@PippedOff: Funnily enough, I incorrectly remembered the AUD call, and went long, went back to check, realised my mistake....but I was up 30 pips :-) took this off the table, and re-entered
(long) later anyway...c'est la vie. Scientific trader I am not. Not very, anyway).


But as I said before, I've been wanting to go long AUD. Seems the right thing to do...


(Don't trade like this at home, kids...).

i agree i thought usd was an old story an that atten would shift to maybe the uk but if it did then usd would strengthen to some degree an the fed doesn;t want that...i think ashraf is correct an uk zones should be reporting neg- data by now buit instead its reporting ok data so neg- usd story stays in place...ashraf is right but he cannot defeat us gover plan of the so call recovery ..trust me usd will be king of the hill someday in the not too far future...not that they deserve if but hey there the freakin usa lol...i hate to say it but who eles is gonna take over the #1 reserve spot??ok gl guys

Mont-it's no longer fighting, usd appears dead.

Plus ECB rate decision tomorrow. You already know no matter WHAT Trichet says, eur will explode.

Gamez over for now.

Like I said, my fear is to read an IMT stating 50 and 100 ma's were violated, abandonm the position.

Kind like we've had so far on eur at 1.22, usd/yen at 0.95, cale at wherever, and now tonight the incorrect Aussie call. Even the best make mistakes and slump.

Thar She Blows. Time to shut it down and think long and hard why I was so stubborn hanging in there, while giving up HUGE opportunity.

@PippedOff: But actually, in all seriousness, I don't see NFP as the game-changer. I mean, it was not good, but things move on.

@Chloe: True: but, but ... selling the dollar is so...last year! :-) Seriously though again, I thought we had got past that phase. Longer term (very longer term), I too, am very dollar bearish, but It's not going down without a fight.,

chloe-you could be so very right.

I am remembering the vix though. Too much complaceny. However, that can last a lot longer than we think. I don;t think I want to watch another Bid to the moon european session and get trampled over, running stop after stop after stop in a stair -step 45 deg pattern like they did with The Pounder last night. I don;t even think it ever piulled back more than 12 pips or so.

@PippedOff: You're probably right, but hey, who said you had to live forever...? :-)
