And yes dont for a second think that price is not moved to a point just before these major release where a killing can be made. that is to say, if numbers are gonna be bad, I would move it as high as posible in the other direction so that I can make a killing. If you saw my USD-YEN call a few days ago when they dropped it dead and then picked up 250 pips in 24 hours you will know what I mean.
Its all in the mind.

technically it is possible, it has been wanting to break that from some days now. so it could. If I was so sure, I would bet all my account on the short ATM with a stop at 6636.

But real question is does anyone wanna buy it at this level? Do I want to be long GU at 6520 when the USD GDP is just hours away? I think that is too much exposure. SO best will be to either stay out or go short as close as possible to the 6600 resistance. if you lose then you dont lose big.
Let I ask you an question about US GDP as you said ok.

There are two scenarios that it may be good news or bad news. I personally think it is good. So Could you tell me How the market (GU in this case) work out with each scenario as your views?

Thanks.

Have no idea what is the calculation but one thing I know it does work good you can see that I didn't folow my strategy the darma open and price stay above so I should hae close my short with a small profit and reverse long for at lease to the high of the day as a profit target that is what the darma was telling me but I dindn't listen to him

it give you the short direction rigth a the close of the day and if the market keep going well you are on the rigth side.

Okay, lot of people think that when News is good USD will strenghthen. That is also right, but generally when news is such that it puts US in a better position. For example a news that says US will be recession free sooner than other nations will benefit USD.

But other good news like a good US GDP means people start taking more risks-so at these times I would be rather short on USD and long on higher yielding currencies/investements. But when US comes out with bad news, people will stock pile on USD and JPY. These are safe haven currency. Reserves are held in these notes so they are best bets for recessions etc.

Actually, move your stop just a little higher, I'd LOVE to see this get to 6550 where I can load a couple BIG lots in before she dives to 6300 and beyond.....


Currently short 6520. Looks like I may get my wish after all...

Excuse the ignorance of this newbie question but its really doing my head in: from what time does everyone take a day trading GU in order to calculate pivot points. I was just doing midnight to midnight BST (ie rolling 24 hours) but wonder whether it should be based on just London or NY opening hours.

Your help is very much appreciated.

i see it's closing higher and higher on each candle on M 30 and H 1

two things i see either kill all the longs guys which might be 70% correct
and then wait to drop like a bomb shell to kill this guys


or it could be a sure sign of shorting ( which i really hope its the real sign)

Thanks for the speedy response.

Just a thought, is there any sense/usefulness in re-calculating daily pivots for London market and then US market?

(PS you seen cable. long, short, long, short. which way??)

(PPS I'm staying out and going to bed 3am in London)

This is also a forex thing that is apparent but still hidden. Forex is not really "Open" 24X7. See what the most active sessions are. I would say 2 AM EST to may be 1 PM EST. After that it is just lackadaisical.

World markets still sing the NYSE TUNE (thoguh this recession has seen major moves in asian session too), so it is more logical to calculate pivots based off newyork close. other things are like triple interests on wednesdays are paid basedoff 5 PM EST etc. but you may try the 3 major sessions and see which ismore accurate. US pivot work well for me

Btw where is richladyFX? Did she switch forums or won the lotto?

I just closed half my shorts at -26 pips because I just have a feeling this is headed up past 1.660. Nothing to prove on the charts....just a feeling.

Look at USD / JPY. USD is getting weaker and weaker.

Hello,
Question to you, is it going against your system to short above pivots. I mean its doing higher lows on 1h and ascending triangle. I am not confident top short even though I fully understand the resistance here.
Thanks
