Okay, I have a call I have to be in on. Still long (off the slope of that dark blue line), although this move looks like it's east bound and down for the rest of the day. Back later.

Yeah, but fairly low intensity and wind speed. Mostly, it looks like the job of this storm is put the shorts in place in the grain markets. Not because the rain is going to really do any good for the crops at this point, but because, as we all know, ...

NOAA discussion: Center fixes from the aircraft indicate that Isaac has been wobbling in a general northwestward motion of 310/09 kt. There remains no significant change to the previous forecast track or reasoning. Isaac is forecast to move into a ...

Man, this market is squeezed down as tight and symmetric as a drum. There's almost no skewness in the component quotes in a 6-hr half life distribution (that's the blue line; 0.0 means perfect symmetry). And those other lines are the 10, 20, 80 and ...

One last view of the FOMC: the +/- 15m around the announcement. About as orderly as it could be; no shenanigans in spreads, good size all the time, and all the earmarks of a market that concluded after 10 minutes or so that the latest addition to ...

Since things are quiet here, thought I'd post an ECN tick view of the hour running up to FOMC. The only interesting thing is the footprint of some robot standing on the bid (from :07 to :12 and again from :33 to :38). Evidently some dealer wanted to ...

I dunno if anybody trades E/U these days, but here's how close things came to rolling me long at the hour. These lines, Ken, are the evolution of Flipper. That blue line, read off the right hand scale, is a directional control line: when it's ...

Actually, this girl (one of the ones that Kill posted above) could be Miss Euro Bailout, 2011: Fake hair, fake eyelashes, fake nose, badly done fake chin, fake boobs, and badly done liposuction. And that's only what we can see. Upps, forgot fake ...

Flipper's finally indicating this is a little over bought; two small head fakes on the way up, and rolled short at 86. As an old commodity guy I used to know liked to say when the lunatics had the comm, "no down days ever."

Oh, yeah. Really Flip's cup to tea. Headfaked 9 pips in a 100+ excursion. Looks like it's non-commercial (ie, retail) overbought, now, though (right axis).

Fool, I agree. All it's going to take for the Short Attention Span generation of money managers is to focus on some other shenanigans. But in the meantime, the bastards nearly got Flip faked out on this one. Breach of envelope downside, but not be ...

Mag, Flip's signals in this chop. — Rolled short at 67, where that choppy olive line leaves the envelope to the downside by 5 metric units. That long went on at 32. Then, on the right, a few minutes ago, back to long at 71.5. By the time I'm ...

Majix, here's Flipper currently. — I don't see you on, but, anyway:

And while we were horsing around with trying to dress him up a little, Flip trades through a head fake, and gets long again:

Flipper's logic is not giving up on the upside. I took a look at an AUD chart now, and saw everything I did wrong with that trade. Gator would never have traded that out at a 10; there was nothing to do but hold at least another 5. And 01 sucked as ...

Nov HG just touched 30, up from the 23's. There's some oomph behind this risk rotation.

Hey, Mag, I wanted to show you a Hull MA at work. On this graph, the smoother line is a Hull of the sharper line. It has just the right amount of lag and smoothness for its job: a "v" corner on the raw line takes a postion in that direction, with a ...

I wonder what trick they're talking about? Sleep with balloons under your tank top?
- OldQuant replied Oct 10, 2011
Flipper didn't buy this bounce either. It's going to take some action to get it to budge now. PS- This chart is 5s clock tick midpoints; the 41- paints don't show on it. No they're not. It's 5s clock tick bid/offers (red and orange).

It's pretty manic right now.
