Well, could be a bit risky overnight but I've place orders to open buys - to be triggered @ 690, 680 and 670 ...... was going to stay up and play whilst watching the Superbowl but think I'll watch it in bed - SB - not cable ;)

Not around most of the early part of next week so I may well pull them if I wake up to find them way off the money.

mng all

Morning all, morning Mos, anyone else here?

Morning all

Morning all no positions yet.

mng all sorry bit tied up in EMI, got no pos yet,greenspan speaking on fri put the cat amgnst the pid`s...iam flat @ mom feel any usd strenght will fizzle out over the nxt couple of days..looks like fx mrkt trying to get to grips with these moves which happened after ldn closed, feel we cud see a bit more usd strenght then as above will fizzle out...

Nothong triggered - off out so will leave them all there - waiting ;)

yep calm before the storm mg.....
feel a lot of traders caught between buy usd on the back of this move and the longer term view that usd still keeps on going down.. think greenspans comments caught people a bit flatfooted..

Mine's still on too, mg - thing, that is.

long stg @ 90

Just had a sneak look in to see where we are - 80 and 90 have fired - hoping the 70 doesn't as well.

choccy
Good to hear you've still got your thong on - I should hope so to ;)

commando mg

mg afternoon ..saw ur things get triggered sld my stg@ 25

been top last few hours but 80/90 was tested about 4 times b4 we eventually broke higher

cheers mos - doesn't look very happy - but we need to see where the US is going - can they afford to keep on buying those dollars? ;)

i think shrt term ..greenspan comments underpinning it,but i think he gets a lot more credit tha is desevered...

My long triggered this am too - took 30 off that and couldn't resist a short at 18705. Plan is to reverse any time soon.

choc:)

Long @ 61, stop @ 46

Oops

20/30 looking favourable
