Recommended Posts

Hello guys.

 

Just to share my trades on currencies and YM. I am old shcool - just a couple of lines and some candy colors on currencies for entrainment purposes only heheheehehe

 

Pais I trade - EUR-USD, AUD-JPY and to some extend - USD-JPY

 

As already shows in the charts(The L1, L2 labels shows limits - target filled) , some trades in YM - so far in the green zone.

 

Right now the Dow is hovering @317 The market is pose for new price discovery(maybe) on the short side. Let's see what happens.

Filled @ 365 stop 385 looking for 344 - it's kinda risky but it's worth it - normally I won't do it but hey...sometimes you must take a calculated risk...besides is just 1 car..

Taking a chance with EUR-USD bounced off 0940 area - it's going to be a slowwwww move - 1 full contract stop @1.0940 looking for 1.0898 - I have an alert on 1.900 round number I might have to close it manually if I don't get the right price for the fill.

The yen with a nice bounce off form 57-44 area - I already squeeze enough from the yen this week, hence I pass on the trade - will be interesting to see if we have a re-test on the bracket - definitely a level to watch..

EUR-USD - Resistance is holding . Currencies are going to move very slow during the Asia/london session until Non Farm tomorrow - Despite that, I am going to let this trade cook overnight and will see in the morning before the announcement.

 

Note: something that traders don't realize - Make sure you know beyond reasonable doubt how your broker handle stops. Market makers (forex) are a lot better these days than 10 years ago. Still, won't hurt to ask, especially if your broker is a ECN or has no dealing desk. If you're trading currency futures, then your risk is greatly minimized as order will be sent to the the exchange.

EUR-USD trade last night was a loss - but...I got my money back and some change on NFP

 

This is the sole reason why I would never trade with a market maker - you just can't trade the news..

    • Date: 26th November 2024. Trump’s tariff threats boosted Dollar; Peso, Loonie, Gold & Oil Lower. The Trump trade picked up steam as investors cheered his pick for Treasury Secretary, Scott Bessent. Beliefs he will be a steadying voice in the administration’s fiscal measures, while still following President-elect Trump’s tariff and tax commitments, underpinned. Asia & European Sessions:   Trump threatened on Monday to impose sweeping new tariffs on China, Canada and Mexico on his first day as US President to crack down on illegal immigration and drugs. He would impose a 25% tax on all products entering the country from Canada and Mexico, and an additional 10% tariff on goods from China as one of his first acts as president of the US. Bessent’s 3-3-3 plan aims to cut the deficit to 3% of GDP, boost growth to 3%, and increase oil production to 3 mln barrels. Treasury yields dove in a curve flattener, extending their drops through the session, on expectations inflation will decelerate. A strong 2-year auction also supported. The Dow led the charge, climbing 0.99% to 44,736, a new record peak as the rally broadens. The S&P500 climbed to 6020, a session peak, but finished with a 0.3% gain to 5987. The NASDAQ closed 0.27% higher. Today, stock markets in Europe are posting broad losses, with the DAX down -0.6%, the FTSE 100 0.4%, after a largely weaker close across Asia. ECB: Lane suggests ECB must be open-minded on speed of rate cuts. The ECB’s Chief Economist said in a speech on Monday evening that “remaining open-minded about the speed and scale of adjustments is in fact a valuable strategy across various environments, as different situations may necessitate distinct approaches.” This careful, step-by-step strategy enables us to observe the responses of the economy to our decisions and continuously refine our understanding of their impacts.” The comments leave the door open to a 50 bp move in December, but also tie in with our expectation that the central bank will deliver a 25 bp while tweaking the forward guidance and commit to additional moves. Financial Markets Performance: The USDIndex hit a session high of 107.50 and is currently lower at 106.85. Mexican peso and Canadian dollar slumped as the dollar is being viewed as a haven after the comments of President-elect Donald Trump on tariffs on Canada, Mexico and China. USDCAD spiked to 1.4177 and USDMXN rallied to 20.74. Oil and Gold lost ground, in part on cooling geopolitical risks, and on Trump trades. Oil dropped -3.03% to $69.09 per barrel, in part on the Trump trade and on talk of a potential cease fire between Israel and Hezbollah. Similarly, gold fell -3.26% to $2605 per ounce.
