along with the aj indication. i took the eu short. in the usdx chart. you can see the target was 5 pips lower. that may be 12/20 pips higher on the eu then the current high.

And there just went the daily high.
It doesn't stop...lol

Stock markets rallying but in a healthy manner but they still haven't reach next daily R (just a few points away now) leaving the door open for a further push up intraday in the euro (unbelievable really but charts are there)

This move is all euro strength. Deep breach of daily R 1.366x and flirting to make a break on the roll ...let see...

For those who have shorted this one with a larger than 10-20 pip SL should have learnt something very useful today...

320-340 pips in a day can happen...and always wait for a confirmed reversal...
Yep... Anything can and will happen. It's why I try and focus on the text under my username so often... market plays by my rules, and if it doesn't, I don't want anything to do with it.

Haven't sold today, but haven't bought either.

Just have been a bystander watching in awe. LOL

Had lots of signals to long though...

long until short, short until long.

Yeah... it wasn't a very easy ride on my long term plays, had me biting nails a bit more then usual.

Then the sell off on Friday... I was like ... oh boy. Yay for knee jerk reactions. And we all know those last well...

I can handle a losing trade, I can handle a winning trade... but man... purgatory trades... bit of an annoyance. LOL

I cashed n crashed early last night when I never got confirmation or bounce off the M1 1440 for the directional change, but the way I sees it, we have moved a ton off of Chino highs and Chino close so will be looking for that area as a place to buy.

I had anticipated a drop to yearly lows as the China banks never had ops to buy cheap, and have been waiting for a test of the H4 200EMA, but seem to have figured them in the wrong order, up then down, instead of down then up...

Fawkers!!!

Anyways, here's whut Ima gunna be lookin fer...

Most likely not be taking anything, right now, with London closed, bank holidays in US and CAN, easy to get caught in a sideways movement. Fuckem, if I get my load, I get it, otherwise will look to see whatsa shaking for TK.

this is just ridiculous
If you think about market psychology at the brink of events, this isn't ridiculous at all.

Fear of a significant bank failure has been an overhanging cloud for months. Then one does; the irony that it ranked highest in the stress tests is just one of those little ... ironies; not any cause of more systemic concerns. It's handled. Everybody plays ball, and the problem is gone.

The Slovakians have gotten their position on the record, and now, tonight, they, too, will play ball.

So the news is out, and the imminent threats have passed. The underlying problems are still there, but there is just a little more evidence today that they can and will be handled than there was Friday.

Just kicking the can? Sure it is. But all that's happened is the can has another little dent in it. The good news, worth almost a 37 handle, is that there is still a can to kick.

Got stopped out of the HG on Friday, but I'll put it back on somewhere above 40 basis Nov. That alone says I expect another dose of long term reality to set in yet this month. But not today.

That's all I'm doing with EUR, too. It's the only thing that makes sense: follow the price as the signal informs you to trade it. No one can out-guess or anticipate lunatics.

No fear, brotha! hehe. I don't like the highs personally, but even if we are starting a new uptrend... the bottom half needs to hold its ground now. It's never a straight move. I'd say 3400 is still easily in the path...
