Hi Andelumut

Here is my daily chart showing my expectations. It is a challenge for me to always remain flexible in my expectations. There is a lot that can happen inside a daily candle. So rigid in our rules but stay flexible in the expectations is the ticket to pip collection.

Have a great weekend.

Rufus
thank you for the explanation Rufus,,
This is very helpful,
hopefully next week to trade better,
only an analysis, and I'm always wrong, don't follow me,

I am going to open a can of worms here...

"Everyone" has been talking about the falling dollar and rising gold...What about the other way around?

I will be posting a few things I have been looking over. It appears to be an interesting thing that may be developing.

The US Dollar Index (USDX) is an index (or measure) of the value of the United States dollar relative to a basket of foreign currencies.
It is a weighted geometric mean of the dollar's value compared only with

  1. Euro (EUR), 57.6% weight
  2. Pound sterling (GBP), 11.9% weight
  3. Canadian dollar (CAD), 9.1% weight
  4. Swedish krona (SEK), 4.2% weight and
  5. Swiss franc (CHF) 3.6% weight.
  6. Japanese Yen (JPY) 13.6% weight.

As you can see the Euro is by far the heaviest weighted currency. A few posts back I showed my daily EU chart where price is running into a supply area. Nimbleness of thought is required here. I personally don't like trading tops or bottoms of trends. So if the supply area holds I may be looking for quicker profits until the direction gets resolved.

Wednesday is the FOMC statement. For the most part US economic news has been better than expected. So we will have to see what they say and how things start moving.

See you all with the Asian open.

Rufus,

I'd be looking for a DX bounce a little farther down, at the trendline. Though I've been wrong aplenty.

I think that the DX not-making-lower-lows or EU not making higher highs tells a different story than the QE-success-story enthusiasts would have us believe.

Tried an EU long. Closed it out at -10 pips. Price action stunk. Wait for a new entry.

2nd target off. My last target will be just under 1.3750....We will see if this sticks.

If it can break that little double top I think we will be in business.

Price failed to break the double top. Now we have a triple. Price then fell to my stop at BE. I think I will be waiting till just before FF for my next position.

Came out a little ahead for Asia. I will have to see what London has up her sleave.

Trade safe all
