I'm still sulking coz i failed to get in at 180.90ish a couple of weeks ago,
i was very confident of this rise - even posted it on here.
too much of a muppet to trade it though - even now waiting for the pull back that looks like it will never come.
might end up asking that bird from mizuho to marry me !

Hil: While you, Beebs, that Big AL and myself are around this will keep going.

D.
PS: The clock on your crystal ball is slow.

Does that mean I've been rumbled? More like Sceptic Peg than Mystic Meg.

:o)

Big Al - 08 Jul 2004 15:21 - 1834 of 11056

Hil - must agree, hence my reluctance to get involved in FX. My only option for now would be spreadbetting and I'm not overly keen to leave my dosh at the mercy of the likes of CMC.

Either that or it's my shy, reserved personality. ;-))

Continuing to watch, though.

Cloggs - 08 Jul 2004 15:47 - 1835 of 11056

I am still here on the odd occasion still learning, still loosing but not quite as much, very wide stops though, long at present.

Maggot - 08 Jul 2004 16:53 - 1836 of 11056

I visit this thread most days when I trade but my bets are very small; though I tend to win. Had a nice +75 yesterday on Cable. But wasn't on the computer early enough today to catch the rise. However I learn quite a lot from this thread, thanks mainly to Hilary (we met at Croc's funeral, Hilary). I like the fact that for hours on end the currencies trade in ranges.

Currently having trouble with AOL broadband every afternoon - having to log on every 5-10 minutes. Guess it's to do with kids playing computer games.

hilary - 08 Jul 2004 17:10 - 1837 of 11056

I think that you must be confusing me with somebody else, Maggot. I wasn't at croc's funeral.

Glad that you find the thread useful though.

hodgins - 08 Jul 2004 21:41 - 1838 of 11056

Thoroughly enjoy the thread. Still learning but learnt a lot.
Small positions, wide stops, limits taken gladly and sometimes a variety of time frames with different spreadbetters on same instrument thus far puts me usefully ahead.
Right now the Euro is a (short term) sell back under 1.24 or the Pound has become a buy again back above 1.85 after dropping off in the last few hours but heck I can't sit here all day or all night.

hilary - 09 Jul 2004 07:49 - 1839 of 11056

Watch your 5-minute price bars. There should be a window to long Dollar coming up pretty soon. Imo of course.

hodgins - 09 Jul 2004 08:21 - 1840 of 11056

8.30 data may help propel it.

hilary - 09 Jul 2004 08:26 - 1841 of 11056

Cable and Euro lagging, but it doesn't need propelling against the Swiss. 40 pips so far.

hodgins - 09 Jul 2004 11:21 - 1842 of 11056

All roads lead to 1.85 on the hourlies.
Influence of 3/4PM daily/weekly squaring.
Upside still favoured.
Heading out on the bike now.

Hello All,

Hope the weekend goes well...

Ive been looking at lots of pairs the past few weeks. Its strange but all the pairs have like a personality.. They behave differently.. Very cool to start noticing.

Im Bull on the $ across 6 Currencies.. Im looking to start building up some strong postions.. Trying a different style of trading more building up a postion and exiting slowly.. seems to be working ok...

Any one views of Gold? and $?

MightyMicro - 12 Jul 2004 15:21 - 1844 of 11056

Hil: Anybody in?

rpaco - 14 Jul 2004 15:54 - 1845 of 11056

It's very quiet. long on cable. Sorry if I woke anyone up.

Maggot - 15 Jul 2004 11:16 - 1846 of 11056

Hilary - it must have been someone else - perhaps Hilary9 - at Croc's funeral - sorry!

Saxobank still definitely looking for the dollar to drop, but it obviously doesn't visit their website.

hello hilary good thread

[August Gold] remained in a relatively tight $8.00 range this week, closing near the high end of the range, but nonetheless down just over $1.00 for the week. I wish I have a new and exciting piece of information to impart to you tonight with respect to golds potential, but instead, the same trends are intact that weve been discussing for well over a week. Gold is in the process of finishing up the final subdivisions of Intermediate wave (2) up from the May 10 low ($372.50). Because prices have yet to break under $389, which would confirm the onset of wave (3) down, we still have to allow for the possibility that a push up into the $410-$420 resistance area will develop prior to the next leg of the bear trend. Upside momentum continues to slow and bullish sentiment remains near the top end of the range that has coincided with rally peaks. Our stance remains that the next $50 move will be down. Only a push above the $433.00 peak would require us to reassess the wave pattern.<img src=">

moonblue - 17 Jul 2004 13:59 - 1849 of 11056

The [U.S. Dollar Index] dropped beneath 87.15 today (Jul. 12 low) negating the near-term bullish potential. The index never was able to capitalize on the initial rally off Mondays low. Todays decline has drawn prices to near the 87.02 low of April 1, which is the next support. But todays break down also raises the odds considerably that lower support of 86.17-86.58 may be tested prior to a wave (X) or (B) low (the labels mean the same thing). The 10-day Daily Sentiment index was at 13.1% dollar bulls at the February low (MBH Commodity Advisors, 847-446-0800). Today the 10-day Sentiment index is at 14.7% bulls. There is no rule that says bullish sentiment cannot shrink even further, but it is in the area for a bottom right now. As soon as we can identify the end to the current selloff, we will discuss it here. Our intermediate-term forecast for a push up into the 98.50-103.00 has not changed at all.
It is the same story for the [Euro] as it is for the dollar index, but in reverse. Todays rally opens the potential for a push toward 1.2480, the 61.8% retracement of the decline from the February peak. The 78.6% retracement is 1.2676. You can see from the chart that bullish sentiment is steadily increasing to the extremes reached at past highs. As soon as we can identify the end of the countertrend rally, we will take a more forceful short-term stand. For now the uptrend has regained some short-term legs.
