Again, I'm not in your league @Chloe or Maciek's, but I increased my account by 15% today! Can't quite believe it myself. This was all shorting cable, EUR/USD, and a bit of gold. There would have been other opportunities but I had my hands full with those. Yesterday was 5%.
Admittedly made no gains the previous 1st 3 days of this week, but today more than made up for it. Some skill I guess, and probably a lot of luck, but I had the confidence in essential direction and goals because of Ashraf's expert guidance, which was the main factor.
I've had another go at voting, but I don't think it will count because I wasn't signed up for Twitter _before_ the Shorty Awards started, and the "small print" of the rules means that such a vote will be excluded. A great shame.
@Mac: Seconded! I'm not in your league, tradesize-wise, but my account has received a major boost today. Even some of my old under-water trades have come home to Daddy :-).
Yesterday also a good day.

"the MAIN YEN downside yen risk today would be if US GDP crushes expectations, which would propel risk appetite & yen crosses"
(I think...)
Implies that good GDP is USD positive. Seems to contradict the idea that it would be good for risk appetite. Am a bit confused now.
There seems to be a temporary cap around 1.6178 and a temporary support around 1.6111 and it's ranging in between.
Euro seems to be snoozing :)
Not sure what's happening with gold.
"now we are most probably entering the risk bear leg which will not make new lows necessary. "
what do you mean by "which will not make new lows necessary." ?
Do you mean there will be no more lows in USDX (for this leg)?
