Chinook's EUR/USD (E/$)Mumblings

Discussion in 'Forex' started by chinook, Aug 16, 2004.

  1. Well I made 10 pips shorting the Euro after the last spike. A voice in the back of my head says that is not the way to do it, but my P&L says it's OK. :)

    Anyhow, it's past my bedtime. May we have an interesting day tomorrow.

    Cheers,

  2. Rats...woke up early and found my Aussie stop was hit. The drag from EUR pulled it up :(

    Argh.

  3. Well EUR/USD definitely popped above that level. Unfortunately I was on the wrong side.

  9. I'm scalping this, but being short 1.3280s is no problem if you can take the heat, and have a longer time-fram for the trade. Sure you could go hunting for that peak, but it will mostly cost, if looking for highly leveraged shorted tops - and then seeing a better peak approaching. Better enter with a small position and add when it looks like a winner.

    edit: For today, Thomson notes that there are bids and an option expiry at NY cut. Some bids at 1.3275-85 as well.

    BOJ/MOF has been speaking to dealers, inquiring about flows and sizes - which has capped the USDJPY and added to the EURUSD melting. Reports say that BOJ ar satisfied with the effect for today.

    Rumours about ECB-BOJ coordinated intervention talks. Bloomberg guests tipped 100 USDJPY and 1.40 EURUSD as pain thresholds for intervention. I think that a quick 1.35 would be just as plausible. Longer term USD positions 'soon' seem reasonable as USD is getting very undervalued; but Bush needs to fix his mess a little - and finance more warfare.
