Nearly Naked (Simple Trades)

Good Trading Tuner!

If you think we may have topped out you should take half profit now and move the rest to B/E +10. At least that's what I would do!

You guys/gals have a great weekend! See you next week!

Thanks Marc,
That's what I did now. Half cashed in. Second half may either bring me BE + a few or a nice profit on new highs...
Next week we will see.

Nice weekend to you as well..
See ya!

Consciousness and The Aspects of Mind That Makes Consciousness Real and Tangible

Should you mention consciousness and ask the average person what it means, most will reply that it refers to an "awake state."

That's actually far more "true" than most comprehend. But being "awake" and being conscious go beyond walking around with our eyes open as we engage in the many physical activities that we perform each and every day.
In fact most engage in their day to day activities quite "unconsciously" and as a result "perceive" that life just delivers what it will. In the vast majority of cases, due to this "asleep with eyes wide open state", what life delivers is in more cases than not far less than desired and precisely why so many believe that getting what they want is hopeful or wishful thinking at best.
But it's not. Many are just "unknowingly and unconsciously" choosing that for themselves.
That's why it's so vital to become conscious of how you utilize your consciousness which clearly reveals how and why you experience whatever it is that you experience in your life.
Once you understand that consciousness...more specifically the quality of your consciousness is what determines every aspect of your life and you choose to direct and harmonize yours with what you want...you'll get it.
And it NEVER fails. In fact it CAN'T fail. Never has and never will.
So let's explore consciousness and how you can become "awake" to the power that you, I and everyone already has to begin creating and experiencing a kind and quality of life that you may have previously "perceived" as being unattainable for you.
The consciousness we'll be exploring in the upcoming paragraphs has much more to do with the creation of life...more specifically your life and the events, conditions and circumstances experienced in your life than being "awake" in the physical sense of the word.
It's literally the seed level from where life flows from.
It's my hope that the following will assist you in "truly awakening" to a much "Higher Truth" than most choose and through that understanding that you might begin experiencing the transformation in your own life that's made available and possible through "consciously choosing" to do so.
Let's begin by exploring "consciousness" at a deeper level...
Consciousness is the seed of all of creation. According to modern day scientists as well as the mystics, sages and masters since antiquity, consciousness is the omniscient, omnipresent, all pervasive substance...the essence if you will behind ALL existence both the seen and the unseen...the source of EVERY event, condition and circumstance experienced in your life individually as well as on a global scale.
To discover how to begin to ingeniously create your reality consciously, intentionally and purposefully is as simple and complex as choosing to awaken, enhance your awareness, and begin consciously utilizing your inalienable right...your power to choose in such a way that that harmonizes with what you want rather than what you don't.
It's thorough awakening and becoming "conscious" that you'll reclaim your power to do so.
The awakening I'm referring to is achieved through choosing to enhance and expand your awareness regarding life and the unfailing, never wavering process...what I often refer to as The Perfect Plan that determines how each and every aspect of life unfolds.

Depending on how you arrived at this page, and your current depth of understanding regarding your individual creative ability to be, do and have whatever you choose for yourself, it may prove beneficial to explore and develop an understanding of Universal Laws, also referred to as Laws of Nature or Spiritual Laws as well as Quantum Physics to provide you with a solid foundational understanding as to how and why consciousness plays such a major role in creating each and every event, condition and circumstance in both your individual life as well as the ever unfolding process of creation determining how ALL things in the world around you come to be.

All of creation, those things which can be seen and experienced in the physical world as well as the unseen or meta-physical aspects of creation, when traced to their origin exist as the result of Consciousness.
In order to grasp and fully comprehend the crucial nature of consciousness as it relates to the physical, financial, relational, emotional and spiritual aspects of your life and to establish the level of self awareness necessary to become a purposeful, intentional and conscious creator of the events, conditions and circumstances which make up the moment by moment experiences in your life, an understanding of this all pervasive creative force...this essence that we all engage in every second of every minute of every day, is absolutely essential for those who choose to master their game.
In fact it's the seed that will both enable and empower you to begin consciously creating your reality in a far more desirable and predictable manner than the vast majority "perceive" as being possible.
The articles and sub-sections contained within this Consciousness section will explain in detail, yet provide a simple to grasp concept regarding the importance of becoming and remaining consciously aware of your individual consciousness (your thoughts) which serves as the often times overlooked and misunderstood source or cause of the events, conditions, and circumstances which make up EVERY area of your life as well as the little understood aspects of consciousness which serve as the driving force behind all of creation.

Through discovering these "seemingly" individual and separate aspects of consciousness, it will become quite evident that all that exists, from the macroscopic to the microscopic and beyond all inevitably lead to and are the result of "One True Source" referred to as the Super-Conscious Mind.
This Super Conscious Mind has been provided many labels. God, Source Energy, Higher Power, Brahman, etc. etc. etc.
It's my hope that you won't allow man made labels and self limiting indoctrination to limit what Source has made available to you, me and everyone else who consciously chooses it for themselves.
It's also my hope and wish for you that you'll choose to explore, discover and become consciously aware of the "true power" you hold to be, do and have anything that you choose to experience.
The first and most vital part of becoming conscious and utilizing the quality of your consciousness intentionally, purposefully and consistently begins by making the choice to keep an open mind and become aware that what you may "perceive" as being "true" may be the very "truth" that is keeping you from creating and experiencing the kind and quality of life that you so desire for yourself.
Please don't take my word for anything.
Explore what's shared here with regard to consciousness and then make an educated and informed decision for yourself.
The links below will redirect you to additional information and provide a deeper understanding of the various aspects of mind both individually and collectively that will serve to awaken you to the power that has been freely provided to you should you choose to adopt it as "your knowing."
Here's what I know based on many years of research and experience...
Absorb it, learn it and apply it and you'll hold the key to creating a kind and quality of life for yourself that so few in today's world understand is their birthright.

A/U. C.O.T and Long & Short Position data. Also, GCC / Commodity Index compared to A/U on Daily TF's.

Not posted here is a graph of the S&P... which would show that major R doesn't occur until 1220...that would indicate to me that equities and risk trades in general are going higher!

Ok. Here are my DXY and S&P 500 charts...

The DXY is coming down since the 21 and 35 crossover on the Daily TF and will probably fall through the 200ma briefly before testing the bottom of the 150ema and then continuing the fall...

this should occur in conjunction with the S&P 500 PA movement up to the first R and then a brief fall back to test the 200sma and then up up up to about 1220.

These charts help in my A/U position decision making.

E/U. Did anyone take a short position on E/U over the past couple of days?

I missed the short for 3100 but was able to long from test of the 3000 (after the first upward move from 1.2980 area ) yesterday... Worked out nicely

Marc you must be obsessed like me... I hate Saturdays.. My squiggly lines aren't moving...

Yeah, I can't figure out if it's Tenacity or Addiction!

Hey Marc Check out the loonie.. I am planning to long it but it was to late friday for me and I don't hold trades over the weekend. I will be looking to long it up to the 1.4000 level..... Tell me what you think...

Reason w/Chart

I've never traded U/CAD before...looking at the chart I know why! Too much volatility for me... I usually trade the USO in its place... a Long Iron Condor has been profitable on the USO over many months now. With the CRB index rising I wouldn't be surprised to see U/CAD move higher and your long will probably work out just great!

Mark, you might find this site interesting for COT data...

On second thought....since I was watching a movie this popped into my head...it's a reverse currency pair to the A/U and N/U the other two Commdolls so U/CAD should be going Down if A/U, N/U, S&P, CRB are all going up.

I'll check it out. Thanks for sharing.

I have been trading UC for a few weeks and it often moves faster that AU, so I trade that more often. It is influenced more by oil futures and a bit less than S&P. AU so often moves in lock step to S&P as you have noted before.

Yes, I also noted above that I trade the USO...United States Oil Fund in place of U/CAD...for some reason I just never got to trading the Loonie. I don't know it never sparked any interest to me.

I will watch it closely. Thanks for the heads up... I will watch both pair.....

Nearl naked not nacked yet ! anyway checking usdchf to see mostly usd status near term as not trading this actively . so seems next 1-2 weeks can be transition time for some changes there .
fontu

Yes but it can still be very predictable.

Play only strong S/R levels.
