Trouble is this is EU regulators you're talking about and they are clueless about the market they are regulating, believe me this is typical EU regulations never improve they always get worse. The FCA was going to introduce tighter regulation on ...

I've noticed a serious flaw with ESMA if place a pending order, it gets filled you've got the 5% margin to cover the entire trade in the broker account, you have a broker with guaranteed stops (with zero risk to yourself) the trade fills the pending ...

IG says it's everything and it is only RETAIL everybody else is excluded: ESMA has come out with a number of proposals – aimed at retail clients only – to try to increase conduct standards across the industry. We largely support these changes, but ...

I think Stevens has got his hands full AUD rallied on rate hike hope but same dovish statement as March and no rate rise as expected. This is probably going back to parity on the hope of rate rises anyway

Looking better for a short set up now a nice looking daily candle with a long wick finishing at the lows, the highs rejected by a longer time frame EMA

Actually it is not straight forward CAD,AUD,NZD are all commodity currencies. You can get USD strength on EUR,GBP but it is not always reflected on the commodity pairs like AUDUSD,NZDUSD,USDCAD. So watching USDCAD as well as AUDUSD you can get the ...

I tend to watch USDCAD for strength as it moves in an exact opposite direction to AUDUSD (mirrors), every time USDCAD plummets AUDUSD surges higher. Need to wait for USDCAD free fall to form a support then bounce. This sure does look like carry ...

You find with this pair if the 4H is closing above the 5ema don't even consider shorting it. AUDUSD is like a medieval rack that'll stretch until you snap. The last 4H bar that closed below was the bottom of this leg up at close price of 0.90206.

You need to wait for a pin bar on the daily to even consider going short this pair for a pullback to support, the longer it grinds higher the more you end up paying in interest. Lets face facts: rate rise = no chance. Just look at March guidance not ...

Swiss just need to print more Francs and lend them to the Brits that'll get their currency down then we can all go long USDCHF

Fed saying almost 0% rates for 2 more years doesn't bode well for a buying USD nor does it bode well for another downgrade on US credit rating. Saying that we're at extremes in price. Only problem is it looks like too many are still long USDCHF

I wasn't implying you were long pipfarm Just a note of guidance for those that say they went long but they've got stops who are under the illusion they're safe with a stop. FX moves so fast that news jumps over stops, if you have a running ...

What I mean is 71% of retail are long, they would have placed stops. Well not many brokers give guaranteed stops so the price will open below their stops. The account keeps running beleive me in happens has happened to me before during the Japan ...

US downgrade — that's the problem Pipfarm it has gapped down below stops, FX can be a nasty game in times like this. Traders could get margin calls. So far only -130 pips but it could've spiked lower as mentioned above.
