Still looking for help with this ? I have very little experience with these retail platforms - willing to test out a few to see how they tick. Any ideas? As an aside, I worked for a US bank on their trading floor - so I'm not super duper familiar with retail trading platforms. I worked with...

HELP! MT4, ECN . . . .I'm old school . . . . I have very little experience with these retail platforms - willing to test out a few to see how they tick. Any ideas? As an aside, I worked for a US bank on their trading floor - so I'm not super duper familiar with retail trading platforms. I...

USD Bernanke and XAU - tigers and lions and bears, oh my! We experienced a little bounce in the USD and if Bernanke doesn't shock us, we may be pippin' later on today when the NY session is is full gear. As much as I like charting/technical analysis - I'm never opposed to making a buck...

Dow 10,000 EUR/USD 150 - what do we think about that? Will the greenback continue to slide through the NY session today or can it reverse the trend? I'm looking at buying USD and selling XAU for a quick hit before the US session. With TIC Net Long term Transactions being reported, wish me...

EUR/USD chat The FOMC minutes were a disappointment for the USD yesterday - and Obama's stimulus package is unraveling as the US goverment may continue buying MBS securities in an effort to stave off the crumbling of an empire. But hey, at least he's $1M dollars richer after winning the Nobel...

Eur/USD levels for this a.m. Maybe the FOMC minutes will breathe some life into the dollar. The NY session should be an interesting one. What are your thoughts? And I thought Obama winning the Nobel would solve the USD's woes. Ok, that was a joke, for those of you wondering. :)...

Really short term Is the correct answer . . . How's I do? :)

you are a funny guy too Outstanding - keep'em smiling.

An interesting response . . . . Although I am new to posting on FXPA, I'm certainly not new to investing having worked as a Vice President for one of the largest banks in the USA/World. I am still figuring out what goes where - and I also figured newbies may benefit from some very general...

Scared to death of these levels - maybe its time to sit out and wait for a downside break. And a big thank you to Trichet for helping to pummel my beloved dollar even more! The Dollar reached a 14 month low against all majors after continuous signs of global recovery increase investors\'...

I hate to jump on the bandwagon - but barring a real surprise in economic data during the US session, we may see continued weakness. The Yen continued to gain versus the Dollar reaching its highest level since January as Japan Finance Minister Hirohisa Fujii signaled that policy makers are...

This currency has been overbought forever - I'm actually looking for a major correction. I do love fish and chips and Bass Ale - but this rampant speculation, with europe's weakest economy makes no sense. GBP, come on down - you're the next contestant on "The Price is Wrong!" The Pound...

Thoughts on Gold today? What are your thoughts on XAU? Love to hear. Thanks! Alex

the USD drops. I may just start trading off of Geithner, Trichet and the other harbingers of doom. Just mentioning their names makes currencies drop. Whoops, there goes the USD again.

Long term, I'm still bullish on the dollar. Non Farm payrolls came in lower than expected - although US the jobless rate hit a 26 year high. All of us traders need to be aware that the commodity dollars are still beating up on the USD short term. Risk appetite is outpacing...
