You got rinsed pretty bad. Mine isn't the full rate since part of the position was put on intra day.

Its with with oanda joe. The relationship between the overnight and the mtm pnl. I dont blame you for not wanting to talk about it :D
 
Well Joe, you were right about the EUR/CHF back in 2014. But so was I - I just don't buy below the 200EMA: as EUR/CHF had been below this MA since Jan 2014, no serious private retail forex trader should still have been long.

Same on 9/11. The major stock indices were deeply under the 200EMA well before that bad day. Only long-term buy and hold investors should still have been long.

I see the chart, you see the machinations of the industry. But I can print the chart......
:)

Recipe for instant hero:-

Start two threads on different websites. Chat some BS about why it will go up on one and some BS on why it will go down on another. If anything happens like the SNB stiff, post link to the thread that was right/ish. :cool:

I hadn't realised that's what Joe had done. When did you realise this?

Easier just use your preferred method of photoshop.
 
Well, you called it, that the floor would bust. And it did. The chart told me to short it - wish I had.

Yes, go join forooms thread. He specialises on what could have have, "wood" have, should have ...

You should definitely follow your chart and call them out. I wouldn't mind some lulz in due course.
 
Calling it + being proved right = think I know something

Sticky wicket that Tom :D


There's nothing outlandish in what Joe was saying in late '14 about the CHF and the SNB. Joe suggested a new floor of 1.00 and recommended selling.

Price continued to fall through '14 and subsequently crashed in January '15 as we all know.

Maybe he's dined out on one isolated success for the last 3 years, I don't know. Maybe he didn't make a penny out of the CHF crash, again, I don't know.

But he was right.

I forgot. Calling out will require putting real money on it. I doubled my account on SNB move. You do same with your chart.

I've always posted up my current preferred methodologies on this site, well in advance of trade opportunities. All anyone needs do is follow a strategy that suits them also. Whether they make money or not, I don't need to know, and I certainly don't care to prove I can trade by posting account details etc.

Understandable. Otherwise the lulz will be abound. You will get your chance in EUR/USD. Call out there.
