Why You Should Choose a Competitive Platform Over a Broker Bonus
Reply

We started the week with breaking news that a leading forex broker has changed its pricing model and significantly lowered its spreads. At the same time I got an offer of a bonus from different forex broker as an incentive to open an account. We all know there is no free lunch in this world so the bonus offer got me to thinking of the contrast between one broker offering highly competitive spreads with no strings attached vs. another trying to encourage me to open an account and trade a high volume to secure a bonus. See why the former is a better choice than the latter.

john we were just shy of the yr low for the cash 10 yr in september and its quite possible we reach the year high. half a point in it. so while you probably can say such a move was expected, its still within the boundaries of a big sideways move.
as for the 10yr fut, i think we traded 126.37 back in august, so thats now on their radar with us closing firmly abv 126

still a dollar bull market as far as im concerned. but multiple figure moves deserve pullbacks even if fundamentals dont necessarily call for it. im looking to buy dollar 10750 stop under 30 and will fight to hold it as long as my stop lets me. currently long as a counter, looking for anything from 11-25. euro id like to see us draw some stops over 127 then go short.
will dollar make it a bakers dozen 13 in a row. nothing can go in a straight line for long so for the good of a fine trend youd take on some pullback.

The USD's trend will define the path of AUD/USD.
Its possible we may range between 85 US cents and USD 91 cents.
Eight five cents approximates the 50% Fibonacci level on the move from a low of 60 cents in October 2008 and a high of 1.1080 in July 2011.
Ninety-one cents approximates the 38.2% level of 0.9130.
Fundamentals are poor however plus the federal government finds itself unable to frame a budget that is both responsible and able to pass the senate.

while according to the BLS survey employers have almost never had more open positions, they have also decided to put an abrupt stop to hiring, something which certainly points to a major disconnect in the US labor market. In fact, according to the JOLTS report, its far less tracked "Hirings" number plunged from 4,934K to just 4,640K.
This was the lowest number of monthly hiring since January's "Polar Vortex" ground the economy to a halt. What's worse, the 294K plunge in monthly hiring was the biggest monthly drop since June 2010, and was the third biggest monthly plunge in hiring since Lehman!

I posted the following 3 scenarios on GVI Forex earlier when the USD was trading higher. Which one do you favor?
1. Market takes a breather. string of 12 lower weekly closes gets broken. 1.25-1.27 acts as a consolidation range.
2. History repeats. New low follows another failed retracement attempt.
3. Monday Effect. Retracenent pressures build Thursday and/or Friday as long as Monday's low stays intact and there is distance above it. You can make a case for a Monday Effect if Monday high stays intact but a stronger case for it is when the high or low for the week is set in early Far East trading.

Jay - we will see soon enough what it is. Bit early to say unequivocally one way or another, don't you say? As for yield support.... that's a whole other can of worms. There might be a lot of ifs out there. Right now the USD is under pressure. Whether this is a turning point or NOT will be seen.
GVI Forex Jay Meisler 13:31 GMT October 7, 2014
PIVOT POINTS: Trading System
If US 10 year was at 2.60% rather than 2.40%, the post-US jobs reports FX moves would have gotten support tp carry on. Instead lack of yield support is forcing the fx market to unwind.
As for the EURUSD, don't confuse a retracement (long overdue?) with the overall trend.
With that said, this worked out (as posted earlier):
One hour chart tried to breakout to upside (through mvas) but failed below 1.2699. Now have to see if 1.2570-80 becomes support. Logic says there should be some bids from those caught out by yesterday's surprise squeeze up.

One comment I should make Re: trading yesterday afternoon in NYC, I have found over the years that price INSTABILITY like we saw is often indicative of the end of a move. In this case I am referring to the EURUSD one-day upward correction. I think it results from short-covering in an illiquid market (no speculative sellers) where there is no underlying demand to fill in the gaps in buying.
P.S. This can also happen in markets trading in the opposite direction.

the crux is too much debt on which interest has gone exponentially parabolic. IF it were only matter of attracting capital central bankers would not freaking out by making keeping money at their banks at negative rates and threats of printing more to instill fear to spend it or lose purchasing power which is their combination effort to not just provide capital but make it "rotate" i.e. be deployed.
The current meme (theme) is currency war: competitive devalue currency on the claim that exports will somehow boost economic growth.

Eurozone split - Europe's central drama
But what is the FX conclusion of this report? The Euro area runs a current account surplus and a trade surplus. So obviously the external accounts are not a problem. The exchange rate is not this big deal then, despite what the French say.
The U.S. runs a trade deficit and a current account deficit. And while the jobs numbers suggest a recovery of sorts is under way the external accounts suggest a lower USD would have a positive impact on industry and jobs.
The crux of the matter seems to be: attracting capital. The U.S. relies on foreign capital flows and has done for decades.... The idea behind the general line of USD bullishness comes down to this: give us your money it won't go down in value - in fact you may gain on the exchange rate. And with the aim of attracting capital inflows the U.S. seems to be prepared to accept the negative impact on it trade and industry performance.

BREAKING NEWS: Reserve Bank of Australia Decision

EARLIER TODAY:
"...The exchange rate has declined recently, in large part reflecting the strengthening US dollar, but remains high by historical standards, particularly given the further declines in key commodity prices in recent months. It is offering less assistance than would normally be expected in achieving balanced growth in the economy.
Looking ahead, continued accommodative monetary policy should provide support to demand and help growth to strengthen over time. Inflation is expected to be consistent with the 2–3 per cent target over the next two years.
In the Board's judgement, monetary policy is appropriately configured to foster sustainable growth in demand and inflation outcomes consistent with the target. On present indications, the most prudent course is likely to be a period of stability in interest rates."

Based on equities makets are generally in a RISK-OFF posture heading
into the U.S. sessin. August German industrial output data were very
weak. We have to wonder if the poor the soft data will cause the
ECB to ease policy?. The EURUSD is above the
1.2500 line.
- Yields
in prime Eurozone fixed income
markets are mixed. The
10-yr
bund is 0.910% +0.60% bp. Peripheral bond yields are mixed.
- The U.K.10-yr gilt yield is 2.345% +1.4 bp. BOE Gov
Carney has continued to signal a Spring 2015
rate hike.
- U.S.10-yr yield is 2.400%, -2.7bp.The Psychological
focus remains on 2.50%.
- Far East equities closed mixed.. Bourses in
Europe are lowe early.. U.S. share futures are down.
The heat map color scheme
of interest rates reflects yields. This aligns all the colors in the
chart to reflect risk-on (green) and risk-off(red).

Which doesn't square with the number bandied around by that guy you linked to:
"At around $400 billion each year, Europe’s current account surplus is bigger than China’s in the 2000s. If sustained...."
I guess if the exchange rate moves up quite a bit we would get to $400 billion U.S...... but we're not there yet.

OK got the data:
The seasonally adjusted 12-month cumulated current account for the period ending in July 2014 recorded a surplus of €237.6 billion (2.5% of euro area GDP), compared with €201.3 billion (2.1% of euro area GDP) for the 12 mths to July 2013.
The rise was mostly a result of an improved trade performance. So much for the French idea that the Euro area needs a lower Euro to enhance trade. Looks to me like certain parties want to help the U.S. out with the 'wall of money' idea. The flood of other people's money into the U.S. this time is supposed to come from Europe. So they beat the drum on that one.

Plus his numbers seem a bit off. Annual current account surplus of the Euro Area seems to be about 100 billion. I haven't had a huge amount of time to look at this. But it's not this huge number which is going to turn the tide and meet all the financial funding requirements of the USA.

This sounds like the wall of money idea that was supposed to see JGBs sell off (they rallied) and money flood into the U.S. Treasury market from Japan (it didn't). What did happen is a massive speculative build up in USD/JPY.

Yesterday driving in Italy I heard an ad for USD denominated bonds from a local bank. Which came with a little kicker about 'currency risk'. Yeah right no kidding. Everyone is so convinced the USD is gonna rise now they are flogging this stuff to mum and dad. And now the speculative market has started to choke on USD longs.

A softer reading for Australian house price growth in September may have eased some of the concerns the central bank has about the housing market, however the trend in dwelling values remains strong with the RP Data CoreLogic index reporting a 2.9% increase in capital city house price growth over the third quarter, says Tim Lawless, head of research at RP Data. If investor interest in these markets doesn't moderate the central bank, in conjunction with the banking regulator, can be expected to intervene via prudential regulation of the banking sector to attempt to slow down the level of investment lending activity in the market,
