Forex rebates on every trade - win or lose!

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

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 $?

Hil: Anybody in?

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

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.">

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.

As you can imagine, this action is extremely bearish for Gold itself:

Hello moonie. I'll not be around for a week or two but I'll be back on the thread soon.

hello hilary...ok ..

Alan Greenspan Speaks! Wednesday - Jul 21, 2004

10:00 AM ET : Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan to testify on monetary policy before the House Financial Services Committee, in Washington .

Speech Highlights: Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan is scheduled to present the second half of his second monetary policy report to Congress (the first was delivered in February). He addresses the House Financial Services Committee at 10:00 AM. Usually, the delivery on the second day is identical to the first, unless the Fed chairman believes that the financial markets misinterpreted him. The Q&A may also yield different comments.

I trade Forex most days, though only in small amounts, with varying degrees of success. Obviously I like the long, steady trends, but they've been absent lately. But I like to look at this thread in the evenings, so am bringing it to the top.
