Hey Ashraf,

Can you give your preferred shorts between the pairs you suggested in the IMT, going into the Asian session? I suppose it's best to wait for the Canadian Fin. Min. to speak before opening any positions against CAD. Thanks for your help, I am most grateful.

In Thread: GBPCHF is Done
Hi Ashraf,

I just checked your Twitter - so the SNB came in after you posted the chart and decided to sell Francs again (because they saw your chart? :) - seriously though, because of the strength it received after their comments? Did I get that right? Looks like GBP/CHF has a lot of upward momentum, and obviously broke through some of those resistance levels. Please clarify, thanks.

Hey Ashraf,

You nailed it once again with EUR/JPY at 133.30 -not to mention the CAD/JPY chart - thanks as always, I have losses I need to recoup.

What do they say? - traders only last about 2 yrs. max - I'm on 6 months+ Thanks to you!!!

Thanks Bill,
I'll go with FXCM, can't trade with CMC with a US address.

Hi Everyone,

Does anyone on this site trade with FXCM - I need to switch from Gain/Forex.com. The spreads are horrible. Any other recommendations are welcome. Thanks

Ashraf,

Yeah, I know, almost did miss it - got in pretty late - 86.32

About that boat - when do you think it will return to shore? Do you feel we should take profits at the targets mentioned above? Is the market still that volatile - my opinion would be to leave it for a few days at least - I can't see the next few sessions resulting in any massive gains for equities which will obviously keep this pair down. Do you see anymore "astroturf" (great term by the way) showing up with equity traders and economists calling it "green shoots?" Maybe US and CAD CPI and PPI figures in a few days? Thanks a bunch.

Hey Ashraf,

Great chart, and I like the reasoning behind selling CAD as opposed to GBP or EUR against Yen. Just saw an article on Bloomberg about CA central bank governor buying bonds or getting into QE. That should crush this pair. Thanks for your help.

Listening to your webinar - sound is an issue though a good pair headphones and a quiet room does the trick, I'll keep listening. Great info on the Fed's next moves. And great call on 07's fed fund rates

Just got news from June 11th on Bloomberg that NZD central bank governor, said strong (rising) NZD/USD "unhelpful" and "a real risk." You've been slanting towards the short side of the NZD/USD pair for a bit if I remember correctly from other IMT's and comments. It opened quite lower at start of Asia, not sure if it's related - do you have any targets on that pair; and are you bearish NZD against USD? Thanks again.
