So since no one answered, I ass u me that you don't know.

Many traders get caught, this way.

Here goes.

How to boil a frog live.
------------------------

Put frog in pot of cool water.
On the gas on small fire.
Turn on the heat SLOWLY, while allowing frog to accustom to new temperature.
By the 10 th increment of heating, the frog should be cooked, without a struggle.

make sense?

How to survive the boiling frog scenario.
-------------------------------------------

Look up the pot to see, observe ABnormalities. (3 kingdoms)
Jump pot if feeling heat.Esp when trading against trend.
You can always get back into the pot, after checking whats happening.

For trading - feel to check heat, and dance the dance, focus and keep abreast of market pulse.( Baby sit position and be observant.) Do not be rigid, be nimble.

Quick question regarding the 3 kingdoms (I'm sorry if I'm changing topic):
Do you give each one of them the same attention? Or to rephrase: has each of them the same importance to you?
For example USD/JPY out of sync is the same as GBP/USD out of sync?
The reason I'm asking is the fact that each of the pairs has a different percent out of the daily flow on money, which would imply that they also have a different weight:
- EUR/USD: 40-45%
- GBP/USD: 20-25%
- USD/JPY: 10-15%
I tend to watch EUR/USD and GBP/USD and eventually the EUR/GBP cross when searching for direction on the EUR/USD. USD/JPY doesn't seem to move EUR/USD so much.
Do I make any sense?

Thank you,
Daniel

They are all usd majors based against currencies,
So its the best gauge, on whats happening in the market.
All abnomalities will show.
And it should catch you attention, unless you were rigidly opinionated you must see it.no?

If you observed the adults, what can the child (derivatives crosses) tell you that the adult hasn't?

I normally agree with you, it's just that sometimes EUR/GBP goes all crazy and moves the market quite a bit. It's not often but it happens. Maybe because I trade mostly during European session.
