this is whale accumulation zone... any stop hunts under 1.1080 have been bought up, but i agree that it can go lower, just not my cup of tea to short...

of course we can still make another to 1.1065, if it dumps to 1.1040/30 pretty sure it will be a stop hunt and sharp reversal

vol hasnt been this low for a month so be careful

Thanks RagRich,,, since it has not made to 1.1065.. that is why I want to keep shorting this.....I seldom long Euro due to carry costs.... but I may try 1040/30 for longs..... I plan to build a short list all the way to 1230 if bulls can make it before ECB meeting on 12th next month (??)...spread my positions along.... I just look up my YTD stat, only 387, 15% trades I am long Eur.. 2,053 , 85% trades I am shorting ...that proved it that I am not fond of long Euro..

I am not that smart ..I don't know much about bonds ..you are shorting 30 year bond ??...I see banks and hedge funds currently net short 65.1k on Aug 20 COT report... so you are on the same side as big players.....good luck...

Same, very rare to see globex action like that. Closed my long and went short, but holding bonds short

Will very likely buy any dips though in the SPX, as a bond sell off will confirm risk on and this could run.

Gold is almost ready to dump too, more confirmation of risk on.

AUD is responding though, just taking a while for people to realize

Got an entry with no draw down, see where it goes

6772 or 6818


Everything responded in perfect correlation honestly, its nice to see

Gold selling off now

yes we will see how it goes. but there is a lot of room for AUD GOLD ... to go up and still be atractive to short.

I am not saying that is al bs on Twitter but anithing will take time. . also above 2900 - 3000 begins to be atractive for short even to keep it for a while


September will be volatile for sure

That is another large spread trade I have on...

Shorting gold with AUD$

I actually got a 2 mil entry at 3024.25 and held it most of the way

Lets doooooo it again, one of my best trades, drawdown was ~$2000


It is very surprising that the market is so buoyant, but it could be the calm before the storm, many have these 3100 targets, political theory says a dump will come near the election, we shall see where the market is at that point

I thought the gbp would be more voiltile and drop quicker. Well before protest. I thought it would weigh on euro also. So far, not so much.. https://www.theguardian.com/politics...end-parliament
