This week no more forex for me; got caught by the surprisingly strong aussie employment number! Ouch! . Reducing the risk on my portfolio. Shorting FKLI instead.

QUOTE(billytong @ Sep 10 2008, 07:55 PM) I think the drop of euro is getting near. We have getting near to pre-subprime value. Shorting will be a little bit tighter now. I am back to scalping short while holding the swing short that is on top. Good idea Billy. I will not trade today and tomorrow. No luck in my trades today. Back to shorting FKLI. Good luck, see you tomorrow.

EJ shows signs of turnaround. I got burnt just now. Seems like its going to up a bit. I would wait till 5 pm after the print is released.

I won't want to short EU, EJ, or GJ for that matter. Saw all three charts showing signs of reversal.

Not a bull trap, the Fed funds futures is pricing in a 0.25% cut this coming 16. And the Lehman issue is causing more mess. Personally i think it will continue to go up. Just take a look a the weekly bar candle. Shows you a big reversal clue.
Just my 2 cents.

QUOTE(mphpopular @ Sep 12 2008, 02:51 PM) Yeah, I setting up a tight SL to see what happen in GJ. At least to secure up my profit. On GJ, if based on weekly chart, it is not a good entry to take for a LONG based on risk reward ratio, or based on technical. Will post up chart during weekend to explain further. Now wanna kill all mosquito in my room. Keep biting me and make me cant sleep whole night. Tak tahan. MPH, are you sure? I see a hammer @ the weekly chart. I think it's more likely a reversal, might even hit the 200 ema, 213 or 50 ema 205 This post has been edited by AdamG1981: Sep 13 2008, 06:31 AM

QUOTE(mphpopular @ Sep 12 2008, 03:01 PM) This is an DOJI or an HAMMER? No matter what is it? Next week will be a interesting week for GU, if it form a formation like below, guess it is a good point to go again. MPH, that's a hammer. If Lehman get's bailed out, financial market will rally again and yen will again depreciate due to more market participants engaging in more risky investments.

Many traders thought the ECB and BoE will cut rates first but its increasingly likely that U.S will cut first since PPI and CPI have cooled down tremendously. The US economic down risk is now more significant than inflation fears. When US feds meet on the 16th, i will believe that their wordings will change, indicating they will cut rates sooner rather than later.

QUOTE(billytong @ Sep 12 2008, 04:26 PM) things have changed now, first ECB is assured that they will not be cutting rates this year. Then with the US red data like this, there is a possibility that US gonna run into another round of rate cut which could send euro back to 1.5. I wont be surprise that Next Monday morning open we have a Price gaping like this Monday. You are indeed right Billy. Obviously the status quo has changed. And now the shorts are targeting Merril Lynch to be the next Lehman.
