USD - FOMC tomorrow — Well the US dollar sure has been confusing for a bit now, everyone enjoying the sideways stuff? No me neither. The weak commodities yesterday drove the dollar up rather than the other way around but today the dollar got ...

You know it might just be that there are way less women traders than men period. And those that do talk less ... True, there are no women with threads in the FF Hall of Fame nominees but there are also how many threads and how many posters out there ...

Woman traders??

It wasn't ... you were a voice of sanity. The rest of it just made me really mad. Sorry

Woman traders??

Woman traders??

I have been working a lot on my inside bar trading this month, real money and back testing. Inside bars, to me, are a pause or moment of indecision in the market and therefore are safest played in the direction of the trend. You can use them for ...

If you put fibs on your dollar index you will see that we are sitting above the 61.8 fib of the big move. It has tested it twice and bounced to the pip on the lower time frames. Im watching closely to see if the dollar rallies here or continues the ...

Hi Alexandra I agree. I put my toe in the water with the inside bar on USDJPY today. Some of the yen crosses look like they might be bull flags. Lets see what they look like after NFP. Nicola

Agreed a very volatile day not just for the GBP. The ECB announcement was for no change but there was big volatility in the Euro following a failed debt auction in Latvia. Sweden has very large exposure to Latvian debt and there are fears Latvia is ...

Supply and demand — OK here is mine because The wasp is away. (Full disclosure, I have been taught by the Wasp) I'm not sure when he will be back, the problem with open forums is not everyone has a positive attitude. Good trading Nicola
