Quoting Chantalb
Hello Shahab,
I am following your threads all the time and find them very informative. I am sorry to hear about your bad run yesterday, but I am certain you will make up for it.
[font=Calibri][size=3]I was wondering about the discrepancy I am encountering with the pivot levels. I mean I plotted your latest pivot indicators that you posted and still I can’t match your numbers. A while back, you gave a link to a website that calculated those levels; I can’t seem to find...
Hi Chantal, thanx for your comment, no bad run for yesterday, still holding the same gold shorts from yesterday it's never touched my sl, not yet.
how come you cant match my number? what are you using?

I posted two files

1-pivot points
2-pivot auto-weekly

1st one shows you daily pivot & s/r
2nd one shows you daily/weekly/monthly but you need to check them all on your indicator's option. take a look at it and let me know what is going on

btw here is the link , but I'm sure you can make the indi work, it works for everyone

are you saying that your daily candles close at different time?

30 pips for the moment.. not cashed in yet... and as I know myself I will end at BE if save it and I let it run. if I cash it in.. it goes further down...
So I can manipulate the market with my positions...
btw... My second E/G trade did come back down from +100.. and I closed it for +35
Did you have a look at my post from earlier today..? bunch of shorts on CAD/JPY and pretty unsure how to handle those now.
G'day Tuner, hope you still have that gold trade, it will start falling hard soon

Yes I am. left my initial SL --> good decision as it spiked back up there last night
So running it down now. Looks pretty nice already.
but going to save it at BE now I think and let it run..
btw..
Not trading gold that much... Is there a certain period ..after US close that Gold-spot is closed.. just for about 45 min or so.. never had a closer look at that before. it sometimes even gaps a little during that period of time lookin back at my charts.
What is that about?

EURUSD: forecast change
We change our forecast for EURUSD to 1.32 (prev. 1.35) in three months, to 1.38 (1.42) in six months and to 1.45 (1.53) in twelve months. The euro has still a good potential to rise once the worst uncertainties concerning Greece have been overcome. The upside is however limited by Greek challenges.
EURJPY, USDJPY: We change our forecasts
We change our three, six and 12-month USDJPY forecasts to 97, 100 and 105 respectively (previously 92, 97 and 105), and our EURJPY forecasts to 128, 138 and 152 from 124, 138 and 161. We think neither the inflation targeting regime nor the zero interest rate could be effective without a weaker JPY.
AUD, NZD: We change our forecasts
We change our three, six and 12-month AUDUSD forecasts to 0.94, 0.95 and 0.95 respectively (previously 0.90, 0.94 and 0.95). We also change our NZDUSD forecasts to 0.73, 0.76 and 0.76 from 0.70, 0.73 and 0.76 previously. We see more resistance ahead for the Aussie and Kiwi on stretched valuation.
GBPUSD, EURGBP: Forecast change
We change our forecast for GBPUSD to 1.56 (prev. 1.50) in three months, to 1.60 (1.56) in six months and keep the 1.70 in twelve months.
We change our EURGBP forecast to 0.85 (prev. 0.90) in three months, to 0.86 (0.91) in six months and to 0.85 (0.90) in twelve months.
CHF: Forecast change
We change our EURCHF forecast to 1.40, 1.38, 1.40 (previously 1.44, 1.42, 1.42) and USDCHF forecast to 1.06, 1.0, 0.97 (previously 1.07, 1.0, 0.93) for three, six and twelve months. We expect the SNB to tolerate a slightly stronger franc from June, due to the solid Swiss economic data.
USDCAD: Forecast change
We lower our USDCAD forecast to 0.96 in three months (prev. 1.00), 0.95 in six months (0.98) and 0.93 in twelve months (0.95). We expect the CAD to benefit from the more aggressive monetary policy tightening of the BoC compared to the Fed.

no way, a top is in place for this year ,the same for stocks , my only concern is gold, but that one will fall too. A/U is in a choppy falling mode like what happened to U/Chf Nov 08
A/u fall will accelerate soon, I sold again at .9231

keep my chart in mind ;-) the party has just started

Most definitely.

Its just a question of when rather than if. And also the path it takes from current level to reach 94. there are two possible ways:

1 - 9230 - 9130 - 9070 - 8950 - 9020 - 9190 - 9280 - 9330 - 9410
2 - 9230 - 9290 - 9330 - 9410

Obviously I'd much rather prefer 2nd option because my broker will go bankrupt if we go via 1st route.

Every single currency is tanking against US$ except for AUD. Why would you short AUD? Why would you fade trend of such a massive fundamentally strong currency? why would you keep hitting your S/L?

Imagine if AUD can survive this massive storm, when risk party is full on, where would we be???

BTW - I am still waiting for that cheque

As for interest rate - they will go UP again next week. 80% probability.

Wow, looks like the one day storm is over. Reminds me of that rain you get in Florida and then 15 minutes later it's hot and sunny again. And we've got green US futures at the moment.

Yeah, can't deny that it broke and closed above the recent highs yesterday on USDX. And it's gonna take a lot to turn this stunning weekly candle around.

Bloomberg are saying that investors just used the "Greece and Portugal" excuse to take some money off the table and they are expecting the indices to rally back. I guess they've got to put their money somewhere
