It would've been better if they came out and screamed "We are desperate, please stop selling euros, for Christ sake!"

Hi fti,

Anything is possible, they have "groupware" these day's from the beach house.

And for the record,
your not the only one with bad real estate bets, opps I mean exposure.
-Set me back a bit too.

Re; your question of last week fiasco. I'm not sure, LDN and NY boys need an out. They may just try slowing it down.

Good trading, and God bless.
yeah, read you.
Watch the that yield curve closely.
esp long yields.if not contango , then funding could be by press. Should be very steep contango by now.

Thanks Lusan. Keeping this in mind - The Basic tenets of Dow Theory:

1. The Averages Discount Everything (except "Acts of God"). I believe this is the basis for fti's "Three Kingdoms". They are used as the "Averages".

2. The Three Trends: The Primary Trends (generally lasting over a year), The Secondary (Intermediate) trends (lasting months) and the Minor Trends (lasting days and weeks).

We generally trade the minor trends in our daily short sword battles. The spiral within spiral.

I believe the secondary and primary trends are other...
zoran i cam to the very same conclusion too.
which was why i got attracted to fti's teaching, i was studying the dow theory a long time ago back in oct 07 and was basically trading on such basis

http://www.forexfactory.com/showthread.php?t=52631

BUT i could not find how the law of averages work in fx until i met fti's 3 kingdoms! It was then i started to re-look and try to determine what fti meant by the spirals, and concluded that its basically the trends within trends. well thats what i could vaguely gather. That was how i concluded that rescues take longer due to the fact that you need to retrack to larger trend spirals and attacks could be swift (like lusan's style) due to you playing out the smaller spiral.

of course the rest is mm, which is touche. hehe

Reading the above and going back to the three kingdoms, we are trading currency pairs. What is the neutral currency? How do we hedge?

In the Tunnel book, Robert went on to buy wheat and corn alongside cotton. Hedging?
nowadays, i do it with sgd and options.

as none of you know how price the options fair, you will be overpaying for sigma and hist. volatility.

its counterproductive.

just like how gann traded.
his initial cotton trades took long to come into the money
Was that by design? His first letter to Kennelworth dated Jan 28th specified that he was looking to square his cotton in early April about in 60 days. Kennelworth bought cotton Feb. 2nd

I'm not sure the timing specified in the book is consistent with Ganns actual trading.

The book is not real accounts of anything. It is written in parallel to his life experiences. The lesson given there are fictitious and not real trades.His accounts are meant to highlight certain information about trading. Embedded is a love story. But the lessons contains the essentials of real trading skills. If you look at Ganns documented trading. It is fast and furious. not in days or weeks.and they not relates to any planetary positionings.
The skills set and mindset training is given but crypted to be deciphered by understudies. In different frames of thoughts , people will see different perspectives. To a true trader , with some experience, the messages should be clear.

The short euro cables will be legging out their positions.
The front leg is cable, The back leg is euro.

short euro/cable need cut otherwise when the plan completes , they may be in very painful positions.

Yes one can definitely go down the rabbit hole too far in regards to Gann and trying to find hidden meanings.
