wooooaaah duuuude, you just blew my mind holmes.
*L* ok down the road a piece. it takes more euros to buy a loaf of bread. so they start raising rates... because of inflation.... this kills industry...meanwhile in u.s. we buy more u.s. cars or korean... for 1/3 the price of a beamer.. less exports for e-z.. plus higher credit rate kills e-z domestic sales.. so they have to cut the price on vehicles to be able to sell them..less car sales ect. ez is in trouble.. at least tourism will pick up once u.s. jobs are stable in a few years (decade)
. oh and europe will have a for sale sign on it.. something has to give.. ez cant print money.. so what will they do? divorce? fight and divorce? stay tuned..
those who can, do. those who cant, talk about those who can

You are taking it too serious...dude...I was joking....
No I wasn't serious ...... was just trying to tell you that I visited your beautiful country and met very nice people. It is in fact one of the countries where I could live happily everafter my retirement.

My crystal ball is broken, but I'd say that if the Nikkei sinks lower into the red and the E/J breaks 133.61, the Euro/Usd will follow...

Nice to know you Karma,

What sort of method do you use? I use a combination of 10m, 60m, 240m and daily charts... pretty standard stuff, but also focus on news that moves the markets.

Are you longer term trader or day trader? Typically, a day trader.

Trend follower? Usually. But, f I get a bug up my ass and think the rest of the world is wrong, I'll jump in front of the train and try to stop it and turn it around...

btw, welcome to forex factory

Nope. Thought Karma summed up trading... "the sum total of one's actions, good or bad."

Really interesting. Do you know how that type of strategy works over the longer term? I mean, does that symmetry type stuff show up a lot and happen the way you think it will?

Looks interesting. I've never seen that type of geometry before applied to charts.

Thinking about it, I guess the first thing you'd want to do, during the transitional period from an established circle to a theoretical circle, is observe the PA trajectory to see if it was headed to the top or bottom of the new object. The next thing is that as PA starts to curve around the new circle, gather enough data to establish the size, then you could project the image and derive trades.

Maybe look for a standard deviation around the established median, and buy or sell based on any violations from the average. Or even easier buy the bottoms of circles and sell the tops.

US Dollar to Benefit as Europe Hits China With Steel Tariffs


Written by Ilya Spivak, Currency Analyst


European Union international trade officials caved to pressure from steel producers including ArcelorMittal, the world’s largest steelmaker by volume, to impose punitive tariffs on Chinese imports of the metal into the regional bloc, which they alleged were unfairly underpriced. The key difference between this step and other similar measures in the past is its pre-emptive nature: before, European firms had to first prove that unfair practices of other countries were hurting their business before any action would be considered. The tariffs, which range from 17.7% to 39.2%, will take effect in October and last for five years.


Policymakers’ willingness to oblige the steel sector will open the door for other manufacturers to ask for similar treatment, opening the door for China to retaliate with protectionist measures of their own targeting EU products. This dynamic is sure to crush the booming trade between the south Asian giant and the European continent, which has surged since China joined the World Trade Organization in 2001 and has been growing at a rate of about 18% per year according to the European Commission.


The US Dollar stands to benefit from the EU’s protectionist posture. China ranks second behind the States among Europe’s top trading partners, a fact that may not continue to hold true going forward. This makes China even more dependent on US demand than previously and adding to existing incentives for the Chinese government to buy US Dollar-denominated assets (i.e. Treasury bonds), thereby boosting the greenback and securing a favorable environment for Chinese exporters. Further, the timing of the EU’s announcement could not be worse for the Euro, coming just as China is holding bilateral talks with the United States on a range of issues including trade relations and opening the door for US officials to easily strike a contrast between the States and Europe.

Here's an updated version. I've tried to infer the size of potential circles using data already established, and from there you can infer a limited number of likely pathways for PA to take...

Notice that the first one is completely unlikely, and the next 4 all take PA to significantly lower levels than we are at now...
