That is the beauty of life. Everyone can be an EXPERT in their own mind but in the end the only result that counts for a trader, investor, speculator or gambler is "HOW MUCH DID YOU WIN" ?

Welcome to the real world folks.

Fundamentals are KEY PERIOD !!!

Everything else is NOISE !

Does anyone here recall August 8, 2008 ?

Look it up on a chart and you will see that ONE FUNDAMENTAL FACT and ONE MAN'S WORD created the situation where EUR/USD reversed trend from a High of 1.6000 and around August 8, 2008 it was around 1.5500 and then LOOK AT IT go down to 1.2500

There was NO CHART in the world that showed that. Sure price movement showed it go from 1.5500 to 1.2500 SO WHAT ?

The FUNDAMENTAL FACT of Trichet saying we will CUT and why changed it all and not only for EUR/USD

Comments welcome but no comment can change that FUNDAMENTAL FACT !!!

Could you direct me to your post from one year ago where you told everybody to short and stay in until we hit 6000? Unless you make money out of it, predictions are useless. Especially the hindsight ones..

No one here has claimed to be an expert...

If you believe that to be the key, I suggest you start a separate thread and illustrate those beliefs. There are 'fundamentals' (or your interpretation of them) all around. Instead of mentioning how "easy" and predictable this bear market was after the fact, it would be more useful to show us what is going to happen next, based on your reading of FA.

The same things are being reiterated time over time, but when someone clearly explains the technical point of view it's either ignored or scoffed at.

A while ago people were on and on about how you could not have foreseen the drop in oil, and yet several people dedicated a thorough discussion to it (see posts #45 and following here: http://www.traderslaboratory.com/for...50-post45.html).

I see little point in doing the same for EUR/USD since the principles outlined in that post are basically the same. If you want to believe that one man's word can change the mind of the market where millions participate, you are free to do so. I guess Obama just hasn't found the right word yet...

I had a look at the chart anyway, and from what I can see on August 8 price had already broken below important S and was trading around 1.5255.

Sounds like very late entry to me, considering:

(a) there was a short opportunity at R when we failed to make a higher high around 1.59,
(b) there was a short opportunity when we broke the demandline at 1.58,
(c) there was a short opportunity when breaking S and the last swing (1.5575), and
(d) there was another short opportunity at the end of July when price turned previous S into R around 1.5660.

Sounds like plenty of opportunities to me. And all happened long before Trichet's announcement...
And price had already fallen 700 pips too...

May as well...

Follow the bouncing ball:

Trendline broken.

Price finds support at last swing low. Go long.

Price finds resistance at last swing high. Go short.

Price finds support at last swing low. Go long.

Price finds resistance at last swing high. Go short.

Price finds support at last swing low. Go long.

Price finds resistance at last swing high. Go short.

Price makes higher low. Cover.

Price fails to make new high. Go short.

Or do nothing at all subsequent to the trendline break and go short at the drop below 1.53.

All you need is a chart.

This was one of my favorite threads here at TL. Too bad it has fallen silent.

I pay no attention to fundamentals.

I only just stumbled across this one - interesting....I guess it shows that it takes all types to make a market.
I pay no attention to fundamentals when actually executing and managing a trade, however I do have a a big picture macro type of viewpoint of the fundamentals when planning the trade. Just so that it makes sense.....does that make sense?
