Olivier,
so short 1 unit of EURUSD and then the same monetary amount (in sterling not euros?) long of eurgbp should give me the exact performance of EURUSD?
1.36--> 1.29 is only a 5% change so some double ETFs would make sense but that might confuse the issue.

Question: If you wanted to short EURUSD in an ETF but you are based in UK, ie buying the ETF in Sterling - isn't this the same as playing a EURGBP ETF?
If you are in UK and want to short EURUSD, how do you hedge off the currency exposure in ?

"Active $CL_ contract CLX1 spiked from 84.73 to 85.92 @ 17:10 EST.Price valid by Bloomberg & CME so Premium trade filled & squared #forex"

Doesn't this prove he is not actually taking the trades himself. If he was, he would have known it was filled and not have to check Bloomberg.

wolf, it's 4 week's results not 2. I agree with Xaron here, seems like there was a delay/timestamp issue, there were no actual EU trades issued on Twitter.

And now he signals 4/4 EURUSD trades when by the time the article came out, they had all moved way past entry. It's not very professional IMO.

I was trying it out so have taken every single trade for 4 weeks now. 1st week positive but mainly due to 1 trade in gold that I mistakenly overleveraged. 2nd week break even, 3rd week break even, this week loss so far.
I am making more in my own account at present. Granted, September has been a difficult month.
I think I will follow the analysis as the fundamental side of things is excellent. I am just not very impressed with the calls.

DaveO, my point is that they are not mentioned, only the wins.
I am fast thinking the analysis is best to follow long term as the intraday trades seem to be based on ATR or something and not very profitable.
Remains to be seen whether 90 a month is too expensive for commentary only.

What about gold ashraf, what about GBPAUD, what about eurgbp stop outs?
Still at a loss this week.
