I am looking at no meaningful retrace here till the low 3900's. Let's see how far we can get before our cousins show up in 2 1/2 hours.
Right on the nose again... you BASTARD!

cheeky spike, think you were smart in taking profit on that dip, could've easily continued dropping
Indeed. Was "paid" at that point anyway. Had to lock. Northern spike was gravy...sweet, sweet gravy.

Hope you got some, mate!

Don't have an ego. Always question yourself and your ability.

Latest rumour is that he was on the ETF desk, not the FX desk. His direct supervisor JH, (not going to name him directly here) has resigned on the back of this one.

This is all 2nd or 3rd hand, not directly from source, just yet.

Mainstream media is now reporting the supervisor's name. It is John Hughes. I was not going to be the one to "out" him, but as the cat is out of the bag now, may as well confirm it.

Quoting cloggie
The rumours are pretty solid and tie in to my earlier rumour about it being equities. His supervisor leaving ties in too. I thought he was based in ZRH, so that's maybe how he got away with it as the management layer was not in London.

This is also now reported in mainstream media, it is Delta desk, run out of ZRH with traders in London, this is the equity desk as I said this morning, not the FX desk.

Every now and then....I really wanted to pull the trigger long on this analysis, but the Unemployment data kept me out of it....I guess I should have known the FED was gonna throw the kitchen sink

Damn bastards ...they pushed to quick only a couple of ticks away from entry area...hate them...

Fed saving the boat announcing dollar liquidity for ECB banks ... I wonder what the Republicans are going make on this ...lol

This was exactly what Senator Coburn told him not to do a couple weeks ago. But I guess they figured if the choice was between getting reamed out and losing the European banks, there was no real choice.

I referred to the USD liquidity crisis a couple times over the last couple days, latest last night. I really didn't think the FED would do it. It's a good thing he waited until after the House vote on the ceiling.

Didn't get stopped, but only because of the point picked on the 2-wk roller coaster, and because I was (and still am) betting on about 3 handles on the position.

Europe isn't saved, IMO. Just because the one entity in the world that doesn't use credit risk management will counterparty with zombies still doesn't do much for solvency.

And now, I think, for the first time, the actions of the CB's is going to become an (understandable) center-stage political issue. Fox News is going to be the bellwether of that.

atm the euro has to make a higher high... or bears come back at/below 3852...3841 3820 even better..............longer term an asprin does not cure the illness. look for a reversal candle formation before 3936
