Yeah that's the rule, specially for the 99
There is no magic trick that can change that fact,
We has to know how much risk we can safely handle as well as when to quit.

The Fed will release the minutes from the April 29 meeting.
The statement at that time was thought to be more dovish.

The EURUSD on that day rose into the decision, sold off after but continued the rally over the next few days.
The pair was at 1.1149 just before the decision - not too far from the current level.

Hello from London.
I thought I'd share my chart on EUR/USD as my first post on FF, to contribute to the discussion.

I am more interested in buying in the lowest of the blue zones. I am seeing some interesting confluence on that level. The level 1.0845-50 is also very interesting. Earlier today, it seems that we broke out of a tight bearish flag, and the projection of the move is for another ~350 pips down from the top of the flag to around 1.0800


When/if the Euro reaches my zones of interest, which are the last two blue zones from the bottom, I will check on what other major pairs are doing (for confirmation) and the time of the day (I would prefer to see it hit those zones when both NY and LDN are online) and seek to take a long.

btw, anyone hear of anyone in the media, thinking the fed will change the view toward raise timing? personally i have not, heard many thinking a raise before mostly Sept or later. does that make September or later priced in? if its priced in, should a repeat of whats expected move the usd much? what happens if the unexpected happens, along with normal 096x and 0786.. even if usd bearish it may bounce then drop.. any june hint and 047x gets a visit

Hey Gator,

I think a large part of the investor and trader community (meaning the big traders, hedge funds, major banks and insurers etc) have for a long time now been very skeptical about any FED raise this year, let alone in June. This may not have received as much focus in the media until recently, but I remember some months ago coming across various interviews of this or that economist or money manager on outfits such as Bloomberg, were some were of the opinion that the FED wouldn't raise. As an economist myself, I must say that I agree with this view and I do not think it is a very heretic view. It is clear that the economy is weak , aggregate demand is weak, uncertainties abound (Greece, China etc) and therefore a raise would now risk doing more bad than good.
I think it may be a bigger surprise if the FED actually raises rates, even more so if it does so in the summer. If, on the other hand, they came out and said "you know what, we were wrong. It is not time to raise 'em yet. Let's wait until the end of the year and see" - I think this outcome is baked in already and is unlikely to be the 1000-pip-move maker. I hope this helps

most of us are arrogant or liars (some both). one arrogant person calling another arrogant. its a traders personality to be arrogant, just like a cop, fighter pilot etc. one arrogant scolds another, then the table turns. if u have a problem eating a shit sandwich w/o the bread, dont serve them. cause eventually that person will serve u one.
