Big news day tomorrow folks.

I would suggest being very cautious.

[B]SSI: Crowd EURUSD Long Position Remains Near Largest Since Mid 2013[/B]

Gbp rate decision @ 12:00

Euro rate decision @ 12:45

Volatility is likely, so be careful.

If unexpected euro news comes out, then I would expect a strong reaction from the markets to the up side, but I think this is very unlikely.

Its pretty quiet this morning, it would appear the market is really waiting on this news.

Expect some volatility people!

If my new British follower is here on babypips, welcome!

hello there what will be your strategy on Draghi talk today? How are you going to handle the events?

Hi Eddymo,

I won’t be trading the news specifically, as I’m a technical trader, not fundamental. However, as previously said I will be very surprised if the euro gains much strength immediately following the announcement.
Generally I expect a weak euro now for some time to come. There will be periods of retracement but that’s all.
If I was a fundamental trader, I would be looking for the news to be as expected and short the euro immediately after.
OR if there is a surprise, then buy it up to the last significant high.

I hope that helps.

SO, the news was basically as expected and the outcome was a weaker euro.

As soon as they is a retracement in this recent price action, I will be shorting the euro in general.

The interesting pairs with regard to the euro are the eur/bgp and eur/chf, as these often do the opposite of pairs like the eur/usd or eur/jpy. I think there will be a slight disconnect in this case and the euro will show weakness across the market in general, but likely more subtle drops against the chf and jpy.

Right right right! I think it is already getting momentum and rising up…but still there is a lot to see…After-all, i did learn something from zulutrade over these years of trading - though i am not going to attempt be trading manually myself.

Yeah, I think the retracement has started in general which is good.
I don’t like not trading much, its been a very tedious few weeks and I look forward to trading at full capacity again in the next week or 2.

Bring it on!

Hardest part of trading - self-restraint/discipline!

But we have had 2x orders taken today and 4 total over this week, so looking like we are going to be back in the swing of things soon!

Your right again my friend!

I have to say mbdav, you are very competent for a beginner!

Possibly one of the fastest learning newbies I’ve ever seen. You seem to have a view of forex that is well beyond your experience level. I’m impressed.

Well done!

I think there is a bright future in fx for you.

:35:

Nooooo I am nothing special, I just read (a lot) and (I think I) know my own weaknesses (which, I imagine, are the same as many others!)

I dont expect a bright future in fx, I expect to learn

if good things happen because of learning, bonus!

And modest as well!!

You’ll go far, you’ll see.

FYI fellow babypiper’s, there are now 12 orders and 4 positions open, so fingers crossed the trade drought is over! lol
