MNI - 9/11/2008 1:13:00 PM - DOLLAR INDEX

DOLLAR INDEX: Techs from Stone and McCarthy`s Michael Sacchitello; The dollar remains in a "mega-overbought" situation where price and oscillators both overstay their welcome after long-term downtrends decompress. Although recent COT extremes support gold and resist the dollar this information can often come with a lag. For now don`t fight the trend but be ready to adjust expectations below 79.00.

Bon jovi trainee-billionaires !

Just sold my oil and mining shares then bought similar but even better companies in the same sectors. This crystallizes my losses to set against my realised profits for the year - thus wiping out my tax liability while maintaining my sector positions

Carrying current losses though - so come on the world and get busy ! They have stopped making uranium/copper/oil so I should get a nice return within 3 years or so - if not , sod it, I will buy a cottage in Cornwall and fly my kite every day and flick pebbles at basking sharks

ok lets get to grips with forex

I refuse to go against the trend - I know there will be significant retraces, but I see these as a selling opportunity when they have run their course rather than a high probability retrace trade

My days of trying to be clever and ride the retracements (either way) are long over

At least with trend following, you can get your money back eventually as long as the trend sticks, even if the retrace carries on further than estimated


The whole ethos behind forex trading is that trends are not transient and carry on for months or years. If we lose sight of that then what can we hang on to ? technical analysis ? ok up to a point - but in reality, all we have is the trend and the only technical analysis which is absolutely crucial, is detecting when the LONG TERM trend has changed

ok I look at the hourly or daily charts - anyone confused as to what the trend is ?

Back in Yorkshire for a week next Wednesday after 3 flights....

been in Washington state since April and it has rained once for half an hour !

Can't ride my motorbike as it is 107 degrees in summer, then there is a one month window and then its 20 below !

Last winter I was in central Florida and it was boring, and expensive, but lovely weather and lots of birds and animals. There is nothing here in the desert. Saw a starling and some migratory robins yesterday but I have been here 6 months and out in the country every day and I haven't seen a rabbit or a squirrel and only a couple of sparrows - just deer, equally bored and trying to throw themselves in front of my car to end it all. Deserts bad, greenery good. In Florida I had 10 squirrels which ate out of my hand - I trained em to sit up in between trading sessions and each had a name. I had a five foot tall egret which met me at the door and i gave it bits of tuna out of my sandwich.

Yep I think it's going to be Florida

Blackburn, Lancashire has seen the last of me after that 6 month stint there last year - never again under any circumstances - I won't even drive through it - that is the pits of the world and I have been all over. It makes Bradford, Yorkshire look like the garden of eden (which it ain't). In Blackburn, the only fish and chips are from Chinese restaurants who fry it in the same oil as spring rolls !!! Bring back hanging for that - but not lesser crimes like murder !

Funny, I'm going back home to the states in a few weeks. (first time in two years) Going to Florida to see my sister and then a few other states to see other relatives. All ready looking forward to my return trip back to Switzerland. I just love it here. (it's not really vacation when you have to see family)

passed thru bottom part of switzerland on my way to south of france on my motorbike - they charged me a year's road tax on my motorbike and i was only in the country a couple of hours ! Swiss financial wizards indeed.

I have had it with big city england, but watching basking sharks in cornwall last year was beautiful as is north yorkshire

right - off to get my dosh out of WAMU just in case the FDIC take their time freeing up funds !

hey everyone!... hope all had a good day on the charts... wonder if anyone is setting up right now for anything? I see potential Long if it passes 8MA. Then adventually setting up for another short to test bottom. Key for my would be making sure to find a good exit spot before the weekend seeing that market openings after the weekend have been a 50/50 stab.
Lets do this...
