The Locals’ Take: Forex Trade Update

Brian Kahn - Friday, February 19th, 2010

The equity markets rallied over 80 points from low to high and thus, the dollar weakened, giving some really nice Double Fall Line Trades in the AUD/USD and EUR/USD.  Almost a Buffalo Bounce in the USD/CAD.

The big story is the Fed starting to get [...]

Brian Kahn - Friday, February 5th, 2010

Good Morning Traders and Investors, Snow is in the forecast. Sunday will be a great day to hit the Stein Eriksen buffet after a morning of powder skiing (fingers and toes crossed).
