http://www.babypips.com/blogs/currency-cross-eyed/ Trading currency crosses opens a whole new side of the currency markets, as different crosses possess different qualities that can suit any style of trading. Some crosses move fast and are extremely volatile with daily ranges that may exceed over 100 pips. While other crosses move relatively slow and exhibit low volatility, which is more suited for novice traders. en Copyright 2012 Tue, 31 Jan 2012 23:17:44 -0500 http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss Back in early September, our buddies over at the SNB declared that they were pegging the franc to the euro at 1.2000. Five months later, EUR/CHF is now approaching that key level. Given the SNB's history of following through, I think this could be a good trade opportunity for me! http://www.babypips.com/blogs/currency-cross-eyed/eurchf-approaching-12000-floor-time-to-buy.html http://www.babypips.com/blogs/currency-cross-eyed/eurchf-approaching-12000-floor-time-to-buy.html Tue, 31 Jan 2012 23:17:44 -0500 Since I placed my sell orders, EUR/JPY has fallen about 200 pips, just as I had hoped! There's just one little problem... http://www.babypips.com/blogs/currency-cross-eyed/got-my-eye-on-a-eurjpy-long-term-falling-trend-line.html http://www.babypips.com/blogs/currency-cross-eyed/got-my-eye-on-a-eurjpy-long-term-falling-trend-line.html Tue, 31 Jan 2012 01:15:07 -0500 Though I'm still extremely pumped from watching the epic Djokovic-Nadal Australian Open finals, I took the time to label my charts to show you the levels I'll be looking at this week. Hopefully, we'll get some EPIC trades out of 'em! http://www.babypips.com/blogs/currency-cross-eyed/weekly-watch-january-30-to-february-3-2012.html http://www.babypips.com/blogs/currency-cross-eyed/weekly-watch-january-30-to-february-3-2012.html Sun, 29 Jan 2012 23:20:16 -0500 Sorry, I'm a little bit late this week - pulled a hammy playing some football, but now I'm back! Here's a look at some levels to keep an eye on for the cross currency pairs this week! http://www.babypips.com/blogs/currency-cross-eyed/weekly-watch-january-23-to-27-2012.html http://www.babypips.com/blogs/currency-cross-eyed/weekly-watch-january-23-to-27-2012.html Mon, 23 Jan 2012 22:18:07 -0500 This week hasn't been kind to euro bears, myself included! The currency seems to be shrugging off all the bad vibes of the European debt crisis! http://www.babypips.com/blogs/currency-cross-eyed/shorting-the-falling-trend-line-on-eurjpy.html http://www.babypips.com/blogs/currency-cross-eyed/shorting-the-falling-trend-line-on-eurjpy.html Fri, 20 Jan 2012 01:37:35 -0500 Our trio of crosses were very active and showed interest in the areas that we pointed out in last week's Weekly Watch. Let's see if this week's levels get reactions from the markets! http://www.babypips.com/blogs/currency-cross-eyed/weekly-watch-january-16-to-20-2012.html http://www.babypips.com/blogs/currency-cross-eyed/weekly-watch-january-16-to-20-2012.html Sun, 15 Jan 2012 22:50:56 -0500 Looks like I picked a bad time to short the euro! Yesterday's euro rally caused EUR/GBP to break its falling trend line and stop me out. It's a good thing I cut back my risk! http://www.babypips.com/blogs/currency-cross-eyed/jumping-back-on-the-short-euro-train-with-eurgbp.html http://www.babypips.com/blogs/currency-cross-eyed/jumping-back-on-the-short-euro-train-with-eurgbp.html Fri, 13 Jan 2012 01:50:57 -0500 What a week for the euro, eh? Not only did it sink against the dollar, but it weakened against the rest of the majors as well! Could we see a repeat performance this week? http://www.babypips.com/blogs/currency-cross-eyed/weekly-watch-january-9-to-13-2012.html http://www.babypips.com/blogs/currency-cross-eyed/weekly-watch-january-9-to-13-2012.html Mon, 09 Jan 2012 00:46:30 -0500 Awww yeah! I'm lovin' 2012 already! I managed to bag a total of 280 pips on my first trade of the year! Check it out! http://www.babypips.com/blogs/currency-cross-eyed/cross-eyeing-long-term-falling-trend-line-on-eurcad.html http://www.babypips.com/blogs/currency-cross-eyed/cross-eyeing-long-term-falling-trend-line-on-eurcad.html Fri, 06 Jan 2012 00:24:01 -0500 Happy New Year to one and all! I hope you were able to get plenty of rest over the holidays because this week, we're diving right back into the markets! http://www.babypips.com/blogs/currency-cross-eyed/weekly-watch-january-2-to-6-2012.html http://www.babypips.com/blogs/currency-cross-eyed/weekly-watch-january-2-to-6-2012.html Sun, 01 Jan 2012 23:45:07 -0500 To say that trading was wild on cross-currency pairs this year would be an understatement. Despite the choppiness in the markets, I don't think I fared too badly at all. Here's a recap of my trading for 2011. http://www.babypips.com/blogs/currency-cross-eyed/surviving-the-choppiness-that-defined-2011.html http://www.babypips.com/blogs/currency-cross-eyed/surviving-the-choppiness-that-defined-2011.html Tue, 27 Dec 2011 06:06:35 -0500 Resistance at around 122.20 didn't hold this time around, and unfortunately, my GBP/JPY position got stopped out. Not quite how I wanted to end the year, but good thing I didn't risk too much on this trade! http://www.babypips.com/blogs/currency-cross-eyed/cross-eyeing-a-sweet-technical-setup-on-gbpjpy.html http://www.babypips.com/blogs/currency-cross-eyed/cross-eyeing-a-sweet-technical-setup-on-gbpjpy.html Thu, 22 Dec 2011 22:12:22 -0500 What a crazy week we saw last week! If you didn't catch the early sell-off, you might have had a harder time making some pips later in the week as we saw some major consolidation. With the holidays just around the corner, will the consolidation continue? Here are some levels to keep an eye on this week! http://www.babypips.com/blogs/currency-cross-eyed/weekly-watch-december-19-to-23-2011.html http://www.babypips.com/blogs/currency-cross-eyed/weekly-watch-december-19-to-23-2011.html Sun, 18 Dec 2011 22:34:08 -0500 Looks like lady luck wasn't on my side this time, as I missed out on getting triggered on my GBP/JPY trade! Now it's trading near the bottom of the channel! Drats! http://www.babypips.com/blogs/currency-cross-eyed/cross-eyeing-falling-channel-on-gbpjpy.html http://www.babypips.com/blogs/currency-cross-eyed/cross-eyeing-falling-channel-on-gbpjpy.html Wed, 14 Dec 2011 02:09:47 -0500 Last week was downright awesome as EUR/JPY and EUR/GBP responded nicely to the levels we had pointed out. Need to know what levels you should be watching this week? Then check this out! http://www.babypips.com/blogs/currency-cross-eyed/weekly-watch-december-12-to-16-2011.html http://www.babypips.com/blogs/currency-cross-eyed/weekly-watch-december-12-to-16-2011.html Sun, 11 Dec 2011 23:16:29 -0500
