Dreadful unemployment figures, no end in sight for the misery in Spain. :-(

Spanish registered unemployment rises 132,055 people in January

Agreed, he'd be in good company with the others who claim to make 20% account increase in two days. ;-)

Spanish registered unemployment rises 132,055 people in January

True dat...in the same way supposedly extraordinary traders have no special talent other than to have developed/adopted and edge, understand probabilities and have developed a method to avoid the affects of emotion, easier than many think if using ...

Bankers paid vast sums have no rare talent

Their policy and that of QE and zirp by other central banks is an epic fail. It's all 'they' left have in terms of stimulus despite knowing that it fails. We're being misled on a truly epic scale. Historically we're in a position that the architects ...

Japan finance minister Aso: weak yen result, not goal of anti-deflation policies

He's under investigation also, for allegedly taking campaign money from Gadaffi, money from Loreal and making cash from an arms deal with Pakistan. He's small beer, net worth tiny relative to Blair etc and has very few favours to cash in. Poisoned ...

EU budget agreement "not there yet:" Hollande

Handy way to escape his impending drunk driving charge, interesting concept this diversion. The majority of French are fully behind citizens having to pay 75% tax on extra revenue above a million euros. Overall the French pay circa 33% tax ...

EU budget agreement "not there yet:" Hollande

The majority of Western Hemisphere economies are bankrupt, he simply made the mistake of admitting it.

France on track to meet 0.8 percent growth target: minister

Any thoughts on (or for) Japan's: savers, pensioners, and employees paid in yen in your theories? Given that Japan as the first failed state who tried QE and zirp failed you could expand on that issue to now that the BoE, Fed and ECB are wedded to ...

Japan finance minister Aso: weak yen result, not goal of anti-deflation policies

FF readers need to pay close attention to this guys blog, he makes far more sense than the vain glorious self publicists who post a hit and run chart with a few squiggles on, this guy "knows his onions" and how their cooked.

Currency Positioning and Technical Outlook: Stick to the Paths of Least Resistance

But the IMF don't...they see a fall in global growth in 2013. The waves of positive public relations from tptb are unstoppable atm. Unemployment figures disappoint, USA GDP shrinks yet the 'pile on' into equities can't be held back. In the recent ...

Fed officials see brighter global economic outlook

I'd be careful with becoming too carried away with statements such as this momentum can't be stopped. Surfs up atm but what we're witnessing is not abnormal. A new 'normal' and equilibrium will be reached. The euro's rise is a direct consequence of ...

Euro vaults $1.3700 for first time since mid Nov 2011

The volatility issue you raise is an interesting point, IMHO this could be the most exciting year for trend/swing traders and fx traders generally since the 2008 crisis caused huge swings. Lets not forget that we have central banks in a chase to the ...

It's Time To Invest In Currencies; The "Great Rotation" Has Started - Deutsche Bank

Well on that basis you've got to sit on your hands. Also be mindful that when a correction comes it's unlikely to follow the parabolic move we've witnessed.

Harsh but correct.

U.S. economy adds 157,000 jobs in January

Pull up some daily/weekly charts. Now I'm not sure what series of indicators you use, presumably one from each of the key four 'sets'. After a move like this on euro and yen you must wait until all conditions are met to reverse, it really is that ...

Euro vaults $1.3700 for first time since mid Nov 2011

What is for sure is that it's been perfectly stage managed but let's not get too carried away wrt the rise in the euro v it's major peers, despite the fact risk on is with us the euro is benefitting through lack of ECB QE versus other central banks

Is the Euro Crisis Over?

I'm struggling to see the point or quality in this type of analysis or why it's selected as news on this section.

EUR/USD and GBP/JPY Stalling Breakout Rallies Ahead of NFP

Gotta say on the scale of 1-100 for messed up thinking you're at least 1,000.

FOMC Statement

The "best settings" can only be the standard and placed on a daily chart. Why? Because that's how the creators of indicators intended them to be used.

FOMC Statement

It's normal for adp who despite their promises to use better methodology are still sockpuppets
