Fat-fingered the one, though! May have closed prematurely. I'm fine with it...in the bank.

Down to the close, and if Asia pushes back into range. Wouldn't surprise me to see them take it north. 224 hi to low today. More often than not, they won't extend on those sort of moves. They do like to sell into the weekend, though. We'll see.

Hope you're well, mate...cheers!
longest london ever, but turned out ok.

EU wants 3858 here. As PTL always says, we are stretching.

Phatphuckphanda is still long, a no brainer.

hkAnus, did you take my hint on 5990? You are looking at 5930-ish next.

Thks Gator. Could have been a lot better with the entry yesterday (didnt get filled by 4 ticks) ...

Let see if 87.6x hold weekly close for potential shorts...otherwise 88.8x (with overshoot to 89.2x) continuation ...above that will need some FA. At that levels shorts will look a lot nicer on a rejection of daily R...we'll see

Im still targeting parity

I thought I was crazy callin for parity at 7890... as did everyone else....

but we def still need some major FA to get there... till then im holding my UC longs and CJ shorts...

I butchered his name a bit, that time of day.....

He wasn't sure this morning if he should hold them, gave him a bit of a hint, hoped he listened.

You're fine there, she will test that 5990 again. She liked it below there.

Told you she would test 5990.... Did you hold on to it?

I am off again, but wanted to share a monthly chart here.

This one is off the bullflag from 1999. If this plays out we are looking at sub 1.33. The only thing to stop this is QE3.

Food for thought.

quote from Aug 6th by me

"it's a confusing time though, esp. with the possibility of risk off meaning a euro positive move for the first time in history? I really don't know. I'll prob just stick with chf and jpy on this one.. ya it def is a wild time...

ultimately though i feel the EU will drop

the SP downgrade may give a kneejerk reaction and promote some USD weakness( prolly during Mondays NY session)

but ultimately traders dont give a rats ass about ratings.... look at Japan.. they are a AA- with a neg outlook and it hasnt hurt the yens strength much has it?

the swissy is surging but thats hardly only cause S&P says it has a AAA credit rating. Its more to do with the fact the franc is the traditional safe haven when all is not well in Euroville

so anyhow... wive been dead wrong before... but if in fact the EU does hit the 3329 by labor day I have to, in the spirit of this thread, post up my old calls and gloat about my greatness maniacally http://www.smiley-lol.com/smiley/heu...resheureux.gif""


my timing was a bit off for the 3329... but i was def lookin at that massive flag too....

I have a less dramatic view for now. However, if quarterly/monthly confirm reversal this month close it will open a whole new set of levels (posted when it happens...first the first)....

This is the monthly chart updated from PTL conversation. Like always in the follow ups before and after...

Thanks PTL.

Here is my chart with my monthly overview & levels I posted above.

I am seeing something similar on daily/weekly. Just wanted to throw up a big picture chart of what I am looking at this year and next.

business as usual... when I'm in a trade, they bounce like mad, when not, they don't

though I think, Asia might be interested to backfill at least. 3848.9 in sight, where I would like to see a bounce.
i see a little something at 3840/41.. + u know what 3862 is already..
