Wall Street, over the next 3 month what does your head and gut tell you about where the Euro will be with relation to the dollar?
I first started following the currency market around 1999-2001-ish when the EU was about 80 cents to the dollar, then Clinton left, the market got knocked and the USD has been in the crapper.
What I really think fair value of the EU is relative to what I think it will trade at are different.
Fair value for the EU to me is par or below, maybe 90 cents vs the USD.
Where I think it will trade is in this range given these parameters..if the FED openly starts printing more, then the EU will probably go higher than 1.50, if they stay as they are or stop printing and start to raise then the EU will go to 1 and lower.
If you think the FED will raise rates, or the US markets get cracked, go long the USD vs the EU and the AU. If you think the US markets stay here and the FED holds tight for the time then range trade it.
I think the USD is artificially being held and pushed down to increase profits for multi nationals and to keep our debt cheap from an interest perspective which is why the EU is at 1.40 and higher when it should be 1.10 or lower (to me).

What kind of accounts do you people have? I have a mini and really like the action but unless there is a lot of cash in there, you're at the mercy of the wild market swings. I start wih $500 and go form there. Usually cashing out at $1500 - $2000 with $500 as the restarting point after the cashout. Yes I do go in the dumper but that's the way forex is. Interested in your strategies as far as starting money points and at what point do you cash out? I'm extreme short term day trader.

Tin youd be better off letting your account grow to protect from a margin call...myself i wouldnt start a mini with less than 2-3k..and expect around 5-10% returns weekly
I trade off crosses of ADX and DI lines also using RSI and slow stochastics...we have a ton of threads up over the last 2 yrs+...i dont like to speak for others but we r short term traders too but we dont take a loss..no stops only limit orders
Im in a trade ive held for over a year now only because it went against me and this has limited my trading..over the course of the last month and a half the trade has worked its way back up and im now almost +++$ on said trade..
I/we average or buy/sell more lots if the trade goes the other way to bring our avg price up/down..like you said above there can be some wild swings but if you have some exp with stocks or the financial markets in general this is easier to do...having a feel for what the other markets are doing or will do is a HUGE ADVANTAGE
Check out some of the older threads just to get an idea of what we r doing and ask any questions you have,im willing to help as is WSC...ill be around more now that i can see the light of day on my trade and im hoping to be seeking more trades in the very near future[next week hopefully]
GL and hope to see you in our threads

Thanks buck. I don't use stops either. When the trade goes against me, I usually reload to cover my ass and ride it out till it returns to positive although it doesn't always work out. Had a UK account until they took it away from me/us. Not being able to have both short and longs in multiple open trades (within the same pair) has really limited me. The inability to close any open trade in any order of my choosing has also limited my trading. They've taken the fun and profit out of forex trading. That being said, I will never trade anything but forex due to the quick action results. Any other instrument is just too slow for my liking.

Tin they have practice accounts try running one with 2-3k or whatever you think you can afford to start with and try trading starting with just a lot or two so you have room to add to your trade
Keep in mind how much margin youre using and have a plan for each trade,i had to average often and this kept me from starting a trade with to many lots but this is the best way to trade...dont add lots just because your down 20-30 pips id let them run at least 100 pips and after that its time to look for support/resis for the next add
