Oh yeah...forgot about her!

Oh man...got a head on me this morning. B I G night out last night! Got "locked in" watching rugby. Had a ball. Just have to remind myself of that throughout the day while licking my wounds.

23rd & 6th...good time, mate?

this could get interesting. stocks and commodities all in one. boj has to be nervous. i am. purple Target is below 2008 red line. getting below the purple horizontal line is a big deal. it puts the more conservative target below the 2008 red line. atm the purple levels are in the mofu area.. on the south side. of a rejected atm u-mofu.. smaller tf, such as the h and the day are just 55+- pips from s b/o using candles mode. the weekly just 138 pips atm.. if that happens, a test of that purple line looks unavoidable. a break with some closes targets lows lower then oct 2008

Nice g-man!

I've actually been gearing up to get back on this pair. Used to trade it a fair bit...can really be a nice mover. And yeah...BOJ must be getting nervous. Wouldn't be surprised to see some warning shots across the bow soon. I have a pending order placed on UJ in case they do...similar to my EC one. Don't think it would be as drastic, but I'll play along.

AJ...great pair. Thanks for the post.

Gator, do you think that broad base forming on USDJPY on the daily could give way? If that does hold, then maybe AUDUSD is the pair to short? hmm
Don't have an ego. Always question yourself and your ability.

Great observation & so checking it , turmoil /ranging continues till the situation improves in relative to usd perhaps , till it ends correction & all done for every pair perhaps & then fight with each other .

i may not short it.. the interest to hold sucks. with that in mind an exits before role is probably gonna push it a little higher.. for a new chance to short it each day. it may be worth a scalp.. lets c if that pattern develops. the eu had that pattern for a while after London then u.s. close up.

sure.. but short the pair with the greater range. whoever it is.. the aud will probably rise before roles each day. so closing your short before may be better. then look for a place to re-enter after in the bounce curve. look for this pattern you may have some trade-able longs there too and collect the interest. .

Ahhhhh...brunch...feeling MUCH better!

Here's another marked up chart. I'm getting a lot of PMs about "how's and why's" so I'm just trying to answer a few questions with visuals...easier than paragraphs. Will post a couple other things in a while. Few notes below the pics, too.

Biggest note: Volume

I'm completely "self taught" in this game...forex. I knew little coming in...probably don't know much more at this point. I haven't read any books. I found it...got bit...and have never stopped watching charts.

I haven't been using Volume all that long. I don't give a fak what other people do with it...I don't care if people think it is a crock of shite! I know where it fits in my system...and it is really becoming a powerful confirmation of when I'm laying down large. But...

I know very little of the lingo. I haven't studied VSA at all. I threw it on my charts and watched...for hours and hours...on all TFs. I have a couple setups I like to see with it, and when those happen along side a few of my other triggers...I lay down! Large lots...gator style stops. The above play paid incredibly well.

Total DD: < 0.4%

---------------------------------------------

Sorry: Meant to say about Volume...

Stopping Volume: TF Trend ending...Bulls/Bears scrapping it out; pick your side...wisely!
Accelerating Volume: Price marching on...still trying to work this one into my system. Need to see more to gain trust.

The above are the only two things I watch for with Vol. Have no idea if the terms are correct, or make any sense. Actually...I think Stopping Vol is correct. If any Vol heads want to correct me on my terms...or other sweet things I should be watching...please fire! I'm happy with what I have got out of it...certainly not interested in reading 1500 pages of FF to gain another 10%.

Got gems? SHOOT! All ears! <-and tongue!

-----------------------------------------------------------------

One further note...

By Bastards in the above chart...I meant the "real" bastards! Not the soft friendly bastards here. Anytime I have a trade closing above 100...always feel I've taken a little nibble out of some big bastard somewhere. Pure motivation!

My only take-away from the G7:

From Reuters:
"With Asian economies deeply worried about the West's debt crisis and slow growth, Japan voiced its concern and sought backing for its right to unilaterally intervene to counter safe-haven purchases pushing up the yen."

From the G7 statement:
"...disorderly movements in exchange rates have adverse implications for economic and financial stability. We will consult closely in regard to actions in exchange markets and will cooperate as appropriate."

Sounds like BoJ didn't get the okay for surprise interventions.

Really hope nobody takes offense to these images. Two of my "other" lives really float around the arts. All subjects were willing combatants...and often had to be asked to remove the smile they were wearing...to capture the moment. Art is art...behind the scenes...Starbucks...chicken McNuggets...sexy time!

Just appreciation for some of the finer moments that any man or woman could ever hope to spend on this planet...caught in a frozen moment.
