Elections

The next target week has been highlighted by the computer as 11/05 in line with the elections. That is what this correction has been all about. Today, the key will be 24965 in the Dow, 26767 in the cash S&P for the closing. Do not forget that we also have three different highs. August for the NASDAQ, September for the S&P and October for the Dow. We should thus pay attention to the NASDAQ for here the ideal low was this week of 10/22 - not 11/05. Therefore, if the NASDAQ holds this week's low for the next 2 weeks, look at this as a leading indicator.
We still have this problem of a stock market crash produces the flight to quality as cash runs to bonds. But bonds are in trouble on this cycle so it makes no sense that we are looking at a major correction here in equities just yet. The only way that unfolds is a true Dark Age type meltdown whereby the underlying capital formation is wiped out. We do not appear to be at such a crossroads at this stage.

The S&P Array does show a Directional Change this week. This is why I am warning DO NOT Anticipate electing Weekly Bearish Reversals just yet. Let the market reveal its intentions.
In the Dow, we need a closing BELOW 24965 today to signal a further decline into the elections. Sources are stating that all these packages of fake bombs sent to Democrats may be by a ploy by Democrats to get out the vote. Not a single package exploded. Either it was poorly done or intentional duds that were used for political news. Just very strange.
A closing BELOW 24579 in the Dow today would warn of entering CRASH MODE so that would reflect a sharper decline to test the monthly level of support. A closing today ABOVE 25588, which is unlikely, would signal a cycle inversion and a run to the highs.
The S&P500 the number is 26767 and a closing below that will also point to a potential low going into the elections. To stabilize the market even briefly where we consolidate requires a closing ABOVE 268360 today.

https://ask-socrates.com/Blog/Image/...cd150ac02ab8e2

When we turn to the NASDAQ, we have fallen back to test the original Uptrend Channel where the top rests at 736693. We reached this week a low at 709900. We ABSOLUTELY need a closing ABOVE 719716 to signal that we "may" have a low in place this week. The more solid number will be 735430. Our Weekly Bearish Reversal here lies in wait at 708482. A closing below that will warn that the NASDAQ may simply be overpowered by the election cycle and head down into the week of 11/05.
Therefore, the numbers to watch today at 24965 in the Dow, 26767 in S&P and 709482 in the NASDAQ. Electing all three and we are in CRASH MODE for the elections. Even a mixed bag would point lower but not a crash type affair just yet. Avoiding ALL three would not relieve the correction, it would signal consolidation.
We do not see this market coming to a decision until after the election.

We can see that the market has fallen to new lows for the week of 10/22 and today is the ideal day for the low this week and we have a Directional Change tomorrow 10/26. The market has plummeted after we elected the Weekly Bearish Reversal back at 25753. The next Weekly Bearish has been penetrated 24965 intraday but we cannot ANTICIPATE that it will be elected just yet come Friday. If we do, then expect a continued decline into the week of 11/05 for the elections which have scared the hell out of major capital. The next Weekly Bearish will actually provide some target intraday support at 24075. The first Monthly Bearish lies at 23995. The Monthly Bearish that would signal a bear market into 2020 and a cycle inversion with a flip out back up thereafter into 2032 would be indicated by a Monthly Closing below 21600. So far, there is nothing implying that pattern just yet.
https://ask-socrates.com/Blog/Image/...cd1513c8baaaf4

We can see that the monthly technical support begins at 23967. This is the ultimate area we should test to create a panic where people expect the market to meltdown. This is probably what is necessary as we head into these elections which will unleash violence in the aftermath.


https://ask-socrates.com/Blog/Image/...cd1513c8baaa9d

The two next critical Monthly targets will be December and February. We are sending our a Special Report next week to attendees of the WEC. What is going on is we are approaching not just the Pi Target here on the ECM 11/21, but this is also a MAJOR Convergence of FOUR models all coming together at the same time. This Pi Target tends to be POLITICAL in nature so it can be extremely important.

https://ask-socrates.com/Blog/Image/...cd1513c8baaac4

The greatest confusion is trying to comprehend the market performance. NORMALLY, in a stock market crash, you have the Flight to Quality which is to bonds. But this time, we have government in trouble. We also have interest rates closer to a 5000 year historic low. We have Italy's budget being rejected in Brussels and the entire bond markets in Europe have become illiquid.
We are at a crossroads here where capital will be confronted by insanity. This appears to be setting up for the biggest bear-trap perhaps in history. This is when we need the computer more than ever to pierce through the veil of emotions to reveal the true trend.

The 23rd was a Directional Change and penetrating that low we would expect further downside. Keep in mind that the Weekly Bearish lies at 24965 and we have penetrated that level intraday. A closing beneath that level on Friday will signal we will most likely move lower into the week of 11/05. The bearishness is all about the elections. Real capital investment is deeply concerned that the Democrats are so vindictive that they will seriously harm the economy just to reverse whatever Trump has done just for spite. This decline has NOTHING to do with interest rates or trade. It is about politics.
We have a Daily Bearish at 25052 and a closing below that will tend to point to lower numbers ahead. We will see another Directional Change on Friday. We are not yet through this consolidation period and the main support lies just under the 24000 level starting at 23995.

While the Dow barely exceeded Friday's high on Monday, that was not the case in the NASDAQ. Yet all three closed lower on Monday. We are still in this choppy consolidation. Since we did elect a Weekly Bullish on Friday in the Dow, that put us on warning that the decline would at least pause. This is why we NEVER enter trades in ANTICIPATION of anything. Only on the Reversals.
The NASDAQ made a new high today and the Dow did not. This is reflected in the Arrays which are different between the three indexes right now. Keep in mind that the NASDAQ peaked in August, S&P500 in September, and the DOW during the first week of October. So we should NOT expect all to behave in agreement. Nevertheless, this is also an indication that we are not looking at a MAJOR Crash that would reverse the long-term trend.
So NEVER NEVER NEVER Anticipate. Be dispassionate about the market for remember it is always going to be your own EMOTIONS that get the best of your judgement. ONLY trade on Reversals!!!!! Always let the market PROVE its direction. It is always the master of deception.
We are still in a position where we can make new lows before the elections. The number to watch is 267670 on the Cash S&P500. We stopped last week at 271051. So we have important support beneath last week's low that is not much further down. So do not get all bearish expecting the world just yet.
This is going to stay choppy into next week. The markets are still trying to figure out the direction as we have domestic players are bearish and international players more bearish on their home fronts. So this clash of views is responsible for the choppy pattern we should expect at this time.
The share markets should see some sort of a trend take shape for the elections.
Daily closings BELOW 276680 in the Cash S&P500, 24898 in the Dow, and 27400 in the NASDAQ would suggest that we will retest the lows.
REMEMBER - Position trading makes money - short-term trading more often than not loses money because people trade emotionally. Trade for the trend - not the daily swings without reversals!!!!

2019: What Could Go Wrong?
by Craig R. Smith
If you thought the U.S. stock market correction of 5% to 9% in October was bad, ‘you ain't seen nothing yet’; according to a growing choir of leading economic voices.

Five trillion dollars was erased globally from stocks and bonds in just one week during the October market sell-off. "October’s Market Rout Leaves Investors With No Place to Hide," reported The Wall Street Journal.

What are some of the 2019 wild cards that could derail the decade-long, artificially-induced bull market on Wall Street? Here are a few examples from our SwissAmerica.com daily blog.

"Despite its discomfort, the market decline we observed in October is only a drop in the bucket toward normalizing valuations. Over the completion of the current market cycle, I fully expect the S&P 500 to lose close to two-thirds of its value from the recent peak," writes John Hussman, president of Hussman Investment Trust.

"2019 is shaping up to be the year in which all the policies that worked in the past will no longer work," concludes Charles Hugh Smith at OfTwoMinds.com. "Central banks have inflated assets into the stratosphere, there's $300 trillion in global financial assets...Unprecedented asset purchases, low interest rates and unlimited liquidity have inflated gargantuan credit/asset bubbles around the world, the so-called everything bubble."

Speaking of bubbles, Interest Rate Observer James Grant reminds us that, “It took the United States 193 years to accumulate its first trillion dollars of federal debt. We will add that much in the current fiscal year alone… With rare bipartisanship, Democrats and Republicans compete to pretend that the country isn't going broke"
Grant wisely identifies the root cause why our nation is going broke; "From Alexander Hamilton to Richard Nixon, the dollar was an IOU, a promise to pay gold or silver at a fixed rate. It subsequently became a thing unto itself, an IOU nothing."

What else could go wrong in 2019? The U.S. dollar will likely resume its century-long downward trajectory as China, Russia and other nations rush to abandon the buck in favor of alternative assets and currencies.

The truth is, today there are so many bubbles seeking sharp objects, we may not even make it into 2019 before something goes terribly wrong. Yet historically, investors repeatedly try riding a bubble to the end... until it pops!

In December, an increasingly hawkish Fed is likely to further sharpen their pin by lifting interest rates for a 4th time in 2018, to prove they’re are more concerned about inflation than the skittish stock and housing markets.

Add rising China trade war worries and growing political gridlock as anti-Trump legislation emerges from leftists in key House power posts. Any way you slice it, investors should expect rising market volatility.

My question is simple: When the next market rout happens, will your money be safely hidden in an asset(s) that can survive and thrive?
When equity markets tremble, smart investors run to the ultimate safe haven; solid gold! Last October when stocks fell, gold prices rose; offering the perfect diversification hedge. When the dollar retreats, gold advances.

As 2018 draws to a close, I encourage you to rebalance your portfolio to include at least a 5-10% addition of physical gold as "wealth insurance" - just in case something BIG goes wrong in 2019. Need help getting started? Call one of our representatives today at (800) 289-2646 to help you make sure you head into 2019 with a balanced and hedged portfolio, or visit SwissAmerica.com.

How To Invest In Your Trading
https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-cUd-QThYn...20/Success.jpg
I'm looking forward to a NYC meetup with My Investing Club members on Saturday. On the surface, the group is misnamed. Almost everyone in MIC is a trader, not an investor! That misses an important point, however. Becoming part of a trading group is all about investing in your trading. Too many traders treat their trading like trades: they try one approach, then another; work on one thing, then another. In and out, in and out. The successful traders invest in their trading: they devote ongoing effort to growing themselves and their trading processes.

A great example of this is the idea recently put forward by Modern Rock: finding a Trading Accountability Buddy (TAB). The key word here is accountability. A TAB is a co-investor in your trading business: someone who learns with you, learns from you, and teaches you. Think of it this way: if you learn one valuable trading lesson each day and turn it into an improvement the next day, you'll achieve a tremendous compounding of learning over the course of a year. But if you *and* a TAB share your learned lessons and improvements, you've now doubled that compounding. You succeed simply because you're on a much more rapid learning curve than others.

What a great investment in your trading.

As Alex points out, one of the great advantages of an investing group is the opportunity to get together in person in a setting like a Hawaii beach (or a NYC pub!) with multiple potential accountability buddies. Everyone shares experiences; everyone answers questions; everyone becomes a resource for others. Investing in trading becomes a group process, not just something you do in isolation.

I'm in the middle of writing my fifth book on trading psychology--one that will be very different from the others. The topic is the relationship between spirituality and trading: how it's not enough to develop ourselves--we have to develop our selves. So many of problems that impact trading--from overtrading to greed and fear of losing--are *not* the result of psychological disorders. They are the result of letting our egos get in the way of our trading. The techniques and perspectives taught by the world's great spiritual traditions really are ways of moving beyond ego. As I illustrate in the book: Great trading comes from the soul, not the ego.

I look forward to talking about soul-full investing at the New York meeting--and in coming blog posts!

The Most Profitable Traders
I thought I would post this here due to the value behind it, as I believe there are a lot of traders out there that could benefit from basic info such as this. I've posted it elsewhere in ForexFactory as well.

The below list comprises a number of different observations of myself and others through experience working with traders of all shapes and sizes, and is equally relevant to all. Some of the information is rehashed and/or might sound cliche, but here it is:

They are experienced – Probably the most horrifying and worst myth shot out to anyone considering trading for a living is that you will compound millions in an extremely short amount of time. The only true way to make every day profitable comes through experience, and countless hours learning is crucial to longevity of success.

They know the damage they are capable of – Notice I didn’t say potential or profits here. The best traders I know of understand their limits, and seem to focus more on what can go wrong than what can go right. They are not easily convinced of lucrative outcomes, and have a very high sense of self-awareness.

They trade to make money, not to be right – They understand the strengths and possible pitfalls of what it is they do for a living, and use that knowledge to curb their emotional output.

They have an edge and know how to use it – They understand that without it they wouldn’t last long

They have a gameplan, and follow it explicitly – Each trade is planned and opportunities are scouted for before any trading takes place. They steer away from the killer of all killers: overtrading.

They manage risk – Regardless of how much conviction they have on a trade, they will still do what they can to avoid the potential of any losses and understand rule #1 about trading: anything can happen.

They work obsessively – They follow each turn, each piece of info that comes out in regards to their trade, and follow any underlying information relevant to failure or success.

They only access the best information – Information rules in trading, and having some of the best translates to money. Using the wrong information leads to failure.

They think about the trade, not the money behind it - Focusing on money can destroy your means to objectively assess the trade itself.

They are constantly learning - Just when you think you know it all about trading, a new curveball gets thrown your way, not to mention there are continued means and methods to be learned about making money. Even the most highly successful trader I ever knew, a multi-billion dollar portfolio manager, has a team of fundamentalists and technicians come in to train and retrain himself and his traders.

They are active – Activity sparks creativity, a very crucial part of trading.

They have patience – They understand that the money will come, but everything needs to be in place, first.

NOTE: Not my information however excellent points so I share it here on this quiet Saturday night.

Regards,


Benjaminis

I first want to talk about having an EDGE. Fundamentals by themselves is not an EDGE. However using Money Flow between Asset Classes from here on I will include in my basket of 100% of what a winning Forex Trader needs. I will not refer to it as a fundamental anymore since new people coming to this thread put my method as including Money Flow as a fundamental which it actually is however not in the same way as most people understand Fundamentals.

This week we will get to see Non Farm Payroll (N F P) and as any experienced Fundamental Forex Trader knows it usually is a fantasy number created by the BLS however next to a FED rate announcement it is the one number that can move markets hundreds of PIPS in seconds and minutes.

Whatever the number Trillions of Fiat Currencies and other Asset Classes will start to change values as we "SEE" the Money Flow. That is why I call it my EDGE and once you know it and understand it well then it becomes your EDGE as well.

Here are the 5 important things that any Forex Trader that belongs to the minority of constant profitable Forex Traders , which I have named , The 5% Club needs to have. Of course in my opinion, I would think that very few Professional Forex Traders use the EDGE. Of course when you know about it then anyone can use it.

Each of the following five important things which I have given a weighting of 20% to each makes up what a profitable Forex Trader needs to have in order of IMPORTANCE.

(1) The ability of the Forex Trader to control their FEAR and their GREED and their EGO. Perhaps the last one is the most important of the three since the MARKET is always right. Using Money Flow puts you with the Market instead of against it as your Forex Account keeps losing the value in it.

The reason that I teach Forex Traders whether experienced or new to Forex trading with a $50,000 US Dollars Demo Account is because that is how I learned my trade starting during 2003. By learning to trade with $50,000 US Dollars in Demo Funds, then I had no FEAR or GREED. However after 3 years of Forex Demo Trading I surely had EGO since month in and month out my Return On Investment (ROI) was constantly over 10% a month or 120% a year.

(2) Money Flow. I have now explained why.

(3) Risk Management. That is next to Money Flow the KEY element of my Forex Trading since when you blow your account whether you are trading with too little capital as the majority of Retail Traders are or because of a Black Swan event such as Brexit or Europe banking issue such as we have in Italy at the moment or the Swiss Central Bank as they did a few years ago say one thing and then next moment announce a major change in their policy and 500 PIP movements happen in seconds. The absolute MINIMUM Forex Account that I would and could trade with would be $10,000 US Dollars. I would be glad to answer questions as to why although most will understand. What if you do not have $10,000 US Dollars trade with ? Prove to yourself that you have the skills and the knowledge to trade with profits then you will have no problems finding funds to trade Forex with. After my 3 years of Forex Demo Trading, I went out and found 6 clients that first deposited initially $50,000 US Dollars and within 3 months along with the profits that I was generating in my first three months of Forex trading from March 2006 to June 2006, I was managing well over $100,000 US Dollars.

(4) Technical Indicators which includes all parts of it whether Support and Resistance or Supply and Demand or Pivot Points. I use when I do daily trades the 5 Minute Charts along with the 15 Minute Charts and 30 Minute Charts to go along with the 4 Hour Charts. When you toss a rock in the river the first ripple is the 5 Minute Chart and then on to the 30 Minute and the two others. I use other indicators aside from the standard ones which are SAR and Fractal and Awesome Oscillator. The most important one that I look at when I enter into a Forex Trade is Support and Resistance so if I am going long or short I enter either at the TOP or BOTTOM of the Chart that I am using. Of course my Risk Management protects me from Human Errors or EGO.

(5) Fundamentals. I am fairly sure most of those reading my words today or whenever they read it might be surprised how a Forex Trader such as myself who posts a tremendous amount of research can list fundamentals as number (5) in order of importance. It is the research that allows me to clearly understand the difference between PERCEPTION (Markets) and REALITY (Research) Then I know what will most likely happen in the future and I am better prepared to deal with it.

I hope that this post of my daily Morning Thoughts answers some of your questions both for the 12 Forex Traders using the $50,000 US Funds Demo account with FXCMUK or anyone else. There is no reason that an experienced trader reading this thread or anyone else to not open a $50,000 US Dollars FXCM UK account so they can use the knowledge that we share here to learn new things and try them without having any FEAR of LOSS !!!

As always , I look forward to feedback and thoughts and anything that you care to share with us on our Thread.

Russia-Saudi Arabia Celebrate Trump “Suiciding” Top US Navy Admiral Ready To Start World War III
By: Sorcha Faal, and as reported to her Western Subscribers
An interesting Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA) report circulating in the Kremlin today noting the most significant events occurring at the 2018 G20 Buenos Aires Summit says President Putin and Saudi Arabianleader Mohammad bin Salman were both “celebratory” [праздновать] after receiving confirmation that President Trump had “eliminated” [устранить] by suicide US Navy Vice Admiral Scott A. Stearney—who as the commander of US military forces in the Middle East was singlehandedly trying to provoke World War III by his ordering a massive bombing campaign that over the past few weeks has killed at least 206 civilians, including by his using internationally outlawed white phosphorous bombs—but whose reign of terror is now over after he was discovered, just hours ago, dead by a gunshot wound to his head at his home on the US military base in Bahrain—that caused Putin to personally thank Trump during an informal meeting, and US National Security Advisor to the President John Bolton to approach Yuri Ushakov, Assistant to the Russian President, and confirm that the US side would like to resume and normalize dialogue—that Foreign Minister Lavrov replied to by stating “we are ready for this as soon as our colleagues are”. [Note: Some words and/or phrases appearing in quotes in this report are English language approximations of Russian words/phrases having no exact counterpart.]

President Vladimir Putin and Saudi leader Mohammad bin Salman celebrate news of “Deep State” warmonger US Navy Vice Admiral Scott Stearney being suicided

According to this report, this year’s G20 Summit was one of the most consequential in modern history—that began within hours after the neo-Nazi government of Ukraine declared martial law, and ended with France in flames as revolution nears, and that now sees its socialist government preparing to declare a state of national emergency as rioters tear Paris apart.
Marching headlong into this maelstrom, any part of which going wrong would quickly see the entire world embroiled in war, this report continues, was President Trump—whose main threat to his nation’s constitutional system is said to be his catalyzing a hysterical opposition—that has his opposition so freaked out that it’s willing to throw overboard legal and constitutional niceties to thwart him—but at the start of the G20 Summit saw Trump taunting them with a Tweet showing his “Deep State” enemies behind bars for treason—and at its end saw Trump’s Vice President Mike Pence, likewise, sending out a taunting Tweet showing him standing next to a highly armed US police officer who was wearing a “QAnon” patch on his uniform—a believed to be secret US military intelligence operation working to prevent a coup against Trump.

http://www.whatdoesitmean.com/five4.png

President Trump Tweets out who will be imprisoned for treason at start of G20 Summit—Vice President Pence follows with Tweet showing the police who will arrest them when G20 Summit ends

The most accurate description that can be given of what the G20 Summit was all about, this report says, was it being a showdown between the world’s nationalists and globalists—with President Trump leading the nationalist forces, and who, among his other triumphs, forced China to make the deadly opioid drug fentanyl a controlled substance subject to death penalty laws—with the globalists being led by German Chancellor Angela Merkel who has declared that “nation states must today be prepared to give up their sovereignty”, and whose former foreign minister has branded Trump’s nationalist America as a “rogue superpower”.

http://www.whatdoesitmean.com/five5.jpg

Most exposed at the G20 Summit for the entire world see as one of the main differences between nationalists and globalists, this report details, is a United States being led by nationalist President Trump, and whose citizens remain relatively peaceful while they enjoy some of the lowest fuel prices they’ve seen in decades, record job growth, and record unemployment—that stands in direct opposition to a French nation being led by globalist President Macron, but whose citizens have turned their country’s richest boulevards and most prominent landmarks into veritable war zones today because they’ve been forced to pay some of the highest fuel prices in the world due to global warming social engineering—and who say about Macron and his government’s insane policies that are driving them into poverty: “they talk about the end of the world while we are talking about the end of the month”.
Also being exposed at the G20 Summit, this report continues, are the beyond hypocritical migrant policies these globalists are trying to force upon the world—best exampled by the globalist nation of Germany having just started an ad campaign offering migrants cash to go home—while at the same they’re supporting a new law that will make “criticism of migration” a criminal offense.

http://www.whatdoesitmean.com/five6.jpg

With President Trump having left the G20 Summit as the undisputed leader of Western nationalists, this report concludes, his greatest blow against these globalists that must be acknowledged is that from their killing of President John F. Kennedy, to their making up the fake Trump-Russia collusion farce, he has, indeed, forced the “Deep State” out of the shadows—thus exposing who they really are, such as the Clintons, whose tin cup is said worthy of the Smithsonian as they hoovered more than $2 billion in contributions to their campaigns, foundation and philanthropies while selling the American people out for their own gain—the Obamas, whose foul mouthed tirades continue to shock people—and whose up and coming new “leaders” are best exemplified by Democratic socialist wunderkind Ocasio-Cortez who has just compared her election to landing on the moon and wiring America for electricity—leaving it no wonder why Trump’s popularity has continued to rise in spite of everything these globalist elites have thrown against him—many of whom, undoubtedly, will be suicided like US Navy Vice Admiral Stearney as this is no longer a game, but war.

In the meantime, here’s more from the Reuters article:
Before heading into Sunday’s meeting, Macron met under heavy security with police and firefighters near the Champs Elysees boulevard. Some bystanders cheered, others jeered and called on him to resign.So too did Jean-Luc Melenchon, head of hard-left party La France Insoumise (France Unbowed) and far-right leader Marine Le Pen, who both demanded the government unwind its fuel tax hikes. They called for parliament to be dissolved and snap elections held.
Such an outcome is unlikely, however. Macron has 3 1/2 years left of his five-year mandate and a strong majority in parliament, albeit with signs of simmering unease on the backbenches over his response to the protests.


TV footage showed the interior of the Arc ransacked, a statue of Marianne, symbol of the French republic, smashed, and graffiti scrawled on the exterior ranging from anti-capitalist slogans to social demands and calls for Macron’s resignation. On nearby streets, some Parisians worried of a repeat of the violence next weekend. The yellow vests have already called another demonstration in Paris.

“The violence is increasing at an exponential rate,” said Claude, a resident in the affluent 16th district. “The state is losing control, it is scary. They cannot let this happen. Maybe the army should intervene.”

Let’s end with an excerpt from a long, scary article in the most recent Atlantic Magazine titled A Warning From Europe: The Worst Is Yet to Come


From Orwell to Koestler, the European writers of the 20th century were obsessed with the idea of the Big Lie. The vast ideological constructs that were Communism and fascism, the posters demanding fealty to the Party or the Leader, the Brownshirts and Blackshirts marching in formation, the torch-lit parades, the terror police — these Big Lies were so absurd and inhuman, they required prolonged violence to impose and the threat of violence to maintain. They required forced education, total control of all culture, the politicization of journalism, sports, literature, and the arts.


By contrast, the polarizing political movements of 21st-century Europe demand much less of their adherents. They don’t require belief in a full-blown ideology, and thus they don’t require violence or terror police. They don’t force people to believe that black is white, war is peace, and state farms have achieved 1,000 percent of their planned production. Most of them don’t deploy propaganda that conflicts with everyday reality. And yet all of them depend, if not on a Big Lie, then on what the historian Timothy Snyder once told me should be called the Medium-Size Lie, or perhaps a clutch of Medium-Size Lies. To put it differently, all of them encourage their followers to engage, at least part of the time, with an alternative reality. Sometimes that alternative reality has developed organically; more often, it’s been carefully formulated, with the help of modern marketing techniques, audience segmentation, and social-media campaigns.


Americans are of course familiar with the ways a lie can increase polarization and inflame xenophobia: Donald Trump entered American politics on the back of birtherism, the false premise that President Barack Obama was not born in America — a conspiracy theory whose power was seriously underestimated at the time, and that paved the way for other lies, from “Mexican rapists” to “Pizzagate.” But in Poland, and in Hungary too, we now have examples of what happens when a Medium-Size Lie — a conspiracy theory — is propagated first by a political party as the central plank of its election campaign, and then by a ruling party, with the full force of a modern, centralized state apparatus behind it.

To keep being honest with you here, I do have to give a “sort of” shout out to the Good Morning America televisions 2008 prediction of fuel prices hitting $9 a gallon—but not in 2015 as they predicted, nor in America—but in France, in 2018—where today the French people are tearing their nation apart because of outrageously high fuel prices being imposed on them against their will by a climate alarmist government in a world that’s overflowing with cheap fuel.


To any of you wondering why these thoroughly discredited climate change/global warming lunatics are being revered and followed, you must first understand that what they espouse isn’t a science, but a “religion”—which is a modern Western concept whose parallel concepts are not found in many current and past cultures—as there is no equivalent term for religion in many languages, and scholars have found it difficult to develop a consistent definition, with some giving up on the possibility of a definition, while others argue that regardless of its definition, it is not appropriate to apply it to non-Western cultures.
Most important for you to know about “religion” is that in many Western societies, mainly America, is it being wrongly likened to “belief”—an acceptance that a statement is true or that something exists—best exampled by your knowing that there is no such thing as a Christian “religion”, there is only Christian “belief”—with the beliefs of Christianity that have been brought down through the ages being: “The Bible is the only inspired, infallible, and authoritative written Word of God, penned by man with the leading of the Holy Spirit”—and—“There is one God, eternally existent in three persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.”

http://www.whatdoesitmean.com/insane3.jpg

Next for you to understand is that while a “belief” is an individual act, “religion” is a “system”—a set of connected things or parts forming a complex whole—that is created using “propaganda”--information, especially of a biased or misleading nature, used to promote or publicize a particular political cause or point of view—and induces in its adherents “cognitive dissonance”—the state of having inconsistent thoughts, beliefs, or attitudes, especially as relating to behavioral decisions and attitude change.


Therefore, “religion” has no other function or purpose than to turn human beings into raving lunatics who, in turn, are able to be manipulated and controlled by their slave masters—and whose only antidote for is “belief”.


By living a life of “belief”, the Sisters of Sorcha Faal were able to truthfully report to you last July-2017 that despite the lies being spread by the climate change/global warming “religion”, global sea levels were falling—with their, also, being able to report to you this past week that the ocean circulation in North Atlantic is at its weakest for 1,500 years - and at levels that previously triggered a mini Ice Age.

With “religion” having spread beyond climate change/global warming alarmism into every facet of life, too, the Sisters using “belief” were able to warn you on 18 December 2017 that the cryptocurrency Bitcoin was a scam as its price was soaring over $20,000 towards what “experts” were predicting would reach $400,000—and for those who listened and heeded this warning, saved their fortunes from the Bitcoin crash that now sees its value being less than $4,000 today.

For those of you who have long followed the Sisters, their “belief” way of trying to help those in need have further allowed them to warn of many other things, too—such as:
1.) A June 28, 2007, Sorcha Faal report titled U.S. Banking Collapse ‘Imminent’ Warns French Banking Giant predated many aspects of the Financial Crisis of 2007–08 including the collapse of U.S. banks Bear Stearns (went defunct in March 2008) and Lehman Brothers (filed for bankruptcy on September 15, 2008).
2.) An October 25, 2008, Sorcha Faal report titled Iranian Leader In Secret Meet With Obama At U.S. Military Stronghold In Hawaii lays the basis for the rapprochement between the United States and Iran that occurred 7 years later in 2015 with the signing of the Iran nuclear deal framework.
3.) A February 24, 2014, Sorcha Faal report titled Putin Orders Troops To Crimea Passes, Warns NATO Of War said that Russia was preparing for “all out war”—and was confirmed as being true in March 2015 when Russian President Vladimir Putin admitted that he had been ready to put his country’s nuclear forces on alert over Crimea.
4.) An August 1, 2014, Sorcha Faal report titled India Shocks World, Joins Russia Against Obama Regime said that the destruction of Muammar Gaddafi was due to his plan to start having Libyan oil paid for in gold—and was confirmed as being true by Vice News in January 2016 from a April 2, 2011 email sent from Sidney Blumenthal to then Secretary of State Hillary Clinton revealing that the invasion of Libya was launched to prevent Muammar Gaddafi from establishing a pan-African currency based on Libya’s gold Dinar for the use selling oil.
5.) A November 7, 2015, Sorcha Faal report titled Russian Emissary Death In U.S. Spurs Flight To Moscow Of Plane Shootdown Terrorists highlighted the believed to be at the time heart attack death of Russian media tycoon, and President Vladimir Putin aide, Mikhail Lesin in Washington D.C.—but whose death was revealed four months later, on March 10, 2016, to have been caused by “blunt force injuries to his head”.

Even on 22 October 2016, two weeks before the US presidential election, Sister Ciara wrote to you and said Donald Trump would win, with her further stating: “And before anyone objects to my stating that Donald Trump is on the cusp of achieving a landslide victory, let me assure you this is based on fact, not supposition.”


So here’s what continually perplexes me folks—why do the people the Sisters keep helping with their “belief’ fail to support them—with their instead still relying on a “religion” whose enormous lies are only matched by how often they’re ignored?

And with Sister Ciara’s letter to you yesterday--Graveyard Of Christianity Rises In America As Satan’s Harvest Nears—proving how late the hour really is, do any of you think like me that if those who “believe” don’t start standing up and supporting those of helping them all could be lost?

For those of you thinking like me, and by all means, can you take a minute or two and go below to give what you can to the Sisters today? After all, what they’ve done is tell you the truth their “belief” tells them to—and for doing that are attacked without mercy and lead lives of poverty, while these “religious” liars continue to be rewarded with riches, power and fame.


Thank you for listening and aiding us in our hour of desperate need, and, as always too, please feel free to write me at [email protected] with any comments/questions/suggestions, and remembering to put ATTN: BRIAN in the subject line.
All the best folks,

May Refuses to Publish Brexit Deal Legal Advice
Theresa May has refused for over a week to post the legal review of the Brexit agreement she signed. Instead she posted allegedly "sufficient" excerpts on which Parliament could make a decision.

According to the Guardian, the excerpts "will be sufficient information for any MP to make up their mind on the legal aspects of the deal before the upcoming five-day debate, and that it keeps to the protocol that full advice is seen as confidential between lawyer and client."

Thus, Trump made an educated guess. And he guessed correctly. Because the leaked document proves May is a bald-faced liar.


Leaked Document
Here is the Complete Withdrawal Agreement leaked document.
I salute the person responsible for the leak.


Damning Assessment of May's Lies
BrexitCentral offers this assessment: Leaked Commons legal analysis of Brexit deal vindicates Trump, contradicts May and adds to Brexiteers’ concerns.
The Government is already on the rack over its refusal to publish the legal advice provided on the Brexit deal by Attorney General, Geoffrey Cox, despite a parliamentary motion ordering it to be done. But ministers now face further questions as it emerges that a confidential analysis of the Withdrawal Agreement by the House of Commons’ own expert legal team comes to the same conclusion as President Trump – that Theresa May’s Brexit deal would prevent the UK from entering trade deals with countries such as the US.


The bombshell is contained in a 27-page legal note prepared by the House of Commons EU Legislation Team, which is headed by Arnold Ridout, its Counsel for European Legislation. A highly respected specialist in EU Law, he has previously worked for the EC Commission’s Legal Service and advised the European Secretariat of the Cabinet Office and prior to taking up his current role in 2014, he was Deputy Legal Adviser to the House of Lords EU Select Committee.
The note – marked ‘not for general distribution’ and obtained by BrexitCentral – is dated 26th November and states that the UK-EU customs union which would come into effect if the backstop is triggered “would be a practical barrier to the UK entering separate trade agreements on goods with third countries”.

This is in direct contradiction to the Prime Minister who has insisted that her deal will allow the UK to have an entirely independent trade policy.
The legal note also appears to suggest that the Prime Minister’s claim (also repeated last Monday) that her deal “takes back control of our laws” by ending “the jurisdiction of the European Court of Justice in the UK” with “our laws being made in our Parliament, enforced by our courts” does not entirely stand up to scrutiny.

Another section in the document which caught my eye concerns what happens when the proposed Joint Committee (of representatives of both the EU and UK) which supervises the Withdrawal Agreement and the backstop cannot reach a consensus on certain issues:
“Both UK and EU are represented on the Joint Committee, so no decision may be made without the UK’s agreement. This may not be the same thing as the two parties having equal power, as the aims of the parties will matter. If the Joint Committee is unable to reach a decision, in some circumstances, that will block next steps. The party that wants those next steps to occur, will then be at a practical disadvantage. By way of example, i) the Joint Committee sets the limits of state aid that can be authorised by the UK for agriculture. If limits are not agreed, state aid may not be authorised.”

In other words, in those circumstances the UK would not be free to set levels of subsidy for UK agriculture, but the EU would remain free to adjust its Common Agricultural Policy however it liked. EU products would therefore have open access to the UK market via the customs union, while Brussels could stop us subsidising agriculture at all unless it was agreed in the Joint Committee.

Lies Exposed
With that, May's lies are exposed to all in full view. Was she that stupid to think this was a good deal? Was she that stupid to think this would not be exposed?

Oversold In An Oversold Market: What Happens Next?
https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-kmvpIpYT1...onclusions.jpg
I've been interested to see a number of bearish stories about the stock market in recent days. Somehow these stories were missing when we were trading close to the highs. But the assumption seems to be that because we've seen weakness in stocks, oil, high yield bonds, etc., we are in danger of an outright bear market.

Maybe.

Sometimes that happens.

But is that truly a trade-worthy idea?

Yesterday, we saw fewer than 10% of all stocks in the SPX average trading above their three-day moving averages. The market is broadly weak in the short run. Interestingly, when we look at how the SPX stocks are trading relative to their 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, and 200-day moving averages, well fewer than 50% are trading above those benchmarks. So we're very oversold on a short-term basis in a market that is also oversold on a medium and longer-term basis. (Data from the excellent Index Indicatorssite).

It turns out that this configuration has occurred 46 times since 2010. Ten days later, the SPX has been up 33 times and down 13 times for an average gain of over +1.63%. Many of the losing instances clustered in the 2011 period when we had some prolonged weakness. Similarly, when we take the data back to 2006, losing instances clustered in 2008/2009, so that there was a positive return over the next day or two from 2006-2009, but actually a negative average return over the following ten days.

There is a subtle but important lesson here. The human tendency is to make an assumption about whether we are in a bull or bear market and then extrapolate expectations on that basis. A better use of the data is to recognize that the kind of pullback we've seen is historically a very good buying opportunity in all but significant bearish periods. If we do not see a sustained bounce as we walk forward day over day, we can update our thinking to increase the odds that perhaps we're in the throes of a bear. Conversely, if we see sustained buying, we can question the bear thesis as we walk forward.

Rational traders and investors operate in a Bayesian manner. They start with a researched base case founded on experience and then keep an open mind, modifying the odds of their base case as new data emerge. For them, conviction is a process, not something we have or don't have.

The Psychology of Trading Without the Ego
https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-od9JJ1XBU...320/EgoDog.jpg
A surprising amount of poor trading comes from trading our egos, not from actually trading markets.

When we focus on predicting market moves and trading our views with conviction, trading rapidly becomes a game of the ego.

When we declare that we have a certain trading "style" and we wait for market conditions to accommodate our style, trading becomes ego-based.

When we obsessively watch screens and focus on each move of P/L, trading turns into an ego game.

We can use every technique under the sun to instill discipline and overcome emotions, but if we pursue trading through the ego, we will be vulnerable.

An analogy I've used in my books is the good dancer on a dance floor. The good dancer doesn't just dance his or her style regardless of the music playing. The good dancer does not start dancing ahead of the music, anticipating the next tune. The good dancer waits for the music to start, catches the beat and tone, and dances accordingly.

In my recent trading, I've been taking ego out of the picture. I examine a stable lookback period in the recent market and identify two things:

1) Has there been a dominant trend over that period?
2) Have there been one or more dominant cycles over that period?

If I can detect no clear trend or cycles, I don't trade.

If there is no trend, but a dominant cycle, I trade the hypothesis that this cycle will continue into the immediate future unless I see clear changes in market volume, volatility, news events, etc. That has me buying prospective cycle lows and selling highs. In that regime, I look like a value trader.

If there is a distinct trend, but no clear cycle, I use the first pullbacks/bounces in the NYSE TICK to enter and ride the trend, again unless I see clear evidence of changes in the market's trading. In that regime, I look like a momentum investor.

If there is a distinct trend *and* one or more dominant cycles, then I am using the cycles to guide entries and exits in the direction of the trend. In that regime, my execution is counter-trend (value), but the overall idea is trend-based (momentum).

We suffer when we expect markets to trade the way *we* want them to trade. There are valuable tools that help us identify cycles and trends. That enables us to enjoy the market's dance music--and profit from it.

Good day fellow traders on Forex Factory. I have been trading Forex for over 10 years now and with the incredible movements on a monthly basis which has been caused by the intervention efforts of the world's central banks trading today is much different trading before 2008. Thus RISK MANAGEMENT must be a priority for any serious forex currency trader. You should never RISK more than 5% of your trading capital on any one trade plan. I also strongly suggest that you never trade more than 20% of your total trading capital at anytime. Example - If you are trading $50,000 in US Funds NEVER have more than 20% or $10,000 US Dollars on your various trade plans always using the 5% rule for risk on each trade plan being used.

The Money Flow Trading Method is based each trading day on Risk On or Risk Off which means are the markets heading down or heading up. I use the DOW to determine this each day. When the markets head down and we have Risk Off the money flows into US Dollars first and then the money is parked usually into US Bonds so the bonds go up and the yield goes down. Money also flows to USD/JPY. I will give more explanations when the forex markets reopen on Sunday. If you have any comments or questions please post them on this thread. Tomorrow we have two important events the most important being the referendum in Italy.

The results will move the markets whichever result we see. This is a Fundamental Fact and that combined with Technical Indicators as to Support and Resistance along with investor perception of the meaning of the results short term will lead the direction of the market. I will be thinking of going short on USD/JPY depending on the results of course and Risk being off.

Good Morning Fellow Traders which includes men and women. This morning I will talk about GOLD which is also a currency and the safest store of value in the world and has been for 5000 years. It is no person's debt and it is a store of value. However in many ways SILVER is the better store of value since there is a shortage of silver in the world and as an investment using the ratio during 1980 when Gold was over $800 US and Silver was at $50 US for a ratio of 16 to 1.

When money flows into US Bonds and US Dollars and other currencies it also flows into hard assets such as copper and zinc however Gold and Silver are also currencies. If anyone would like to discuss this further please register with Forex Factory so we can communicate if you are not a member at present time. Have a great Sunday and by 5 PM EST we should have the exit poll results on the Italian Referendum.

Edit to add a good resource site concerning Gold. https://www.bullionstar.com/blogs/koos-jansen/

Before I do any FX currency trade I always develop a Trade Plan as previously explained. So my Trade Plan will be to SHORT (Sell) 3 $100,000 US Dollar contracts of USD/JPY in 3 stages. My first trade will be my base trade and my MAXIMUM LOSS would be 100 PIPS or $1000 US Dollars. My second position when opened would also have a ENTERED STOP LOSS of $1000 US Dollars and so would my third and LAST position. With this strategy my MAXIMUM loss is $3000 US Dollars or 3% of my trading capital. After I enter the 3 positions I will print out a updated statement in Real Time so we all can follow along.

Again if you are a member of Forex Factory all feedback or questions are welcome and appreciated. If you are not registered as a member please register so that you can participate in this thread and other threads of course. Thank You !!!
