Mr. Bernanke-

What are some of the forces driving medium/long term trends (interest rate outlook FOMC vs ECB?)

Thank you!

Just gone long EURO $1mill at 2010


Looking to add more later

I think that buying euros at anything under 2100 is good buying...under 2050 (on a retracement) is excellent buying...

Look for at least 200 pips...

Good time to make some serious money boys and girls !!!!!

My opinion...for what it is worth...

We are the start ...(actually, the turning point was November 15 2005)...
of a major bull run in the Euro that may continue for maybe 1 or 2 glorious years.

The strategy is not difficult...buy and hold...then buy some more...then buy some more...

No need to over-leverage...refer to breeze's unfortunate adventure where he lost 60% of his trading account virtually overnight....just buy and hold for the first 200 pips...but be prepared that this market may retrace in the next couple of days...but if it does, it is an excellent opportunity to go "long" at some bargain price levels...

I seriously doubt that we will see under 1200 again in the near future unless there is a major disaster /calamity/new war etc

I personally won't be shorting this market again. It is not worth the pain of betting against the trend...

I will also be trading from the longer term view from now on...I am seriously loaded with "longs" from the low 1200's and will probably just buy more every time the market goes up 100 pips.

So I won't be making too many comments here in the future...but I will be watching with interest




But then again, I could be wwwwwwrong!!!!

if you want to load up on those long and avoid paying rollover interest then i suggest that you adjust the leverage setting on the account.
That is put it to 1% leverage (which is half the interest payment as a 2% account).... or better still, set it at 2% zero interest.

your broker should be able to help... so ask them

Thanks fxbear,

I think I will wait a week or so before I do that..

I might be wwwwrong (I have trouble saying that word...LOL)

I might wait until I am 200 pips ahead of my average buy-in price...
