You never heard of Prime Brokers???? Are you seriously trying to imply that professional FX players route thru retail??? I'd go get yourself a little education & try utilizing more than one cell inside that brain of yours mister before making a complete ass of yourself in public.

:o :rofl: :haha: Oh deary me, please someone help me up off the floor, my stomach is about fit to bust... I can't wait till Andre wanders onto this post I really can't. You best get your best flak jacket dusted off mister. :o :o on 2nd thoughts...Mods? why don't you simply delete this jokers comments - it might save you an awful lot of hassle down the line!

It’s the Dollar Index Aaron. A measure of $U.S performance v/s a basket of core constituents of which Euro accounts for approx 55%. Good to hear you’re making formidable progress out there, great stuff! .

If you’re talking liquidity, spreads/costs & shipping thru retail, then the $INDEX main constituents will generally keep you safe: EURUSD USDJPY GBPUSD (in that order) Popular pairs out there would also fall under: USDCHF USDCAD AUDUSD EURGBP You then got the cross instrument combination pairs which make up the Euro….British Pound….Jap Yen….Swissy etc Ie: GBPJPY GBPCHF EURJPY EURCHF etc etc……… Again, depending who you use & their spread/size/cost deals, will impact on your aims & trade strategy intent. If you’re in doubt regards costs, liquidity, key time zone exposure, sizings etc on your chosen instrument(s), just talk to your brokers & tell them what you’re looking to do. If it’s a half decent shop they’ll have switched on reps available to talk you thru your objectives

Keatings comments (re; banana republic) over the wires y’day didn’t help the Oz gain a footing up there at all. Asian demand jitters weighing on $AUD too. That big level (.7250-.7320) is certainly a ‘sellers’ hitting zone with the risk on-risk off switch working overtime. Similar theme across the board at respective zones too really. (larger) participants pulling the plug & reducing/cashing out positional size earlier than normal will likely increase volatility into year end as liquidity conditions thin out all the way thru the ranks. It’s becoming soggy & sludgy out there. Early Xmas jollies on the cards folks!! Yaaaay. Hey Andre, re: your "wild assed women" jibe Read & weep my i.q challenged friend & colleague!! http://www.phoenixvillenews.com/site/news.cfm?newsid=20163129&BRD=1673&PAG=461&dept_id=635495&rfi=6

Aaron, He won’t be active on here during normal business hours. He has school to attend & home study work to undertake before his Mom will allow him to strut his stuff. If he’s completed his workload then he can post before heading off in the a.m & again for an hour or so when he’s wrapped his study modules for the day. If you pull up a 60m & 15m combination chart & plot the vibrations off that 6320 floor he put a marker thru what do you see? The next level is/was .7000-20 as you rightly observed, which coincides with yesterdays high zone. What occurred this morning around there? Notice any price action behavior that might have triggered an entry at the base of that p/b? Doesn't matter if it blows straight thru it or not does it? you're either going to have a very definite set-up/trigger to take it on at the pullback or the initial breakout, or the secondary pullback etc. If you think the action is headed on full throttle then you might choose to lob a feeder stake out to test the momentum/flows. If it pulls back & chops away again, you can add to the move. And you can continue to aggregate your position on any future pullback or test of demand. If it fades or washes out, nothing lost - just an opportunity. These markets (under current circumstances) are cooking on risk. You won't get the leisurely opportunities to avail yourself of breakout-pullback entries as often as you would in more orderly market conditions. You need to structure your plan according to the conditions & maybe tweak your money & risk management play to step in & take a swipe at these momentum plays

The times she mentioned are the engine room of the days activity for sure Aaron. If you’re primarily engaged in intra-day plays then that timeframe will be somewhat influential in your decision making. If you’re still utilizing vsa? then like she said, you’d be prudent to focus on the times where the participation/volume is in full flow. I'm not trying to hedge or parry your questions, but each person see's things very different from the next one. And most of the decisions, bias & focus usually revolve around the strategies & set-ups utilized. Andre rolls most his stuff over wherever possible. He rarely participates in intra-day visits to the markets, certainly not as an intentioned play. So his primary focus, strategies & influences will be different to someone adopting a more short-term view of the market. What you really need to do is suck it & see. It would be bad form for me or anyone else to influence or deflect you from researching a particular pair or specific time-zone. What suits your style won’t suit mine & vice versa. You'll soon get a handle on what works (suited to your style) & what doesn't once you attempt to get to work on a pair around differing conditions.

Please don't go wishing him out of hibernation Blowfish. We just got him weaned off raw meat & bedded down safely in his pen.

Yeah, all sorts of hoo haa playing out today huh? The buck getting spanked good & proper. Freddie & Fannie not helping the late week surge. They'll have been a few folks hiding under the desk the past couple days no doubt.

Krantz know you're running around bullying the nice guy's? He's done paying your fines on here for one month :o I'd sneak out the back door & bolt for the bar while his att'n is elsewhere if I were you!!

Duly noted.

She is indeed torero. Apparently there's another one (Tess) waiting in the wings too. Think I'll arrange a jawbone gig with Soultrader & plump for a hostile buy-out play :o

You'd hit it off well with our Poppa then. I'm certain that old poop goes out of his way to ratchet a contrarian angle every chance he gets That AUDCHF is a very neat technical play indeed. I guess you been running it from last week? Nice shift thru the gears @ .9800 via the pullback from early month. Be interesting to see who comes out to play up here @ 1.0100. Looks like you might get a better value bite at your EURAUD yet They're definitely trying to cut a base out down there. Certainly in no hurry to plumb the depths of sub 1.6200 today anyhow. Agree with little sis though, I'd prefer to hang my hat on a more substantial peg for a trip back up. Good luck & good trading (with either or)

They're all out the door & headed for the beer garden Aaron on this (rare) spell of hot & sunny & British weather!! I think you'll find those pre-fixes simply relate to the month of the specific contract; ie....BPM8 signifies the June contract on the Pound, B6U8 the forward Sept contract. Same on EU: E6M8, the June & E6U8 the Sept contract. We don't trade the Futures, so any in-depth info regards that side of the fence will have to come from other members who maybe trade them?!

Man, you sure must enjoy busting your balls on that waste of space pair Aaron?! It’s a car wreck. I guess for folks who enjoy getting down & dirty roughing it inside crowded spaces, then it’s a traders paradise. But it’s not for me. I'm not in the least bit interested in learning anything from a technical chart Aaron, only earning from it, & that pair isn't offering me wages at this time, therefore it's off the radar. I won’t even begin to get interested in it until it breaks & re-tests 9965 to the north….9600 to the south. If you can’t see a high opportunity trade on it anywhere soon, then flip thru the menu & locate a pair that does offer one. I guess you’re going to have to obtain feedback from someone whose currently trading it.
