lots of talking heads on the tube. Some are saying 3 cuts this year for FED. Tariffs dont look to be helping global outlook.

A lot of guys have a bad day, even the big time citi dealer, the moves have not been expected...
so manage the risks...see this kind happens before.... sometimes it comes back with great return...

Once Asia sets a direction for Monday the whole day goes same direction. But about 90 pips without anything tangible but speeches? Fed voters have always made speeches, but they are not Powell. I guess this just wants the SLs. By the time this calms down the highest price today becomes the new resistance. Like Gator would say, daily close matters a lot.

Edit: 1200 is eough point for me to get my profit. Let's see how it goes.

LOL, when I saw the USD getting weak with the dovish speech, I realized your GU demand zone had held as you expected. Great work.

Almost 100 pips for the day. That used to be standard procedure back in the good old days.

Will be interesting to see if the Asians want to run those highs at 1264. It's already close.

when it takes out day # like week 1217 and dont almost immediately retrace. I get more cautious. I still have small position. I should have closed it to. I can always re-enter. I figured 1262/65 was the next shot.

{quote} first defence line on week 1213/17.. second 1262. week bearish close -1260. The bund/bond spread is tightening. 1213/17 slapdown may be softer. .. it was over 2.5.. now 2.33 {image}
it may be worth a few 1262/65.. dont fight it.. if it immediately drops. 1180 possible.. I wouldn't bet my lunch money on it. the first week line at 1217 didnt reject much..

Bad day. Stocks seem to be easier these days. Forex no longer guided by techs. Fauck it.

Today was a break of a low volatility range. Some strategies get hit hard on such days, best to stand aside and try not to fight against it.

In the paraphrased words of an immortal pop song, I fought the low and the low won.

Made a mint on Beyond Meat. Lost it all on EU shorts.

The second R in week range to be tested. worth about 24 pips atm. lets see what 1217 looks like from above.
