What just happened?

The US Commerce Dept has just announced its going to institute tariffs on Chinese imports in repsonse to exporter subsidies provided by China. We haven't seen the exact percentages yet, but this represents a 20-year break in US trade policy and potentially a watershed in US/Chinese trade relations. The obvious impact is going to be felt in USD/JPY which is already collapsing under the weight of JPY cross longs exiting.

Of course I was in, Remember what I said this morning.........To keep your eye on a huge breakout. I thought short, however, if you charted the short term triangle on the 5 minute chart before the news, it wouldn't have mattered. This is what you would have seen....

Now Im like a Vulcher, picking up the scralps on the retracement of the EURO. LOL

P.S. You would have had to wait for it, ( 2 1/2 hours ), but 120 pips is well worth it.

No Alberto, I am only humble one. My God is the Man, I'm just using the tools he gave me and the learning that I get from Duck, Phil, Tam, Pips and all those that have been so unselfish here in this room for me and others. This was easy, and anyone could have caught it. I learned this during a course on trading the news. They happen a lot, sometimes they are ascending, descending or symetrical triangles, sometimes they are parallel or angular equidistant channels but they all have one thing in common. They are drawn on a 1 or 5 minute time frame. Its like the springs in the old windup toys that as you wind them they get smaller and smaller and tighter and tighter but never distort. Then they get to the point where they break one way or another, quickly test the back of the trend line and there off. And sometimes you get a little more than you bargain for, like today with that unexpected news. Cool stuff, isn't it. Most would straddle this channel and suffer the loss of all the slippage, I, on the other hand, have another way. I usually do it on the Euro since the spread when I get in is only 2. I get in both ways at the same time, this way while everyone else is fighting the slippage and stressing out on the whipsaw, I calmly wait until the price finds a direction, ( In this case after it breaks long) Then I exit the opposite trade. It worked for me today and it works great for non-farm and I will be using it next Friday. I have NEVER had a losing trade doing it this way and I don't get greedy. KNOCK ON WOOD.

By the way: Anyone check out that 150 pip morning star on the GBP/USD at the close.

Phillip,

I have just arrived at my house and the 1st thing I did was listen to your wrap-up. This have been said by a lot of the trders that visit this forum, but I want to say it again: THANK YOU.

I really appreciate the effort you put into this forum. I only hope that one day I will be able to give back what i have received here from you and from other fellow traders.
You are giving not only knowledge...but most importantly, hope.

I wish you were right about "anyone could have caught this move." I was short on the eur/usd after US positive news...was actually up about 15pips...had my s/l and t/p set. Then I had to go run an errand, when I got back it was surprise, surprise...my s/l had been taken out!

Good job to you however, enjoy your weekend and profits!

Once I've finished learning your system, I'm going to combine it with what I have learnt on James16!
If it's too good to be true, it probably is.

Will be very interesting to see how this affects (effects?) the market.....should be an interesting week ahead!
