Hi Lusan,
Why are you happy that he bulls are back,

The USD bears are in town again. Whether to stay? I don't know.
Or is it one night show only , we will know soon.

Do you have a pack with them or something.?

As traders we must be ronin, go where the money is.

regards
Ronin, that sounds so cool.

16:12 EUR/USD: Pavlov's Traders Rule Roost
Thin Markets Boost Vol New York, August 4th. Short staffed interbank FX teams have their work keeping up with the flow as thin liquidity on "the toys" makes it difficult to parcel flow. Traders complain that doing "30 units" in whatever major consists of a stream of ones and twos coming back, as algos provide light liquidity. The drop in oil that caught everyone off guard and squeezed a few shekels out of the P&Ls of the market makers is thought to have been aggravated by those same algos, so Pavlov's traders are in charge as thin summer markets force traders on the defensive.

EUR/USD collapsed from 1.5605 to 1.5566 but has recovered to 1.5570/75. RSI on the hourlies is in neutral, hourly oversold Bollingers 1.5535/45; overbought 1.5605/20 - the 5-day composite M/A is up at 1.5609 and when spot hit its 1.5630 peak it registered double the recommended overbought Bollinger setting, 4.0. Oil still looks weak, and the EUR is therefore still vulnerable, 1.5566 last. [email protected] /rs

Because I was not paying attention to the news...I forgot...so I became a real PIG...reverted got some profit....then reverted again...the bull brought back 50 % of my losses...

Learned 2 lesssons: (1) Patience and (2) no to fall in love with analysis; trade the bloody thing...

you did good...yes, daily said go south, but 5M said "I do not know. I go north for a while"..."I did not listen and I panicked." So here I am humbled one more time...still I will fight.... I think the samurai fought with the belief that today they will die, so they forfitted their life...Not a bad idea... I forfitted my account.

I am dollar bull
Hey Lusan,
That type of thinking can cripple you financially.
Fight wisely.
Didn't you learn anything from my last USD bear episode.
Go with the flow, my friend, except don't be a pig too often.
Once a while , well I guess we are human.
Don't do it for greed though.

Today was difficult, even for me. See how I had to "turn on wind".
One second late, And I would hve been road kill. But see when the ryhtym is there, its smooth as silk.

So don't go do seppuku just cos....

the flow?...Confusing news action...my economical analysis said..."hey, good for bulls"...news, looks like a no event...we return to the beginning of london open...so bulls, I think, are fighting hard

Hi Mr. G,
Thanks for the info.

For us , this is no summer holiday.
Do the best we can, not withstanding.
Fight tooth and nails , if we have to.

For me, gone are the days of corporation perks.
But I am blessed with freedom.

yes, I'll be trading Ny afternoon , gotta make the pips back,
But very cautious, as I have a skidding feeling.
Only market flow saved my behind today, I am getting rusty.

Hello fti,

is it normal protocol to always fight to get your pips back before end of trading day and this is how u teach your trainees as well? so, book doesn't fall behind too much in reaching a weekly target figure(??? - not sure of this at the banks as well)... or more of for mindset and habit conditioning.

anyway, love the running battles... adds another dimension to the learning... especially, in these weird market conditions...

Cheers,

gsfr,

fti is quite a different breed from most of us, maybe he's conditioned for years. He has already shown that he does take losses now and then but ui dont think anyone of us could beat him for stamina. I've read him fight for two days to even out his book. For us, im not sure if its remotely doable without burning out.

Lusan,

i dont think thats what FTI want you to think. He's just saying that USD/JPY dont have the momentum to surge upwards, it seeems to be stalling for some reason, to be short right now? I dont think anyone is tango-ing that way yet, less ur doinf nimble swing scalps.

Hi FTI & other smart contributors in this thread,

I've been reading a lot of threads on FF since late 2006 but I actually discovered this thread around mid December 2007 but paid little attention to it.
I eventually registered as a member on FF around March 2008. Ever since, I've been digging very deep into all that you've presented here (very complex stuff but I think a lot of people here don't realize this even the so called members - sorry !!!).
I'm a quiet person by nature and I always prefer to stay quiet to assimilate uptimally. However, it will be a great dis-service not to at least say THANK YOU for all that you've freely given and for you precious time share with all of us here.

Great stuff that will keep me busy in terms of thought process, analytical evaluation & research for the next 1-2 years.

FTI, Thank you, Thank you and Thank you.

Special regards,

Nuplanet

Hi Mr, G
I think its about trading to the edge, and pushing some more, Or something like that. I think this for yuppy dealers.
I'm not from that school of thoughts.
I'm more from "the book" school . "Make the book, the bottom line is king."
