20-30 pips you can just close or become a swing trader of your choice mini short term or very long term. If you are on demo you can come back to this thread and brag about how amazing trader you are, that you started working for an investment bank through your connections and you run a family fund. You can even go the extra mile and claim you have some levels that only you can understand and these levels are so cool that you make 600 pips while risking 2 pips plus the spread of your broker. We will believe you. Nothing to worry. Sleep tight.

I'm not a scalper but I have been taking the advice of some people I met on here. And I has been doing ok.
I have a 12pip risk with each trade. Just trying to time the right entry. Looks like I could get stopped out if I hold over night during the "fix"
I have been trying to just trade the NY open because it seems to move the most... I guess the fix can actually work out to your favor 50 / 50...
Thanks for the reply.

12 pips - I assume your broker is charging you 1.5 or 1.8 pip spread cost - is a very conservative trade setup for a newbie. If you have not mastered trade entry setups, with 12 pips limited risk tolerance, it is likely you will get stopped out most of the time. I use 30 pips with my trades, my entries are not really bright however I take small trades and several ones. Every trade has its own risk and return. Always wait for the end of London first trading hour and trade accordingly for the first trades of the day. Next one comes after the close of 4H bar @10:00 am UK time. The daily trend is usually reversed around 12:00 am UK time before US opens and another trade set up is prepared for US open. I dont trade US sessions as the liquidity disappears and I have no interest to kill myself in front of the screens 24/7.

Really I'm just looking for a turning point where I think it may stop and reverse before the NY open and try to pick a direction I think it is heading. I set the stop at 12pips and the limit at 90pips profit... If it works great, if not I lose 12 pips. I have never held over-night though....
That's why I was researching the fix stuff because I had heard about it in some book.

Happy trading
