Seems Oanda is still havin the boot bug....this is really gettin old now. Over the wknd it's..no big-e...but during mrkt hrs takes much of the fun out of it. Tphhfffttt!!!
& considering present US interest rate fundimentals, all cross US pr's could be seeing more downward pressure in genl.
& imo the greenback wont begin a true longer trend recovery/reversal until Helo-Ben is done choppin.....at least another q or 2 out.
Lookin to short the dollar this week & next as there will be some decent Fed drama goin on.
help_me
a few ?'s
are trailing stops offered?
what's the minimum opening acct bal?
& how does taransfer of funds work....fees, timing, etc.
looks interesting....BOL w/it.
TIA!!
Trust me....if Paul got in....he'd have ta be controlled by $$$$...otherwise as mentioned he'd be whacked faster than he could raise his hand to take the Oath.
& here in Cali when the governator ran...one of his main selling points he spent a ton of $$$ on w/his ad campaign was that he could not be bought w/$$$. & a few yrs later now what do we see....the $$$ he follows. But I will give him this....I still agree in that he can't be bought w/$$$..he doesn't need'em...a fact that will always be true....he just chooses accept'em....wadda joke.
But what's really helping him out is that the former gov Grey Davis was sooo inept & lost ALL our reserves (& then some) that pretty much no one else could ever look nearly as bad....not even Arny :0
Indeed....our political ways need a major overhaul....which will most likely never happen...so I'll just keep runnin round the ol' habitrail wheel while tryin to do all that I can to change things.
The Feline for Pres!!
fear indeed....the "man" has gotta keep us down so we don't take all his power away....'nuff said.
Tho I sure wish we Yanks would exercise our voting rights in much higher #'s...if anything oudda respect for those who fought so hard to get us those rights. Sure hope the young vote continues to show up as they've recently done...a positive sign of the tide beg to change.....& here's to the follow thru.
A happy rehab Mon to all. :0
Dow Futures down 52 @ 00:28 est...
& w/all the talk of Helicopter Boy possibly hackin rates
(& maybe even before the next Pow Wow) it's awfully hard here to go long the greenback....even tho most of the charts wanna point ya in that direction.
Still lookin to short it I suppose wherever I can....tho thus far it seems like a quiet nite/early am...might be best to just take a lil breather & walk away for a few days....focus on the pigskin spreads & try & bank some wknd walkin 'round the strip $$$.
All I'm thinken so far is NYG +7.5....this just might finally be the coming of lil bro Manning??? & possibly the SD/Indy under @ 46...tho I hate takin unders in the post season as the majority of the time the overs hit during the post season.
OK...enuff digression....punchin out...l8tr.
Cheers!!
& I missed that usd/chf short....too busy gettin ready to leave manana....my trading is done for the week....maybe a few quick scalps later on tonight if things heat up a bit in a few hrs.
Otherwise....enjoy your wknd all & this will serve as your last invite to the top of the Rio tomorrow night...1st round on me...I'll be the one under the tables :0
Cheers!!
Well at least the bull is chasin ya & not the bear :0
Yeah...about as fast as I go into full swing mode I gotta step away once again.
GL w/the rest of your finals....sounds like you're almost threw'em all ;))
Lastly...havin a bit of trouble w/locating a link to where the intrest rate cut consensus is....thought that was gonna be an e z 1.....not 4 me I suppose :0
Cheers!!
& for the record....what I think I'm attempting to do is somethin a lil similar to the pip gap strategy. The difference here is that I'm not really trading gaps as they were, just fast & heavy spikes that easily break thru short term resistance.
I try & wait for a 2-3 min stall & if it begins to tail down I buy...a dangerous thing I realize as it could jus be takin a breather....for which if so, I'll short it a bit some more as it rises 10 or more pips away from me.
Typically, eventually w/in a few hrs (or less if I hit it) it will comeback for me & re correct....& I'm not lookin for all too much...as mentioned....20-30 pips or therabouts.
In full swing here....short aud/usd @ 8963
short cable 1.9627...just broke threw 8 hr resistence....is the trend my friend?....sure hope not :0
lookin for my usual ave of 25-30.
Sometimes...lol
Aint that the truth...the real stuff happens when we are away rechargin...especially for me here on the pst dial.
Havin a good one so far....good thing too cuz it's my last real "full" day on the week...in transit manana for a lil Fear & Loathing wknd.....anyone ever see that one...a Deep classic imo.
At any rate....jus unloaded both aud/usd longs I took 2.5 hrs ago for 22 & 29 pips on the monthly...which by far is my top sub acct thus far on the month...I'm using 3 of'em now since Carrie must go on a gold diet.....thus she's not been doin quite as well oudda the gates this go around....still up by jus a few ticks is all.
Wonder what the consensus is now for a 1/2 pt chop?
My guess is 50-50....1 of u Guru's amongst us has gotta have the link that tracks the consensus for the upcoming fmoc meeting.
If not, I'll goog it later this afternoon.
& should this next cut be the catalyst to bust gold thru the 900 door? Gonna go buy that now on another sub acct of mine....Carrie's gonna be jealous :0
Well that was a quick turn w/the short usd/cad....& once again a t'stop woulda come in quite handy as it is now fallin off the ledge & continues to do so...think I've now missed out on an added 30-40 pips....Grrrr!!!!
At least I appear to be readin the charts right.
I also added a 2nd lot to it as it went oudda my favor by 10 pips or so righ oudda the gates so that sure helped.
I also took a cable long at 1.9556 & it already hit the tp @ 1.9581...not a bad way to start off the AM....& Ben just announced he will be cutting again....so why is the greeenback now in rally mode here...head fake perhaps?
Time for a lil B'fast.
Hey JRB...hope you had a fairly decent sl set there cuz it looks like after goin in fo'mo it went south on ya....BUT now you'd be lookin sweet up another 20-30 pips....me thinks you held it threw the uglyness & persevered...here's hopin...& if so....very nice.
As for me....right now me thinks I'll roll the dice on that one & short it here @ 1.0139....it has continued to run north (I want south..lol) on me in the 1st few mins...but it sure looks to me as if the chart is screamin for a 20-30 pip retrace....down close to where you added last night around 11:30p pst....thus, I hope you got out w/a nice profit so we aint butt'n noggins this AM
How'd it do? Looks like if ya got in near the time of your post & were able to bail w/in 90 mins +/- you did fine.....othwerwise if u were lookin for more & still hangin on you still have a lil mo'work ahead.
Was happy w/my overnight usd/chf short...& once again from the looks of it I woulda done far better as I only captured approx a lil less than 1/2 of the move. Was in @ 1.1155 & out @ 1.1122...& it went all the way down to the 1.1106 neighborhood.
Once I begin this live I'm gonna haveta find me a broker who offers trailing stops....Help_Me....you out there readin this? lol
& a very good AM 2 all.
No wonder all my greenback shorts just hit their tp's...'cept for 1 last one....jus a few pips away now on my last cable short...lookin to bail there @ 1.9550...only about 8 away now.
& jus in time for the sack....shapin up to be yet another short greenback day I guess.
Why are u now goin even longer on your usd/cad if the futures are tankin?
I'm now thinken about goin to bed takin a short usd/chf here jus cuz the futures are fallin like a rock.
Ni Tzzzzzzzzz gentz....I'm punchin out.
Cheers!!
just clsoed out the aud/usd short for 25 pips.....still doin battle w/the short cable here....up jus a few there from an entry ave of 1.9569
from +3 to -19 in an hr or so..don't look now/eom
& all that's missen there was the audio clip to "Ben" ;)~
Almost time to step away here....& jus a few hrs prior to all the real action too....if I ever decided to pursue this for a living I'd def have to turn nocturnal....which really wouldn't bother me at all.
Shouldn't be hard for you at all....then again, how would a cat eat w/out bein near the rat race?
Just curious...do you trade it live....if not & u r that good @ it....why not?
How about this.....if you cant find it stated for the yrly...then no harm no foul...just impose it going forward..I have no prob w/that. I dont think it was ever stated as a no no for the yrly.
As for Carrie.....at this stage it really makes no diff as I do believe she's net negative on gold thus far.
& I best not lose a timeout..lol.
In the meantime...we'll break for our sponsers...
Dow futures up...albeit by a mere 3
http://www.bloomberg.com/markets/stocks/futures.html
& now back to our game.....
Well if ya wanna get technical....the word as I understood it was....not the monthly...but there was no talk about that w/re to the yrly :0
Carrie is throwin the flag out for a coaches challenge...lol
Hey...is gold off limits for the yrly too?...
Carrie has a thang for da bling ya know.
Gonna gamble a bit w/the cable here & go short @ 1.9560 goin into the announcement.
My thinken....the trend to the south continues for a reason...perhaps some know or expect a cut coming.
Tho lookin at the chart it sure makes me wanna go long....jus hopin the chart in this range is a head fake for a long.
We'll see who gets faked :0
Also short aud/usd right now @ .8843...up a few pips now.
Carrie....
u should c me in pumps :0
& 1 other thing I've noticed w/re to Oanda....they aint updating the comp stats as quickly as they were.
The monthly still has the 1/8 #'s & the yrly was updated well after this past midnite...at least at 9a pst the yrly wasn't updated....but now I see it is.
Somethin def aint right.
I think both the Ihub & Oanda snafu's are simply a covert op that the housewives have schemed against us.
Will you accept a paw print for a sig?
It's good 2 b the house...
so tell me why it is I'm goin to Vegas this wknd?
Oh, right...this'll be the time I bring down the house :0
I just got back on.....but I'm expectin it to give me apporx 10 mins b4 buggin on me.
I gotta assume they are workin on the demo side & perhaps havin their servers do sweeps every so often to keep usage to a minimum as they try to work on stuff....jus a hunch...but whatever the reason....sure sux.
aint that the truth....w/lil time I have to do this (especially this week) it's killen me.....it's been a real light trading week thus far for me b/cuz of this.
As the lion says....Grrrrrrr!!!
You must be good @ Monopoly too/eom
Perhaps we were both a lil toxic :0
Coulda very well been you told me 20-1 leverage to begin with....but I'll say this....I make 5 trades & I'm all tapped out...lol
Very much like hard money lenders/eom
I have 60K to the feline in the front row....
do I hear 65....goin once...
