Whose sentiment? The public's? The dealer's?

Snippet from mahendras site ...
I would like to once more draw your attention to 4 September. I have talked of this date for long and the waiting is nearly over as the day will finally dawn during this week. The day however falls on a Saturday, during which the world financial market will be closed. I have been predicting for years that metals will strongly rise from September 4, 2004. Once again, I am happy to announce and confirm in this newsletter that yes, metals will start rising very strongly from 4 September. The dream of those who have been waiting for a rally for years will soon be fulfilled.

He's a famous astrologer ... and is indeed very often right ... btw he's also advising fund-managers. He also "predicted" that last rising of gold and silver and the sharp retracement of oil last week ... etc.
--> Therefore would be very cautious to be long usd after friday.

snippet from IFR: .... The market remains loaded for bear as far as the dollar is concerned. Economists are forecasting a 150K gain in payrolls, but traders as a group are much more pessimistic after a series of weaker than expected reports. Risk would appear to be stacked to the downside for EUR/USD at present owing to the pervasive bearish bias toward the dollar. No doubt the EUR will rally some on a weak employment report, but it will dive on a strong report.

Full moon and full of it? Hmmmm

Wien GD 20:32 GMT September 1, 2004 Reply   
GEP: my impression is: the market (currencies against USD) is expecting lower USD ... investors are seeking save heaven investments like gold, silver, oil, energy ... and NOT USD. This started about two weaks ago ... and I expect it to continue for at least until 9/10 and maybe even up to elections.
I use this main trend for my possies ... together with wide stops this works fine.
If I would trade reversals I would only trade those heading towards a weaker USD. For example: in the moment never USD/JPY long ... but several USD/JPY shorts ... if "the" reversal turns out to be no reversal I let the possy run ... and wait for the next one ... +/- 60 pips away.
I also noticed that trading around full moon is more difficult ... too much (confusing) emotions => wishes ==> are bad for trading!

Dallas GEP 19:38 GMT September 1, 2004 Reply   
GD, As you know I trade reversals alot but I think the problem is now shorter term charts are NOT working as well as they used to even a couple of weeks ago. Safer to use 2 and 4 hour charts to confirm 30 minute and 1 hour charts. So the entry at the time SHOULD have been 109.45 and I took it too early @ 109.30 so that was a tactical error as well on my part. My possie sizes have about half of what I normally do because the market now is requiring larger stops IMO. As i mentioned earlier also, the last 4 or 5 possies I have taken WOULD have made more money going the other way so needless to say my timing has been off lately.

Bucharest Razvan 19:31 GMT September 1, 2004 Reply   
Still keeping the 1.2150 longs from yesterday. Stop raised to 1.2100 (although I should know better than placing my stops at big figures). My humble view is unchanged.. I'll be moooing the EUR to 1.23 and beyond, market permitting..

Speaking of quotes, I'd like to share with the newer members my all time favourite EW analysis.. too long to quote, look it up in the archives..

GEP: I wonder, why you take losses in usd/jpy ... I had and have several short positions open since we were at about 110.4 ... maybe you remember (2 oder 3 weeks ago): asked you whether to short usd/jpy now ... since that time usd/jpy is going down. I didn't take a single loss. And imho it will continue to go down ... if not I will be happy to load up new shorts ... at about every 60 pips a new position. Depends on the move/momentum etc.
Just wondering ... and you know --> I'm a fan of you!

The one current terror issue I'm actually keeping a very close eye on is the Russian school takeover. This has the potential to generate a considerable military action, perhaps far reaching, should a horrible tragedy occur. The one thing I would like to see out of it though is the US "returning the favor" by voting no at the UN security council meeting when Russia looks for cooperation.

FWIW I have longs that will initiate over 2200 area too soon. Next resistance is 2225-35 but I have a feeling this will just settle back and wait for tomorrow.

13:11 Dozens Sickened In Downtown Washington DC Office Building

The Associated Press reports that officials say several dozen people have been sickened in a downtown office building. Washington, D.C., Fire and EMS spokesman Alan Etter said the incident is being treated as what he calls a "mass casualty" incident. Ambulances are lining up in the area around 1990 "I" Street, Northwest, and a triage area is being set up at nearby Murrow Park. There's no immediate word on what the problem is.

I guess you remember the O & OO works :-)
looks markets swallow today�s data with no reaction (only looks like!); and markets will calculate today's data together with tomorrow's and Friday's data...a total and real movement.

this week's (rest of it) market movements will get into the history books as the 'classic reversal' appetizer move; means that prices will change 600-800 pips during the next 3 months.

Iran Close To Resuming Uranium Enrichment - Diplomats
VIENNA (AP)--Iran has announced it plans to turn tons of uranium into the substance used to make enriched uranium, the U.N. atomic watchdog agency said Wednesday in a report stoking concern about Tehran's nuclear agenda. A senior diplomat familiar with the agency declined to say how much hexafluoride could be obtained from that amount of raw uranium, also known as yellowcake, beyond saying it was a "substantial amount."

Now this is a big worry for Israel and USA.

Crude oil futures jumped more than $1 to top $43.00 a barrel on Wednesday after data showed a steep decline in inventories. The Energy Information Administration reported that U.S. commercial inventories of crude oil declined by a larger-than-expected 4.2 million barrels to 287.1 million bbls in the week ended Aug. 27. The decline came amid a drop in imports, the EIA, the Department of Energy's statistics arm, said in its weekly report.

The release of the last 8 months of ISM and ConstSpend did not move the market much.
They were averagely correct to 5/1000, and extremes on either side or a ""consensus" were seldom seen. Even then they did not trigger moves of multi hundred pips, usually not even a hundred.

Thus, we should stay wikthin +/- 50 pips of the actual 1.2180 floor till the Fridays employed.

A change of that trend,(more probably to the $ advantage,if it happens))would indicate to me that the market senses a trip back to the 21 level indicating their perception of the Friday release.

BUT THE MOST PROBABLE case is that we'll see maximal 50 pips amplitude ( on an hour, then ten, it mattters not) followed by a return wave, leazy or not, again it matters not.

All IMO

Truly real time news may cost a fortune. I wonder how much you can spend on that.
However, most trading platforms offer their own news, though often times they are late with the announcements.
If you attend forums regularly, in most cases you can get the important news in time, but trading on announcements is quite dangerous I think

Equity markets are generally higher overseas following the strong close in the U.S. Tuesday after a mostly lackluster session. Many are tending to focus on the employment report on Friday, but the ISM PMI today could be a significant market-moving release. Although the press tends to obsess about the monthly employment release, the markets have been taking a somewhat broader view of the U.S. economy recently and unfortunately are finding little to cheer about. Street estimates are for an ISM of 60 or so after 62.0 in July. An outcome of below 60 could be another psychological blow to confidence in the economy. Certainly the employment release on Friday will be pivotal, but the markets will not have much opportunity to react to the report on a half-day session before a three day weekend. In Russia, President Putin has another hostage crisis to deal with as terrorists are holding a school and are threatening to blow it up. These events could become a concern to the markets. JGBs have advanced again today and gilts and bunds are holding onto their considerable gains made Tuesday. The same is true for treasuries. The dollar is mixed to higher, and equities are called softer. A major storm, Hurricane Frances, is bearing down on the U.S. mainland and could make landfall this weekend. This has seen oil prices rising again.

German real retail sales grew unexpectedly in July. They were up a real +0.9% in the month but still down -0.9% yr/yr. Forecasts had been for a decline of -0.3% m/m and -1.5% yr/yr. The Eurozone August manufacturing PMI fell to 53.9 vs. 54.7 in July. For Germany the results were a fall to 55.1 vs. 56.8 and for France 54.0 vs. 54.6. Thus the data generally suggested a slowing of economic activity. Unemployment in the Eurozone was unchanged in July at 9.0% from the same level in June, as 12.7 mln remained unemployed. The unemployment rate one year ago was 8.9%. With unemployment so high and not improving, it is unlikely that the European Central Bank could even consider rates at its meeting on Thursday. In the U.K., the August Manufacturing PMI fell to 53.1 from 56.0 in July. Also in another sign that the recent tightening of monetary policy by the Bank of England has been taking hold, nationwide home prices increased by only +0.1% in August, they were still +18.9% yr/yr. The odds favor one more rate increase by the BOE this year, probably in November.

The Nikkei managed a 45 point gain on Wednesday to close at 11,127 on the back of higher equity prices in the U.S. Nevertheless, JGB prices advanced once again. The ongoing softness in the U.S. economy and how it may impact Japan is a key factor in Tokyo financial markets. The yield on the 10-yr JGB fell again on Wednesday to 1.51%, -3bps. Yields on the 10-yr JGB are now at a three month low. Thursday sees the monthly 10-yr JGB auction where the Ministry of Finance will sell Y1.9tln in securities. Odds are they will set a 1.60% coupon on the bonds. Just one month ago (August 3), the coupon put on the 10-yr auction was 1.90%. In when issued trading on Tuesday the new issue was quoted at 1.59%. This surge in prices is reflective of the growing concerns in Japan about the state of the economy. Recent disappointing household spending and industrial output figures have fueled these worries.

Hi everybody,

Can anyone please let me know a good online source for real time news that are related to FX trading? I've tried reuters and bloomberg but they're not real time at all. I've lost half of my money within a week because of not being aware the importance of the announcements.

Thanks,

Broker is not = broker
The conditions are different; by some if the broker gets in bankruptcy you loose your money by some they hold your money in a segregate account by a big bank (with 250K account you MUST demand this, also you need to see who control the broker - in US can be CFCT; FCM; NFA...). In this case (segregate account) your funds are legally protected (bank conditions� - but at least 100K /account FDIC).

The money market is always fair,at least the most fair

After all you really cannot evaluate money with money,so with FOREX you can never go wrong,what u see is what it is worth and what is fair imho !!

The stock market however,I just lost it all in it due to most of pink sheet companies being thieves and full of lies ;-((

I am new to Forex,so far i am down more than half of my intitial investment in a week :(

But i win trades much more than i lose trades,my only problem is when i lose i marry my trade so i lose much more than i win,i need to accept being a loser sometimes i guess and quit with a small loss before i regret it

I wish you luck with your Eur/USD but please if you are shorting it get out now,i think it will rise much more through 1.2 afetr 2 GMT announcement

"if US close today under 1.2100-30 and US data on friday would not be very poor, i think we will not see eur now lvls for a half a year or so."

I believe this will be the case. We peaked in the Euro's 4.5 year cycle back in February. That cycle won't bottom before early 2006.

I agree - the 12170 area is key. above it with a have a long flat consolidation with plenty of "overhead supply" making it hard to break back into. that's a reason why I think we may already have peaked on this retrace and be setting up for the next wave down.

Sydney Alimin 09:52 GMT September 1, 2004 Reply   
as mentioned before, i think euro 1.2170 is important today and so far after going through it, we manage to stay below...if data is cooperative, we can see 1.2 handle again although i dont rule out the possibility of 1.22 as well should the opposite happens later, but looks like everyone is sidelined now and waiting for that 1.22 level to print...so gl gt all, back to trading

One more time USD. We are still in a downtrend channel. We can however observe that when stochastic approaches oversold area it is accompanied from new low. Exception the last fall where we have an oversold stochastic with a higher low. This maybe a sign of a powerful long-term bottom.

EU unemloyment stands @ 9%; countries with lower average income have lower unemloyment.
means; Germany, France; Italy and North European (including Scandinavia) do suffer most.

due to stronger EUR the balance sheets of the European companies do not represent (not yet!) the move to cheaper labor resources.

And it is going to get even worse if some forces wouldn't put a lid on that. Say USA and Russia. Why Russia - cuz other european countries are too infected with islamic fundamentalism having so many immigrants from those countries. Actually, Russia started the war against terrorism by "invaiding" Afghanistan in 1979. That time US were on the other side of the game. So, a great deal what US and other countries have now and will have in the future was born 20 years ago.
Now we have what we have and nobody knows when and how it will be over. So let us live our lives until we have it.

Kathmandu mosque ablaze after hostage killings
About 4000 people set Kathmandu's biggest mosque ablaze and smashed up private job recruitment agencies today in response to the killing of 12 Nepalese jobseekers in Iraq, witnesses said.Protesters also pulled furniture and electrical equipment out of the Jama Masjid mosque and torched them on the sidewalk, they said.Riot police used batons to push the angry protesters back from the mosque, eventually sealing off the area, which is near the Narayanhity Royal Palace, police said.Earlier, hundreds of youths rampaged through the streets of the capital, smashing up more than a dozen private employment agencies that they blamed for sending the 12 Nepalese jobseekers to Iraq.The mob shattered windows and set fire to vehicles, furniture, motorcycles and electrical equipment belonging to the agencies, police said.Demonstrations erupted in the capital Kathmandu late yesterday after news that the 12, who had left the impoverished kingdom in search of jobs, had been executed by militants who had abducted them about 10 days ago, accusing them of cooperating with US forces

Euro. Unless we rally several handles--the Euro is going to close the quarterly and semi annual charts with a Key Reversal. That is a strong signal that indicates at least a TRADING RANGE in the coming months.

We are in a range between 117 and 129. All talks about bull or bear--is futile.

yesterday there was virtual total consensus here that the euro was going lower, and this was reflected in the market as it was caught well short....will be interesting to see if all the model account sellers will turn buyers above 1.22, and whether medium term players have got short at the wrong levels lower down...

Eur/usd has closed with a bullish scent but nothing confirmed yet. Key resistance has held up so far but for how long? I have retracement at 1.2145-50, 2115-20, 2090-95, 2065-70 and 2035-40. Support is found at 1.2150-60, 2130-40, and 2090-2210. Resistance is still 1.2200-10, 2225-35, and 2265-75. pivot points are 1.2389, 2293, 2235, (2139), 2081, 1985, 1927. I have set my stops on entry level in my contra intraday short for this pair earlier as the intraday indicators unwind from O/B level. In a mid term technical point of view I see this move bullish but with no follow thru I cannot confirm if it is yet only good numbers on the NFP will bust the bullish move. One more thing to keep an eye on is the long term indicators are turning bearish although it is still in the bullish range IMHO. GL GT

feels that this 1.2170 is important for today, maybe a good intraday buy with tight stop loss for a ride to at least today's high if not 1.22?

EUR/USD spent the balance of the Asia session between 1.2180/95. Stops above 1.2200 offers between 1.2220/50. resistance found at 1.2235 and 1.2260. The 61.8 fibo of the
1.2385/1.1990 move comes in around 1.2235 and the 200-day MA is found at 1.2260. Sentiment towards the EUR/USD has swung from bearish to cautiously bullish

MELB RJK:

This was probably not mentioned: don't try to trade very short term, like 15-min or 30-min charts. Shoot for a profit that exceeds the pip spread at least by a factor of 5 or 10. For example if you are paying 5 pips on a currency pair, only do trades that will make you 30 to 50 pips or more. This means longer term charts: 4-hour, 8-hour, daily.

If you are paying 5 pips in order to make 4 pips, pretty soon you will run out of money.

On the upcoming Friday, the US NFP release day, plenty of expiries are scheduled. [USD/JPY] 750 million 110.50-60, 100 million 108.40-50, 109.50, 200 million 110.00, and [EUR/USD] 200 million 1.2070-75, 150 million 1.2350, 1.2400, 100 million 1.2025-30, 1.2300. Some book cleaning activity can be expected. Usd/Jpy's 110.00 expiries are already famous given the number of days of appearance as the maturity recently.

Consistent Eur/Usd buying around 1.20 this year has been the need from real money folks in Asia to hedge their mountain of Dollar piles each month..Hurd Mentality works in Asia better than anywhere else..Given their huge pile of Dollar mountains each month,it is imperative they should do something about it in case Dollar does something unpleasant..Then,these are the folks who have already piled up Dollar mountains of trillion Dollars becoming the last defender of the Dollar..No incentive for them to see weaker dollar either,more loyal than the king himself ..Just a stable Dollar will do for them nicely..So, unless a fresh force comes in either from Euro-Zone buyng up either Euro or Dollar for whatever incentive,or from USA flying from Dollar assets or buying up Dollar assets for whatever incentive,this stalemate may last for some more months again..Oil is just a nice joker in the middle..Fwiw.

Hi again
I have now read all the comments in reply to my post earlier today
I thank you all for your input, it is enlightening!
even the one where he suggests I should do the opposite of what i think is right. now if I had i would have money in my account now.
I will do some demo trading again and try and find what I am doing wrong , possibly my Ego and emotions are the real fault? We can all decide on a course of action and hold to it to long . Also it is hard to throw away cash when it says
-50 , but in hindsite there has been plenty of occaisions where i should have closed and openned in the opposite. I have only traded eur/usd so far.
thanks again everyone for your comments

If you are a Fib trader then I agree with you. However I am not a Fib Trader. The down move from 7/19 to 8/4 and following rise did not hold the 50 Fib or the 61 Fib or the 78 Fib. Thats the reason I don't trade strictly Fibs. Pay attention to them yes. Use as sole trading methodology NO.

But that is what makes the market place.

For me its maybe latency which means Usd/Jpy has to go down 150 pips more later. or... enough is enough. Which means buy Usd/Jpy and sell Eur/Jpy at the appropriate points

What I am trying to say is , that in case of negativ US dat for usd on friday , there could be SIGNIFICENT damping of eur/jpy longs , which probably will prevent usd/jpy from breaking important levels on the downside and scrutinase movement on eur/usd for longs and shorts . imho

The only thing what is keeping usd/jpy from comming more down at the moment is eur/jpy buys . That move on eur/jpy has been suspicios for me , since euro were not capable of pulling back to 132.00 after strong sell of from about 132.50.
There seems to be unusual price akction on that pair , and should be taken into consideration , if you are prepearing possitions for payroll data later this week .

Wow, hold ur horses bro. What 200 pips? 1.2186 is 50% of the move from 1.2375 to 1.1990 that means its a sell right now with the target of 1.17 if I'm not mistaken. But Off course I am.
