How to trade the EUR now

  1. nice chart? Man, I don't know how to read it. Looks complicated

    I know, for those of us that are short, 100 pips yesterday in our favor, and so far today only 30 pips pull back against us

    my guess, people like this 1.30-1.31, a place where a guy can do some business

    there seems to be no appetite in USA to trash usd

    long or short, it doesn't matter to me, but I certainly wouldn't want to be trading with tight stops

    when eur.usd gets directionless, it becomes like a little pac man, and just hunts for any stops out there, both up and down

    Put your old school hat on and think about how many guys get trapped on a break and hold of 1.3100 this afternoon or into the Euro session. Some really thick Market Profile/ACD resistance right in the area where we are currently trading, 12:46 CT. I started getting long for a 6-16 hour trade and am going to risk it down to the middle of the Opening range around 1.3050. Of course a break back through the OR could lead to a real rout into tommorrow :)

    The announcement of the Bundesbank concerning the approval of the cut of the interest rates in Europe might favour a fall of EurUsd to 1.29. The bearish engulfing pattern of yesterday is the confirmation.

  5. This is fun. First the EURUSD falls and you make your money, and than it goes back up and I make mine. Hope you took your profits and didn't add to your short. :D

    The match is still open after the G20. Long EurUsd above 1.3180, short below 1.2920.

    The gravestone doji of Friday might indicate a tight weekly opening for EurUsd. We'll see if it is the right time to get out of range.

    The Index Dollar might head the resistance of 86 if, in my opinion, the top of 2012, 83.60, will be overcome.

  9. hard to read that dollar. 83 has been very solid. After that, things stop working in the USA. Reminds me a lot of crude oil. After $100 demand destruction sets in.

    But you know, we are in a Brave New World.

    How much is a dollar worth? How much is a barrel of crude worth? How much is an ounce of gold worth?

    and if you give me a number, aren't you just telling me how much a Dollar is worth?

    I've been making my bread and butter on the 78 to 83 range, but it's been a while since I have made any bread, let alone butter

    The shooting star of Friday indicates a short entry below the low of 1.3045, stop at 1.3129.
