While Macro Man intended to unveil the second half of his 2010 non-predictions today, nature has conspired against him. A dozen hours of solid snow has left half a foot on the ground, leaving him stuck at home amidst the Surrey hills. (In fairness, the trains last night were buggered before it started snowing; good to see public transport employees looking ahead for once.) In any event, he left his notes on the second half of the list on his desk last night, and rather than try and hurriedly reconstruct the list this morning, he figured that his time would be better spent scribbling down a few ideas on early-year trading. There seem to be two predominant themes so fur this year: “everything goes up”, and “low volume.” Looking at the charts, …

About a year ago, I made a list of top 10 forex blogs . I’ve now updated the list again with 8 blogs that already appeared there, and 2 new ones. I’ve also slightly modified the description of the blogs on the list. After seeing my top forex blogs , please read the important notes that I’ve added 6 months, and I’m repeating...
Well, well, well. When the Macro Man’s away, the markets will play! Your author is back in front of screens this morning for the first time in a week and a half, though had his flight been scheduled a day later last week he’d still be stranded on the west side of the Atlantic. You know it’s been interesting when a volcano shutting...
It’s been a somewhat slow start to the week, which in many ways reflects the slow start to the year. Perhaps in this world of bonus limits, bank supertaxes, and the like, punters don’t feel like getting stuck in until after MLK day? Perhaps, but it’s dubious. The relative inaction is rather more likely a product of uncertainty...
Let’s start with a situation once witnessed while working in the Far East markets. When a junior trader was asked what he had in EUR/USD he said he was small long. Why? Because the trader next to him was longer and he knew something. When asked what he knew, he replied that his Head of Desk was long even more. So the Head of Desk was approached...
I’m happy to announce a new page here on Forex Crunch – a list of recommended forex vendors . There are currently only 3 vendors in the list, carefully handpicked by me. Each one deals with a different aspect of forex trading. The reasons for including each one is described in the page. I prefer recommending only a handful of providers...
The British Pound enjoyed the mild FOMC Statement in the US to break above a minor resistance line and approach a much bigger one. Events ahead will probably stop it. Update. GBP/USD broke last week’s high of 1.5220 and is now trading above 1.5250. This is the highest level in two and a half weeks, the highest in March so far. 1.5220 is a small...
Macro Man only has time for a quickie this morning, as he faces an hour’s journey each way to get fitted for a sports knee brace. At long last, his torn-ACL nightmare is nearly behind him (knock on wood), as he has been cleared to resume sporting activities next month. Macro Man had to laugh last night at the resumption of an activity of...
Today’s post will be mercifully short, as last night was Macro Man’s office Christmas party. Overconsumption of adult beverages has left him nursing a startlingly powerful hangover, and he really hasn’t got the energy to do more than point at pictures. Thankfully, China released a veritable library of data last night that makes...
Well, yesterday it looked as if equities were preparing to dump after all before a late session recovery mitigated the day’s losses and left bears of Macro Man’s acquaintance gnashing their teeth. Plus ca change…. Macro Man was intrigued this morning to see the first singificant downgrade of equity fundamentals that he’s...
Macro Man isn’t sure that we learned much from the FOMC last night, but that doesn’t mean that markets have receded into a pre-Christmas stupor. It’s hard to know what the DGDF crowd was looking for…but whatever it was, they certainly didn’t get it. Cue the by-now predictable battery of stop losses from dollar shorts...
