Currency trading (Sept. 4th > 8th)

[wasp]

September is upon us and hopefully with it will come some big old swings and moves. There is the FED beige book Wednesday and the odd other thing here and there... Oh and the BOE Interest rates on Thursday!

Monday is Labour day in the US but now August and the holiday season is over, volumes should pick up and we will start to see some more volitility and bigger movement.

[dc2000]

looks like I could have had an extra hour in bed as we await the London Boys

 

[hornblower]

morning dc

 

[dc2000]

morning Hornblower

still waiting yawn yawn

come on boys just hit the 15 and lets get on with it

 

[trendie]

will today be muted as the US will be in holiday mood ? (Labo(u)r Day)

worth taking the day off ?

 

[dc2000]

worth taking the day off ?

probably, if Im not in by 9:30 ish then I will

 

[wasp]

will today be muted as the US will be in holiday mood ? (Labo(u)r Day)

worth taking the day off ?

Once upon a time I'd have said yes but America was open all last month and nothing really happened so it can't be much worse!

 

[dc2000]

very true wasp but then 68 pips isn't really worth staring at the screen all day for

 

[wasp]

buy a book!

 

[coolTrader]

Grrrrrrrrr

Not September again!

 

[wasp]

whats up coolTrader? 28 pip range on cable so far today, thats good these days!

 

[coolTrader]

Yes but depends on what side you are on...

Ftse is even better.

 

[wasp]

Aaaahhh!

 

[dc2000]

Ftse is even better.

yup just turned that trade

now looking for 937

 

[martin brown]

big move in NZD/JPY.

carry trade goes kamikaze!

 

[ChowClown]

...seems to be some 5min bullish 'harmony' building now (cable), although beyond 9069 will scupper the set-up. Looking for a pull-back to 9045ish for entry. Came across the 5-0 Harmonic the other day and this is the first time i've seen it unfold. PM if you want the pdf.

 

[dc2000]

cheers for post Martin

Now looking at GBP/YEN to work out potential trade

 

[dc2000]

not far for cable now as the boredom sets in

 

[trendie]

hey, dc2000,

when are you going to finish your websites "Strategies" section ?
(that JCBs been digging the same hole for the past few months. What are they, Aussies? )
