I have very little experience with these retail platforms - willing to test out a few to see how they tick. Any ideas? As an aside, I worked for a US bank on their trading floor - so I'm not super duper familiar with retail trading platforms. I worked with one, spread based - simple to use, not...

We experienced a little bounce in the USD and if Bernanke doesn't shock us, we may be pippin' later on today when the NY session is is full gear. As much as I like charting/technical analysis - I'm never opposed to making a buck, jappy, cable, etc. off of these policy wonks and their diatribes...

Dow 10,000 EUR/USD 150 - what do we think about that? Will the greenback continue to slide through the NY session today or can it reverse the trend? I'm looking at buying USD and selling XAU for a quick hit before the US session. With TIC Net Long term Transactions being reported, wish me...

Thank you sir You have my word that I won't belittle others efforts in trying to spread the wealth. Peace, love and pippiness to all.

Well, it's possible that just maybe there are all sorts of traders out there at varying levels of expertise. And as someone who is interested in passing along a brief tidbit of info, a few levels and a witty word or 3 - I find your aggressive nature to be a bit off-putting. Trading newbies...

Can we revive this thread pippy? :) The FOMC minutes were a disappointment for the USD yesterday - and Obama's stimulus package is unraveling as the US goverment may continue buying MBS securities in an effort to stave off the crumbling of an empire. But hey, at least he's $1M dollars richer...

USD overview Maybe the FOMC minutes will breathe some life into the dollar. The NY session should be an interesting one. What are your thoughts? And I thought Obama winning the Nobel would solve the USD's woes. Ok, that was a joke, for those of you wondering. :) The Dollar was down...

The economic stimulus package props up this currency - is it real or has the GBP continues on it's improbable run vs. the USD? Does the run have legs or not? I've been bearish on the GBP for quite some time - and like a wine that comes with a screwtop, have a bad taste in my mouth. The...

Scared to death of these levels - maybe its time to sit out and wait for a downside break. And a big thank you to Trichet for helping to pummel my beloved dollar even more! The Dollar reached a 14 month low against all majors after continuous signs of global recovery increase investors\'...

Cable thoughts This currency has been overbought forever - I'm actually looking for a major correction. I do love fish and chips and Bass Ale - but this rampant speculation, with europe's weakest economy makes no sense. GBP, come on down - you're the next contestant on "The Price is Wrong!"...

The Dollar fell across the board, slightly against the majors but plummeted against currencies tied to commodities. Equities rose sharply in Europe and in the US - adding weakness to the USD. A better than expected ISM Non-Manufacturing Index, showing the first expansion in more than a year...

Today's outlook? What are your thoughts on XAU? Love to hear. Thanks! Alex
