In Thread: That EURGBP Again
Thanks Ashraf - I actually decided to stay in the EUR/GBP short, I'm +20pips - seems like the weekly trendline is the key support to this pair - 0.8750 - and obviously ECB's rate decision is key.
I'll keep an eye the other EUR pairs you mentioned - looks like the double-tops are on the weekly charts - thanks! And best of luck with the new Premium FX Service! All of your followers have been waiting for this day.

Has the 0.88 resistance just turned into support? Anyone get in on this pair?

All: Article worth reading:http://online.wsj.com/article/BT-CO-20110315-714660.html

Does anyone or Ashraf have charts or info about rate expectations in the past and how they panned out regarding actual rate increases/decreases by central banks (part. the Fed) ?

Thanks,
Rob

In Thread: Will the Bank of England Raise Rates Before the European Central Bank?
VOTE: None will Raise Before July

To many variables these days, esp. Japan. And the global economy is so far from out of the woods - let alone the Eurozone. Not following UK as much, but can't see any central banks raising rates in the next few months. Unless this whole Japan meltdown turns out to be hype, no one will raise. They may sound hawkish to keep people happy though.

Gammahunter - Nice job - nothing like ANY profit trading any market. It may just be noise and minutia, but I'm focused on the 55 and 100MA in the 4-hour chart. Glad it closed the week above the 55MA, but resistance at the 100MA is not far away, so we'll see about breaking through that. All eyes on the Fed next week. I'm not worried about getting closed out because these days I'm using plenty of margin and get my emotions out of it; also using wide stops.
Haven't traded USD/JPY in the past month or so. But you can be sure it will jump higher if the FOMC is even slightly hawkish - then again, if stocks tumble, JPY may strengthen, but probably the least against the USD.
Good trading and good weekend!

Gammahunter - I'm more frustrated than happy with this pair. I've had it for at least 2 weeks. I still see the 4-hour chart being the most telling. If it can close above the 100MA (4hr.), then I think it's set to go up further. 92.70-80 definitely looking as strong support, but if that breaks, it's probably right back down to low 92.00's. There is some flight to safety, but there's also a bit a dollar weakness affecting this as well. Hopefully USDX will continue up and bring this pair with it.

Yes, I do like that USD/CHF Ashraf - ha - you remember... It moves slowly, much better pace for me these days...
I like the 4hour chart the best, recent close above 55ma, not for about a month - and being in it for about 2 weeks, I feel 92.00 was tried and is over (should've, could've, would've doubled down). It should at least push to 94 based on the daily chart - a break above the 55DMA should provide much better momentum upwards.
I'd did quite well a few weeks ago Ashraf, when you brought up AUD/USD, I'll look to it again. Thanks!

Gammahunter - yes, I prefer longer time horizons to keep the stress levels down. Big margins and wide stop losses. I'm really looking for it retest the 55 or 100 (not 200 as mentioned) DMA. Maybe 2-3 weeks - obviously largely dependent upon next week's Fed meeting. See the daily chart
