    Are you in anything now?

    Let's Do the Lightning Round

    It's that Time Again Folks. Since we don't have Real time SSI, let's do the
    LIGHTNING ROUND

    Only tell us if you are Long, Flat or Short the Euro or another currency pair

    No chart is needed and if you have a spare moment, tell us your entry price, stop and Limit.

    This is just a real fun and fast posting!

    Enjoy!

    I am Flat Euro exited too early 1.2840!

    Thank you Bart Yes 100 pips is very good - we might drop just a bit more as the EUR/USD has more downside potential - but we pay a lot for a few extra pips.

    Anyone looking to trade the GBP/USD or do you think it had a big enough drop today?

    IMO threre´s not too much to expect from $GBPUSD until it moves down to 61,8% fib for a bounce or up above 50% fib, I rather trade the breakout on $EURGBP, as this pair is trying to make new lows now

    IMF Report

    IMF's Lagarde says the IMF "hopes" Greece doesn't leave the Euro; says the ECB has room to maneuver on lowering key rates.

    What will be the impact for this news against GBPUSD?

    FXCM Speculative Sentiment Index (SSI) Statistics for 5/15/2012

    Hello Traders! What a roller coaster of a market. I was looking a +70 on Dow Futures and thought we were going to have a risk on day. But alas, Greek political chaos derailed European equities and the Euro.

    SSI continues to speak truth. Is the Face Book Risk Rally Hopium or something to look forward to?

    What are your thoughts?

    Alejandro: $GBPUSD is now sitting on that 61,8% fibo level. I have no entry yet but will keep my eye for a move here.
