be+1 now. Yeah meant 0950. Actually it's futures so there is some diff in price but same structure. My mt4 is stuck - can't run - so I can't check the spot price to tell you where I bought there. ok, found it, buy was at 43-44. {image}
can I ask...who did you choose to trade with and what's the day trade margin

this is getting juicy. I think whoever shorted at 70 was basically a huge seller faking it to get more underneath...

basic move is looking like day before yesterday only more volatile because of hike RUMORS by investment banks...fed is not that stupid to give out news so easily right now, and definitely not for retail announcement from a French bank.

Also don't think that they will raise by 25bp if they do. 25bp is a TECTONIC shift in one go as far as the global economy goes...EUROPE is at negative and Japan is near 0.

if they raise dec/jan it will be 10p at first IMO, unless there is some rule/law that says the min is 25bp. Even at 10bp a lot of eur and yen will float into USD

global economy is much more connected now than it was back in greenspan days and yellen is conservative. that's her trademark.

You're in the trade so stick with it with conviction or get out.

You were in doubt and had a chance to take it off

This is the advantage of trading with limit orders.

Short at market and you would have been already stopped.

pip Perfect entries are rare.

that should be called 962 or 62.5 or if you are going to use 3 digits otherwise the full or 5

New bounce from 60.5 next through 75 again and onto 90 and above and then the meat of this move begins...it's just forming a base right now. It will probably continue to go up until 1 day or 1/2 day prior to next weeks actual announcement, unless there is a hike in the overnight borrowing rate or unseen event over the weekend.
