CatFx50 - page 370

 

my two cents

i woke myself up at about 4 in the morning to see if i wanted to catch todays trades. when i got to my charts we had already had the intial move on the major pairs. and the retrace=killer. I looked at euro/grb it was moving too much so i said f this and went back to bed.

what do you think about this? i feel catfx works best when the dollar is the primary market mover and when other currencies are in play we should stay out or be very careful.

ps happy 1000 posts nina

Hi!

Honestly, I did not see that 1000 posts number. That reminds me to post less.

EURGBP tells us if EURUSD and GBPUSD are going together if we want to trade those pairs againts USD. But if you feel safer not trading when there are big moves on EURGBP, it is ok.

Hi!!!

If we have a $ hike, will have it for sure, EURUSD could go down to 1.2660-50 as a first reaction. Then, we'll see.

It's just an opinion and I may be damn wrong.

Of course, if we do not have the hike, we'll see EURUSD at 1.2890.

Stay out!

Hi Nina and All,

Yes, the word on the street is that there will be a hike in interest rate. I subscribe to one of those well-placed, private newsletters and that's what they say.

Of course, later on we have the Treasury Budget and Currency Report and it is rumored the US will complain about China keeping their currency too close in value to the US Dollar.

So you could say it's a wild day, a double jeopardy!

ps i guess this is what you learn box or hedge trades for. but those techniques seem too risky for me don't like the large possible drawdowns.
