Clock -- you have a contact at the Swiss National Bank or you just got an early copy of their interest rate decision?! Well played!

I'm not sure I follow what you're saying here. Given the magnitude of the move (250pips today alone) I'd say it will make a pretty big dent in the weekly chart: Mon/Tues/Wed highlighted here (USD/JPY): image But I suppose the week is only half ...

Of course they intervene - right after I say "There's nothing bullish at all about USD/JPY". hahaha. At least I know how much I don't know! Well, luckily a couple of my key levels on Cad/JPY & Eur/JPY got taken out so I was along for a piece of the ...

No Pun intended? No...that pun was totally intended (and incidentally hilarious).

Can you give an example such as a ticker or CUSIP/ISIN number so that I could look up what one of these bonds is? I assume they are EUR or SEK denominated? What type of maturity are we talking about here? Thanks.

The world love gold......And Sugar! image Keep in mind, Chris posted about this on May 7th. (SGG was at $39.95 - Here was how the chart looked at the time). Not a bad return for a 4-month holding period... and keep in mind -- that's without any ...

2 Things: — Pidgeon -- With Oanda you can buy/sell XAU & XAG (Gold/Silver) on the long/short side. But it's not physical gold -- I assume when you say you buy/sell physical you're referring to something like this: url Because buying (and ...

You know what, I don't think this discussion has much to do with trading. But just to clarify what you're saying: A 25yr old trust-fund baby (with plenty of "land") should have more rights than a 25yr factory worker trying to raise himself up by his ...

Yeah, sorry, should have been more specific. If it can hold up at these levels and give me a nice entry signal, i was actually looking for a long.

Corn — Here is a chart that caught my eye over the weekend... image I'll be watching to see if this can maintain at these levels. Aggs in general appear to be doing pretty well (anyone remember sugar?).

4xAddict... I usually find your posts a breath of fresh air on here but I'll just make two small points: 1) I'm trying to square your last post with the one prior regarding your bullish bias on US Stocks. If things are so hopelessly bad, how could ...

Oh man. Talk about a misunderstanding of what poker is. Poker is rarely gambling. Only to those who don't know how to play. Frank is absolutely right to try to legalize poker. You really think that "trading" with 100-1 leverage is better than ...

This is a bit off-topic, but I'll take the bait... Why would anyone who trades this method want more than 50-1 leverage? That is pretty comical. Let me give you an example: if you have a $50,000 account, 50-1 leverage gives you a max position size ...

It's just a bad tick. It doesn't appear on other broker's charts. Just means they have some erroneous data in that period. Although, as a side note, occasionally on Oanda you can play these to your advantage. One really esoteric pair (maybe ...

JPY: — I'll try not to jinx it, but JPY is forming a weekly pin...pretty damn close to that 85 level we talked about. We shall see... Bernanke's comments later today could push it one way or the other. GDP revisions this morning were more or ...

Stocks & Bonds: — A Biden warning Eh? I don't know, I like to keep my politics separate from my trading, so I'm hesitant to tangle with the floor runner of the tea party movement... I think the bond bandwagon is a little late to get on ...

I didn't argue with that point (in fact, I would tend to agree with that point) and I really wasn't arguing in favor of any particular user's right to post in the public forums. My post was about money management as any other type of product you ...
