other than Merk just a sea of bad earnings news.

huh you can't trade the Kronar (sp?) in FXCM, micro at least.....

it's all I can do to keep track of my live account. My computers are not running that well so running two platforms would be impossible for me righ now.

going to be a tricky week to navigate that is for sure. I hope I have ample time to get ready today.

Oh common we all have a few skeletons in our closet lol. AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH still working on the costume but so much reading to do this weekend. Want to catch up on the goings on in Davos and announcements coming a mile a minute from every corner of the earth about new initiatives to handle the crisis. Drive safe home, hope to see you a little more often round here soon.....

about 40 pips at one point.

yes it could. But if they really juice the pound it may stay fairly static at this point. If they can get the pound back up to 1.44 then the EUR/USD at right around here would put the EUR/GBP at around .90.

there is a very big option expiry tommorow on the EUR/GBP at 88.9 or so. And I keep reading about month end supply on the EUR. I am glad it happened s quickly though I was expecting to maybe have to sit on that short all night to reach where it did so fast. Plus the DOW dropped lower I see.

That will be my next step. Sometimes though I just have to book it because having an open position weighs on you. And I am staring down a deadline with that costume. I want it to be perfect so she feels great in it.

covered my EUR/USD short from 1.3127 at 1.2988. Too soon but hey I'm happy.

thanks for that Kermit!

lol I don't agree trying to find all the pieces of the puzzle of why something is moving the way it is helps in knowing how to play. Plus it is like solving a mystery. Am up nicely now anyway.

getting smoked being short eur/usd since earlier this morning. Why the strength in the EUR and Pound i wonder

it is starting to feel like no one really has any idea what to do and that oodles of money is going to be spent all for nothing. They should have just let everything correct itself maybe.

there are a couple of things I want to do but I don't want to be leaning the wrong way into the Fed release and not be able to get out. I don't trust FXCM even to honor stops if they think they have a good excuse like things were so volatile.....But I think the eur/anything is a better short. It is going to be much harder for them to pull it back together because of the many variables in the member nations. They are going to end up cutting what they should have just around the time inflation starts kicking back in. Unleashing this massive stimulus that they are preparing is going to have that effect. Already even with the huge inventry builds oil has stayed steady today above 40. Granted there was the big 9% move down the last 24-48 hours before that but still....

and I forgot to say Thank you! And this only brings me up to a little more than break even on the week. I am back around the high I reached 3 1/2 weeks ago.

well neither do I normally but I had a feeling the usd/jpy would try and clear .90 and that the eur/usd would give a stab at 1.33 anyway I was hoping for 119.80 or so but it ( the EUR ) just seems so weak. I may re enter.

ok closed out my eur/jpy long for about 230 pips. Was in and out a bit today. Thinking of shorting the EUR/CHF

possibly lol how's that for an answer. Being hemmed at the moment by options expireing around the .8930-40 level I read. The markets are expected to do well today so it could start climbing after 10 am when those options expire. But if we had crystal balls.....

Am I the only one crazy enough to be trading? The board has been s quiet.

is liquidity a problem in these markets? these swings are just nuts.

yeah I had a position earlier from around 116.80 and closed it at 117.25. Then it moved back and forth pretty closely aroung there so I re entered about where I exited and then just sesawed all day. Anyway such a shame I had to sit n my rear all day at home staring at my screen lol The only thing is is this costume I have to work on I can't break away to get that done sufficiently and that needs quite a bit of thought too.

My fortunes have risen and fallen all day being long the EUR/JPY. I am about ready to scream

thoughts on EUR/USD ? thinking about going long here....

the DOW seems to follow the usd/jpy. You could probably make a fortune trading the DIA by watching that pair.

demand for the 2 year treasury auction was very good why is usd/jpy getting killed?

what is going on with the USD/JPY? nothing, nothing is making any sense today.

odd, the markets bounced on the initial news that the stimulus passed committee but then came right back down....

is it me or are the 5 minute swings wild in just about all the major pairs? And I can't help but notice that the usd/jpy is having trouble holding over .89

and just bounced past the days high.

I guess there is some thought that the ECB may cut 50bp. I imagine that they were maybe prepared to do that until the IFO data out of GErmany came in better than expected.

well I had gone long the eur/jpy was up nicely and then boom back to where I started in the blink of an eye. In general though I am sucking wind again this week.

what just happened to the EUR/USD? dropped 50 ticks in about a minute this thing is trading just crazy

after midnight then lol. I expect I will be up. I hope I make some decent money I am in a time crunch with the tutu bodice and made no progress today.

yeah it is just going to take time. There is nothing much you can do about that. And trying too hard may cause other consequences. And yes if inflation kicks because things are getting hot I guess that is when you increase taxes again to pay for all the spending. We are going to be paying the piper a long time for this prolongued excess.

Edit
well that is pretty much what I meant I did say that in another post. Also don't see inflation as a problem. Unless we end up funding the proposed spending through printing money because the far east wont buy any more of our debt.

50K job layoffs announced today I just don't see a fundamental argument for demand increasing in oil, housing

yes because of circumstances that are not likely to change anytime soon. Not saying it wont bounce but until there is commodity demand again the AUD is not going to be hot.

"and long the strongest currencies again" yeah but there is the rub what currencies would that be? England is in deep trouble and so is Europe. Maybe the Swiss Franc?

Edit Kermit just saw your post

any thoughts on EUR/USD I keep thinking that it is just going to crater to the 1.25 range but I seem to be wrong so I keep missing profit opportunities because I think it is going lower.
