Quoting Magix
Caught a few on Euro skorties too...


2xGold, 1xEJ, 1xEU...total walking into the weekend...346ish...

And considering I don't usually trade NFP Fridays, this is a very good thing.

Happy Turkey Weekend to my Canuck Brothers, and have a good weekend to the rest of y'all...
nice Magix, very nice, I have to do with 1 bad EU trade and 1 very good Oil trade doubling the loss on EU, so we all can have a peaceful weekend unless EU reaches 1.3375

Fitch cut spain and italia...mamma mia...

was just reading it now...

I like my 22 call though

The rating agency downgraded Spain and Italy’s credit rating and also affirmed that Portugal may still be lowered.

Fitch downgraded Spain two notches from Aa+ to Aa-, with a negative outlook. According to the rating agency the downgrade primarily reflects the intensification of the euro area crisis and risks to the fiscal consolidation effort arising from the budgetary performance of some regions and downward revision of Spain's medium-term growth prospects.

Italy’s credit rating was downgraded from AA- to A+ also with a negative outlook. “The downgrade reflects the intensified Eurozone crisis, the significant financial and economic shock of which has weakened Italy's sovereign risk profile.” Three day ago, Moody’s downgraded three notches the credit rating of Italy.

There are certain times of day I'm watching (and that's part of the secret sauce I'm using while trading). It doesn't mean things will happen then, but if they do, that's when they happen.
Sure I understand. Timing is more important than the technicality of how to pull the trigger, when you got direction and timing , you can use the most sluggish indicator and it will give you a good entry.

I used to have that scalping the ES at 9:45 AM opening/gap play, the powerful 10:30AM, the 12:15 lunch break, tiny "reversal" on weak hands play, 14:15 the afternoon opening trapping all the tiny reversal weak hands play and the fade/profit taking 15:45 play....

Oh, the down side is not questioned. The banks are full of hot air, all ready to implode.

I'm using slightly different times but in general we are close. Some times work in tandem. If it continues at THIS time, it will reverse at THAT time. Things like that....
