Euro / Dollar Is Getting Interesting….

Posted April 9th, 2008 in Trading Desk by Ryan O'Keefe

Hello everyone! I apologize for the delay in posts but I’ve been very busy trading and preparing to take the Series 3 test to become a CTA, more on that later.

Tonight I have some quick, random thoughts to share.

Question: How many of you think $1.60 is on its way? How many of you are shorting $1.5860?

USD/JPY Trade Idea

My morning paper (yes I still read a paper) told me WaMu is the latest house of cards to get billions they don’t deserve to keep their doors open. Upon reading this I thought to myself risk aversion will be flooding into the market today since just earlier this week the “experts” filled cable network time proclaiming the worst was behind us.

Here is the short trade…

Good luck!
