if u want to trade with swap. look for reasons to take these trades. If you want to put the odds in your favor. Trade these as pa and trend dictate in the direction of the best swap. https://forexop.com/?s=eursgd

{quote} I have a libre pattern ending up on 0926. The harmonics there i don't trust except the shark. The purple butterfly you refer to has a broken right wing. The retrace in the wing is bigger then BC. This is what the libre pattern looks like: {image} In the same area there is this shark. Cons: there is no AB projection. Pro's: levels are ok and there is a 161.8 reciprocal and nice shape Shark entry: 0921 (+ spread) {image} I have no levels lower then this. If either works 1.13 might well happen. Even though our friends over here are bearish,...
libra pattern good. my purple pattern works too I use different parameters

here is more confluence on the daily (blue bat) and 1h crab

I favor green pattern on the weekly but pa could tag both and take off with oomph
if these last two work out then 1.15 and 1.17 are on the table.

I think you may be right.
This is called a 'nen star'.
it has no reciprocal but all levels are correct.

zooming out to weekly, its close to the 78.6 fib. (0815)
it might become point B of a butterfly.
i like it when there is a reason for a pattern.
It gives the opportunity to get really long term positions.

the next fib down (88.6 @ 0619) would be more bullish because it could make a bearish gartley @ 3211 or even a bat @ 5384.
while the butterfly would stay below 2555

(edit: is not written in stone, just for reasoning.)

{quote} Since many were treated, yet 1/3 died. it appears worse than bubonic so far. Let's hope they can stop it. And the 1/3 fatality rate decreases. {image}
Fatality rate is still about 1/3. (roughly 36%) of known cases... Death rate has not decreased yet. Medical intervention has not shown improvement yet, in the numbers. Who knows if the numbers are real. Some of the sick may be unable to seek medical attention. Unknown death cases may be above 36%. I hope they can get a handle on this soon.

you can add the negative and positive together. That is the swap spread. the wider may be the better to trade off s/r if the trend concurs the same direction.

you may want to see what your broker charges. But in general you want the entire market on your side.


Example, chf is paying X for longs, and negative X for shorts. That spread is the difference in holding a long verse a short. The bigger the spread increases your chances if in trend direction. It's much harder to hold a usd/chf short over time than a usd/chf long. So when it retraces lower. Try to find a place to enter long. In several places with wide entries (never overleveraged) Find these gems.

1.0925 usd/chf in the next few years (months ?) at current rates looks viable. Wild card is Mnuchin labeling Swiss as a currency manipulator. Next hurdle is to close a week above .9999 and month 1.0140

i disagree, the vitality rate is 815 / (815 + 2990) = 0.214
This is about 1 in 5. Earlier this was 1 in 3.

Also before it doubled in 4 days. in the past 6 days it did not double yet.

But i agree that the information we receive might not be true.
By the time we receive the real number might be millions in which case there may be a world wide panic/food rush.

hard to trust the numbers
i understand there are 400M in lock down from 1.4 billion people
First the number of being lock down in towns is immense

So 2 points

1 - data with serious cases and deaths is not true. and things are very dangerous.
2 - if data is true things would not be so serious so you shut down cities because you cannot say on a 800 deaths from 400 million things are looking terrible in a month since it means 0.0002%
Rule No.1: Never lose money. Rule No.2: Market is always right !
