The EU wasted so much money trying to halt the Euro's decline, only to have a 100-200 pip rally, temporary at that, to show for it. They should do what the US has been doing for some time now:
Hire a famous analyst to say something positive about a currency on a famous F-TV channel. Traders and speculators follow the "advice" without thinking. After all, it's on F-TV, so it has to be true. And there you have it, a rally that cost you only several grand.

I would like to see what happens at 4. Will there be more?

I think that was just the Swiss bank today, I don't think the ECB has intervened to buy euros. They want the euro weak to give them a competitive edge in exports.
I'm flat on EUR/USD at the moment but looking to get short if we get a break down back in the direction of the daily chart's trend.
If the lows break, then I'd likely get short again. Been short a ton of times on this pair and its been great. Would like to get short again.

I have noticed a great deal of "talk of the basics." So is Fxcm using this fourm for more educational perposes or just general discussion.
