News now saying loans will be at 6%..bad news as they needed 5% to be below debt to GDP

Lets see if they sell here the last few hrs

I think this is a short term bandaid..they will need more and lets see how the spreads on their debt behave, that will tell more than the interest rate on the loan.

I havent checked that site but i was using the MT4 here with my broker...just opened a moneybookers account...did you go for the 20% bonus and how does that work?I saw the 10k to 1 turnover on the bonus

buck,

I havent traded the other instruments but they have a TON of choices from index futures to commodities to stocks on foreign exchanges.

I am doing the 20% bonus and the pips rebate from a site we discussed a while back.

The platform is the same as I have with FXDD, the MT4, I have been using the Level II platform and it took a bit of getting used to and I dont use the charts on that platform, rather I keep the Mt4 AND the Level II up so I can use the charts from the MT4 and the entry from the Level II.

Customer service seems fine, no issues..but I havent needed much help.

Do they have live help where you can talk to someone directly? I forget if they do or not.

The rollover doesnt matter to me either since if I plan on being there longer term that wont be an issue. I consider the 20% bonus enough to cover my Level II costs since I am ok paying a small ammt to get that awesome spread.

buck,
link

The Level II fee is a half a pip, but with the rebate on that site (there are others too you can choose from but I went with them) the net cost is .25 pips..not bad.

Well I wonder if there is a correlation between certain percentage gaps from MAs and when there is a higher liklihood for it to revert towards the mean (MA)

I dont know but if you read around most studies show "TRADING THE GAP" works about 80% of the time....that is selling GAP UPS gap down are break away gaps and often lead to futher selling sometimes staying open for months...

That being said i sure did jump in the wrong pair as EU/USD has dipped 60+pips

You went long the EU?

From everything I read it was a lock for it to drop after the initial open.

I dont get why it would run up outside short covering..they are loaning Greece 30B and who knows if that is all they need, let alone others in the union who probably are right behind.

Wow i thought i was looking at the 4hr EU/JPY...those MAs are from the daily so this might be a bad idea as it only needs to move a few pips and should have some support...

Nearest MA on 4hr is 12599...
