H1 and H4 hit the bottom at 4324 there. Topside is now at 4470-80 on H4... The reason for my short is a retest, or a resemblance of a retest at around 4360 there. 4360 was my number since last night. We did overshoot a little today.... So that's pretty much the plan. We'll see how it goes...

problems for the USD abound... same with the Euro... which is why this pair is stuck in this godforsaken range..

Looking at the USD side( the more heavily weighted of the pair) we have had a constant stream of bad data. High unemployment, bad manufacturing numbers, bad GDP numbers, hell more or less everything is not hitting its targets. Even Cored Durable goods, which on the surface looked good, actually was pretty bad due to an actual drop in capital goods numbers although they were outweighed by the auto side of the equation making the headline number look marvelous and sending algos and surface news traders on the hunt for USD event risk.
The big one is the GDP manana. Most likely Bernanke wont say anything we dont already know. Ive said before chances are good he wont launch anything nuclear. Will mostly just be boring and reiterate his same ole shtick. But... IF and when GDP numbers miss( Im actually thinking they are gonna miss BAD.. aka .5 or worse from an expected 1.1) The markets should immediately flood away from USD since a sub 1% GDP number is a definate sign of recession.

Bernanke will then come under heavy pressure for the stimulus wall street is clamoring for( in order to get bigger bonuses obviously) under the guise of more easing being "good for a stronger economy and reaching target CPI data and other numbers indicating a forward moving market...


Basically in the long run the fuckin world is doomed....

Im going to the gym... Ive depressed myself rattling off this extremely bearish analysis..

Yep... was a different ball game this morning though for that signal, with that momo and 30 pip slippage. Shoulda known to expect it with it being a 4h play though.

Ubuntu is acting all kinds of weird for me tonight... may just be a router issue too... other sites seem to be running fine. Pages are only halfway loading at times... hmm.

On top of everything, I rebooted and lost a few of my GUI's... lol... ah man, Linux is a godsend or a hand basket delivering hell to your front door step... at least it seems that way at times... lol

90's... hmm. Highschool. lol.

Was excited when Windows '95 made it into our classrooms, it was certainly a step up from Windows 3.1... lol.

I seem to recall an old Macintosh as well... but vaguely... and I remembered it was 'weird' and 'different'.

First computer my parents had, couldn't even tell you the make/model.

All I distinctly remember was the green on black screens, with a numbered menu system "please enter your choice".

To fun... but alas... the 90's to me... was the days of droning on to school each year, learn some crap, spit it back to the teachers. Get a summer break. Waste the summer break doing nothing. Rinse and repeat for the school year.

Somewhere in there, I discovered alcohol as well.
