Forex rebates on every trade - win or lose!

I'm about, just had people staying on & off so more social than work. Also had sewer,electic, water and road works spanish style outside house for last 3 weeks.... concreting today so hopefully will be finished by the end of week(fat chance), found it quite hard to concentrate with all the noise.

Interesting because have been trading a bit longer term as cant sit infront of computer as much as normal. Got one trade on eur/usd from last wk @ 1.3810, took some money out of it friday and just watching it go down. Missed getting in on the pound last week. eur & gbp look very negative on the daily charts and chf is also looking weaker against dollar.
Also watching nzd/usd as interesting chart on daily - hitting previous low from may where theres also some major fib levels and also a rising trendline from june 2006. Sorry unable to post chart as unable

I see the Green Fairy's been cracking jokes in my absinth. Which reminds me - Is it true that French women hold their liquor by the ears?

:o)

I've been visiting friends that I don't get to see very often these last few weeks. I now need a holiday, so am off to the South of France for a couple of weeks on Friday. Back at the beginning of September, so la F Verte will have to hold the fort till then.

those figures this am really taking the rug from under Cable...

h - only if they're bald. a couple bottles of absynth turned up at my sons 21st party last year. someone who had toomany shots of it was sick, a week later there was a big dead patch in the lawn!

See gbp & eur still falling nicely

Here you go - just for you foale ;)

Ma che Chocolat, it's really delightful to see your downslopey thingies, not to mention your upslopey support (God, I could do with one of those) in such fine fettle after your recent absinthe.

And you've got Cable to fall below $2.

Talk soon :)

MM (aka la F Verte)

I think it might be helpful if you guys were to pull up a 3 year daily USDX chart to help understand what's going on here. Although cable and fiber pushed to 26 year highs recently, USDX at the time barely breached the low from 31st Dec 2004 so that, imo, can be considered as very strong support. On the other side of the coin, there is a mega downward slopey doodaa from November 2005 which is providing resistance to the Dollar at around 82.2 or 82.3.

Something's going to give over the next few days or weeks. I don't know which way it'll go, but it's my guess that it'll set the tone for the next 12 months or more.

Shorter term, it's my guess that there's more upside to the Dollar and we'll see the downward doodaa tested.

GBP / Yen 229-230 might be a good long entry area for the brave.

f.........especially if you look at the daily candles!

Looked to short usd/chf this morning, put an order in at 1.2200, but hasn't gone back up there........yet

feel we are due a bit of a correction, still holding my eur short

GBP / Yen 229 almost ..Wondering if that was the low...

EDIT: it wasn't :-(

WOW.......

Indexes sedate compared to Forex

USD / Yen ranging 300 pips

GBP / Yen ranging nearly 700 pips

gbp/ jpy 224

usd / JPY 113

who would have thought it 24 hours ago...

Well, what a day !

Peru earthquake, FTSE down over 4%, hundreds of pips move on the yen crosses, Dean upgraded to hurricane status, Moody's indicating the possibility of a large hedge fund collapse and now a tsunami alert for Japan's Pacific coast.

What next !

It's armageddon time....... :-)

cable (temporary) bottom or only getting back as high as 9770/80?

Hils / Choccy 0.5% cut in discount rate....your thoughts?

Seems to be a bigger move in the equity markets...rather than forex...
Lifted gbp off its lows....

If the us had done nothing but instead uk raised rates 0.5%...ie same differential..
we would be over $2...

OK folks, next week's Interactive Events Calendar posted.

All the little mini charts have been stuck for a few days. Anyone know why? I quite like them.

SC: Actually, it's not all of them, looks like its just the 5 minute EURUSD and GBPUSD. Judging by the flatlines on the other 5 min charts, there may be some technical problems back at Forexnews.com from whence these charts are sourced.
