Dealers are busy flushing stops today, volume is light on both sides bid and ask. Traders are waiting for the pre-referendum polls out of Greece.

What "pre-referendum polls out of Greece?" Its been scrapped...hence the rally...

from AP:

  1. GREECE BAILOUT REFERENDUM HAS BEEN SCRAPPED
  2. Officials close to Greek prime minister tell Associated Press bailout referendum has been scrapped.

Its all a racket!

The comical/pathetic spectrum has been widened. Shitshow at one end...undefined parameter at the other. Not sure a word exists.

I was trying to be sarcastic and giving the "cnbc" view of why the markets are doing this shat show. I didn't really clarify that in the post, sorry about that.
I saw that headline on a news site about 30 mins ago and laughed. It seems like they are running out of headlines. I wouldn't be surprised to see "Trechet leaving ecb" next. Lol

Seriously man

I thought it was funny for a long time

I'm not laughing anymore... This is a horrible rumor filled, indecipherable, unhealthy, vapor volume environment to try to work in... It's not good for anyone or anything to see this level of ineptitude by the political powers/ fiscal policy makers/ markets in general

fuck Greece


where the fuck u been
Hehehehehe...hi killer!

Been horny! Having a ball. Met a really nice girl. Mutual friend. Had been threats of meeting for ages...it just never happened, for one reason or another. I was speaking at an audio convention about two weeks ago in New York...about 200 people in the room (). About half way through...I thought I saw her at the back of the room. Was like...ummmmm, no...why would she be here? It WAS her...she was in NYC for work. We've really hit it off!

She travels a lot for work...all of my favourite cities, too. Fak it...forex can wait. Still playing occasionally...but have dusted off my M1 scalping template. This game has become a shitshow. Can't even get my head around stepping out to H4 or D1 charts...everything would be stopped out.

As long as silver is above $28ish...and gold $1500...I'm sorted. I'll take planes, hotels and punani for the foreseeable future! Will always be looking in every few days, though. I'm an addict...and I miss me some bastards!

Indeed, mate.

I used to think I "knew what I was doing" in the markets. People used to hear what I did, and would ask...isn't that incredibly risky? Well...not if you know what you're doing...I would say. Over the last couple of months, it has just been getting worse and worse...and the shit curve just seems to be going parabolic. I can scalp just fine...5-10pips here and there, but my swinging/position days are definitely put on hold for a while.

I bow down in the presence of ur genius then my friend

Cuz all I can see lately is " blah blah blah... Bullshit bullshit... Lies lies.... No PA setups, no techs, and the only thing more unreliable than tech analysis is fundamentals."

But that's just me... Where is my coin to flip?

there are some really nice people at the EU thread (fontu, kuroro, mitcho, Kambooj just to name a few) but it does get exasperating at times.

besides, the most important thing is your "apres-ski" LOL the trading post are great but the easy going talk around is even better. i've been sillently with you guys.

why cant they just flash headlines that say "Risk on" and "Risk off"

that would be easier..
