EU is doing NOTHING! S&P breaking down, EU staying still.

 

[Masquerade]

Got bored of my EU trade, nicked a few pips. Thought cable would bounce and pull up EU - I was right about half of it. Probably won't touch anything till after the big stuff and even then it's friday...

 

[Pippy5000]

I can't seem to get in a trade.. getting frustrated with the tight and thoroughly boring range

 

[wh92stang]

This whole week has been kind of boring. Everybody's always waiting for something. The whole first half of the week nobody wanted to do anything before the FOMC yesterday, then as soon as that was over nobody wanted to do anything because of tomorrow morning's data, then tomorrow will probably be another boring Friday.

 

[SSINGH]

it wont take much for the S&P to trip over 1063 in the last hour....

EJ's gettting close Pippy.... looks like 135.02 so far is the high.

 

[Pippy5000]

alright finally short EJ :clap:

I lowered entry to 135

 

[Pippy5000]

moving Euro short up to 1.4913 as a result

 

[Pippy5000]

alright where here's the point where I trust my instinct.. short again at 135.6 if stopped and close down my trading software.. I'll check it later.

 

[Pippy5000]

and then restart the client and check it 4 minutes later 😆

 

[TAjammy]

i hope you are right pippy

 

[Pippy5000]

Why? You don't even use real money man!

 

[TAjammy]

😀 because il get my virtual buy limit filled if it goes down.

at that point i will want you to lose 🙂

 

[Pippy5000]

a close above 10,000 in the dow would not make me feel great..

 

[TAjammy]

if the stock market going up etc has such a negative effect on the euro, then why has it surged when the stock market has too?

you are kidding..right?

 

[Pippy5000]

That statement makes no sense.. it has a negative effect on the USD and the JPY and a positive effect on the EUR

the pair known as EURO aka EUR/USD rose with equity futures earlier today and may have had a hard time continuing due to USD strength via the USD/JPY pair, meaning there was extreme Yen weakness today. It makes sense if you look at the EUR/JPY pair. There also might be a lot of sell orders in Euro preventing it from moving higher today.

 

[BlueChilli]

very large option for Friday on usd/jpy at 91.00

 

[SSINGH]

I say get long Euro.....Next stop for S&P 1075
