    Only because the fundamentals of the Euro are not that constructive for major declines.
     
  2. Lesson No 1:

    Currency Dealing desks in London don´t care about "fundamentals".

    So what you're saying is that instead of being short at 1.42 while it does a run toward 1.50, you are now long at 1.44 while it is heading south?

    I am short euro - just not against the dollar. The Euro is a doomed currency, but the fundamentals don't support large declines against the dollar - especially with the Chinese buying three times a day.

    Better to short it against Asian currencies right now, or even eastern European ones.

    During any trend longer than 150 pips, you can be fully sure, that 95% of retail traders hold losing trades in the opposite direction.

    I've worked for a small FX broker, out of 550 total accounts it was ALWAYS,
    i repeat
    ALWAYS the case.

    there are two things infinite in the universe....
