Pip ranges have no meaning in currency comparisons. I don't know why FF members get so hung up on pips for comparisons, in that case, USD/MXN with its 500-1000 pip daily ATR would be king. Comparing pips is apples and oranges. Percentage ATR is the ...

For the MT4 brokers, it might make more sense economically to just use their free MetaTrader Mobile on an existing WM smartphone. I'm using an MT4 Mobile demo on my Moto Q9c and it's great. Also, EFX is coming out with their own mobile trader that ...

I just closed my account with them, it took them 2 weeks to process my wire (and ultimately, for the wrong amount, now they have to send a check as well). My review/complaints are here and here. They really need to drop Gain and stop jacking their ...

Jacko, It's nice to hear an update on your thoughts/predictions on the euro (from a recent historical perspective). The last time you talked about the direction of the euro was in this post way back in early Oct. Although we never saw 1.38, I was ...

Interesting.. Accucharts only offers the 76.4 option, but I see the significance of the square root of .618 = .786. I'll utilize 78.6 in MT4 since that allows manual fibs.

76.4% VS 78.6% Fibonacci Levels...Which is it?

IB is peculiar with margin.. Leverage is 50:1 on base currency pairs (if your account is funded in USD, then any USD pair is 50:1). With crosses, each leg of a cross pair is factored separately, so the margin is 25:1. Also, IB's initial margin = ...

I considered it last month, before it went on a 1600 pip riptear.. At this level, I'd only consider neutral or short.

True. Look at the out performance of the kiwi today. With the neutral RBA and Dodge dropping rates, it's the last of the commodity currencies not at immediate risk of a softening rate environment. Reasonably hawkish comments from Bollard just now ...

Goldman Sach's Global Alpha fund bet big on AUD/JPY back in July, they lost tens to hundreds of millions on that play. No one will argue that the long term fundamentals on the Aussie are fantastic. But in the short term, volatility is king, and if ...

DJ newswires, it's also in the top story on Bloomberg.

The market is forward-looking, hence Aussie has been priced for expectations of 1-2 rate hikes in '08. Chances of those hikes have been diminishing from a fundamental outlook, thus we're seeing the Aussie pairs trade lower. Gold prices may help ...

+4.3% on year vs expected 4.8%, there goes the Feb rate hike expectation for the time being. Look out below.

Not a problem! I don't know about archiving, the general threads (USD/JPY, EUR/USD, Aussie pairs, etc) are just continuous discussions. Helps keep down on the clutter. Interesting analysis (EUR/AUD vs Dow/carry). I don't follow E/A as often as A/U, ...

Hmm.. Two different ECNs show it fell to 8696. Be careful, looks like GFT is running the stops on clients only.

Interesting that triangle support line - it was overhead resistance 3 times on the way down, since it broke on 11/28, it's come back into play as support for the 5th time now. We'll see what happens when GDP gets released in a little bit.

8750 support coming into play once again on those weak sales/housing figures. Next 24 hours should be rather volatile.

Well with that huge drop in the trade balance (-1.2B below expectations), and co. profits also down, I think it's a good chance we'll see 87s again before Wednesday's rate statement (baring any ISM/Fed speak surprises on the USD side).
