With china markets closed I'd guess trendless currency markets.
Under normal conditions I'd prefer the short side as long as price below 1.1250.
Probably wrong but that's my guess.

Can't start my own thread, so Ill just ask here! Just starting out guys and Im confused on something. If I short 2.00 lots at ex: 1.12077 on EURUSD... Why is it that once the price falls below my sell i still dont make profit till several more pips down? Im not seeing commission or anything so I do not see why I am not making profit. Even when I drag my SL and TP lines from the trade line, its not in correlation to the price I'm seeing down in my profit box. Thanks a ton, Matt

Agree. Heavy to the downside and equity market is in spending mode in the absence of China

Since AUD has dropped so much recently, should there still be much downside left? I'm thinking specifically about the numbers coming out in a few minutes. IF they're bad, will the drop be lessened a bit since price is already so low?... Or maybe just the opposite.... causes it to plummet?

Yeah, I figured it would have an effect, it's just I was wondering whether any negative impact would be a bit muted because we were already so low. (And so far, yeah, looks like the even .70 is holding)

(edit: HA! When I wrote my comment, I hadn't seen YOUR edit where you also used the word "mute". Not a word I use every day, so that's just weird )

Because there's spread - Difference between ask and bid price.

For example:

You short from 1.12077 - to see profit, the ask price must below 1.12077

Ask 1.12087
Bid 1.12067 - you still in loss 1 pip

Ask 1.12057
Bid 1.12047 - you are in profit 2 pips

Ask 1.12057
Bid 1.12087 - profit 2 pips (positive slippage)

And just to add what Ken said re. the spread... I hope your statement about you "still don't make profit till several more pips down" is just a figure of speech. The "several more pips" part, I mean. Because for a E/U trade, the spread should be pretty small, I think most brokers it's 1 or 2 pips, usually even less. (Not counting during unusual times, like big news releases, of course)

{quote} this london roll above 1230 is more bullish. going to 1282 has better odds. than if roll was below now. some R 1257.7
london close was above 1230,, ny below 1230.. at odds so for. its still within 1280 bounce but the days are dropping in close levels. ny didnt respect 1230 last weeks london close. in a few hours london opens again. 1280 has its 150% mark at 1203.3. so far it didn't have that pre nfp pump spark i was hoping for. a close above 1225 and 1230. would give bulls some hope. atm 1209 ish doing its thing.. atm china is holding its levels, but it has a LL and lower high after the initial HH.. it needs a st new high (chart)
.. on the month eu made a HH with a higher close. second quarter has a higher close than the first. on the week it has HH and HL.. expecting a change, but no longer just selling bounces. since 17xx the st after has several LH and LL..

next LL would have to be -1179 or -1155. the st ones within 17xx and 1155..within them w/o those lows breaking 1313 or 133x are what a bear dont want to see. w/o any fundees it looks bullish with HH and LL this year atm. it may change, but w/o those st LL.. plus 1209 is a critical place also
