Exodus commented May 28, 2012Fair enough. NZD is strongly traded, but has never featured in these kind of discussions - that I have seen at least; and that gives more weight to the significance of the weekend gaps, so thanks for that.
Eurozone crisis: if Greece goes, Germany's prosperity goes with it
- Exodus commented May 28, 2012
The other scenario is becoming more likely, imho. A new Switzerland could be formed - the Fourth Reich perhaps. That situation would leave all those floundering countries free to re-organise their currency (the Euro) and their budgets, to recover ...

done for the week — I finished with GBP 7110. A pathetic profit but hey, at least I am ahead.

I have two problems that require more self discipline; the first being that I do not delay entry until the most favourable point, the second being that I do not close out a bad trade soon enough - although this is improving. I have seen so many ...

What is the problem so many people have in understanding how the Swiss can hold the value of CHF _down_ at 1.20. All they have to do is print the money, and the only thing which can prevent that is a shortage of paper, ink or machinery. There are ...

Bankia has gone bust, leaving Euro-14bn debt IIRC from the TV just now.

Reading the article it occurred to me that the SNB may decide to shift its peg onto an index based on the majors. Against that possibility are the many statements that a preferred value would be 1.40. As the euro sinks 1.20 becomes attractive based ...

Some awfully precise numbers here. IMHO cable is resting on support at current levels, 1.5650. If this fails the next stop would appear to be around 1.5420.
GBP/USD: Heading towards 1.5603 support - MIG Bank

The difference here is that everybody is buying the CHF and causing the Swiss economy to grind to a halt because Swiss exports are dwindling. Maybe if people realised that their dollars, pounds and krone are ending up as euros they would stop buying ...

Like the guy with the journal entitled $2000 to $2,000,000, one purpose of this thread is to keep me honest and true to myself about good and bad performance. I agree that 30 pips is a small amount, and that encouraged me to try. In the past I have ...

The insects have arrived — I missed out the part where I quit my day job. This is no longer a game. I don't use indicators any more, except RSI sometimes - but like all indicators it is unreliable. I use fibs and S&R levels, channels and ...

I have to disagree on this point. When Lehman Bros went bust the forex market went doo-lally. The daily range on some pairs was 500 pips. When things settled-down again a couple of months later a normal behaviour gradually resumed. However we are ...

My broker loves me — I don't know whether to quit now for the week, or have another go on Friday. After a hectic and initially promising start I screwed-up yesterday and dumped all my profits and more. After an insightful last trade today I ...

I am still suffering from my old problem of getting-in too early. Having reached more than half my target I pretty much gave it all back today. It seems my almost-normal method of trading is to open a crap trade and then spend the next hours digging ...
