{quote} below 0980 has a minefield bears need to pass. Some decent 11xx bounces may be within a tightening range. 09xx/12xx. Bearish into support. Compressing like a tube of toothpaste as the top weighs. {image}

It's interesting. I've done a lot of business with LMAX over the years. They are an exchange, a venue connecting to top tier 1 banks as well as other brokers/funds. The problem is the fact that they offer STP access to tier1 liquidity, does not prevent them from making a market and setting prices. I would call it "brokering activities", in which a small arbitrage opportunity exists in the form of slippage (to the client) between the quotes given to the client and the tier 1 prices available. If you're happy with the fills, continue to use, else shop around. But unless you're a bank yourself, it's all much the same.

Bears just nailed it. My 1001 buy hit SL. Closed at 0979. However, I still hold sells from 1009.

Gator, what do you think of tomorrow? It has been a one-sided week. Down only. Do you think some surprise recovery will happen tomorrow? I don't like this dump before NFP. Dump and pump?

{quote} Above worked out ok for last month. New numbers for Feb. .. the thing for February is not as easy to call. I have a bug on my month.. the levels came in too far out of whack.. the nearest levels it has is 1.2624 and 0.7124. I think this is wrong (too far/wide away). So I will go for the week #s. The highest week # is 1120.9. other levels are lower. 1076, 1049, 0995, 0968, and 0923 eu.. Since 1120 is the higher on the week. Pa may not go much above it. I can say the same for 0923 on the lower end. {image}
I fixed my month numbers to attached post. The lowest one is 1.0967. Pa usually won't go too much past this number in February. I know the flu can change all we know. But be sure pa passes this and the large trendline posted in that earlier chart. Good for February only. 1.0967 is on the opposite scale as January's 1213. One can see it held. Checking posting time stamp can see what happend after.

February numbers on chart. The lowest on the rung at 1.9067.. Its a big number, pa can go below some. But it's usually an area pa dont stray far from. I dont know how far, may 20/40 ish pips may contain it. Admittedly, it's never been tested in front China's pandemic.

I'm bearish as one can get personally. But I dont want to overlook 1.0967 area.
