OQ...

I believe a while back you asked if I measured, distance between moving averages, or something along them lines. Not sure if you ever made it back through some of my older charts, and to be honest, I can't even remember if I ever got around to responding to that question...

But as a chart guy, something I am sure you will appreciate, and might even be of some use in your new bots is the frequency of movements measured by a simple 20x200EMA cross at either 100-200 pips.

I have several charts previously posted, as well as I am sure you can do the same and track back on the USD x pairs (most specifically cable and EU), how well counters and ATR can be measured under this simplistic idea.

If nothing else, ya gotta admit, it is kinda kewl...

Heh...

Pretty relentless. Half a point last hour, half of that in about 10 minutes just before (EUR shows you where).

Interesting. Bit of a strange time for that, no? I suppose anytime is a good time, as far as the market is concerned, but just looking at the clock, what was going on around then? Just coming up to Moscow open, yeah...or were they open already?

Hmmmmmm.

With nobody wanting to take CIBC swaps (evidently from LIBOR spreads last week), fundies (not to mention oil and the whacking that AUD's taking) look like they approve of "make."

Was strange. Came on pretty fair volume, too. Somebody's in the office early somewhere.

To find this level on DX you have to go back to June, and it was a blow up topping day. USD's the only risk off game in town and it looks like a lot of folks want to play.

Indeed. Watching 77.90ish for possible resistance there.

Still room for another few lashes or 10 before we get there.

Flipper's going to sell this at 19; I'm going to watch that and then go to bed.

Or buy it at 34.

Pop in the bonds pulled 34 off.

PoS correlation logic.
