cme just trying to ease the migration of accounts from titsup MFGlobal. They shoulda explained it thusly from the getgo. But I'm not seeing a negative effect per se

"By reducing the initial margin "ratio" to 1.00, we ensure that margin calls that are issued to these transferred MF Global customers will be limited to bringing their accounts into compliance with the lower, "maintenance" margin levels."

yeah... lots more about this in the news room. People are starting to get worried. I really cant figure out what it means from a forex perspective except that it should create a bit of volatility and maybe some risk off sentiment.

Fool

Cant download that for some reason but the key question seems to be if CME is increasing or decreasing margin levels. ZH seems to the former while CME seems to think the latter.

A quick look through of the last two years will show that only one Monday morning gap of the EU was not filled within 10 days. This works out to about a 98% success rate (working on the assumption that it only gaps 1 in 2 times) But sometimes it takes a run of 800 pips before it gets around to closing. And life would have sucked for you if it were indeed that 1 time that it didn't close.

But Chicky, my chart does not show a gap this Monday (although it shows all the others). Why does yours?
Absolutely correct. It can run upto n number of pips before gap is filled.

My chart shows self created gaps by ignoring data from Friday NY Close to next week Tokyo open. Please do remember I do not trade gaps but consider them strong support/resistance levels.

Since a gap is by definition is the difference between a weekly close and a weekly open, I suppose would have to be a very strong S/R. Thanks for clarifying that about your chart.

Sleeping through Asia tonight, will wake up at 05:00 GMT +1 as usual to start my day, check the movements, go to the gym, relax and trade.

So here is my trading plan for the week, not going to go into too much detail since those with a brain will be able to decipher pretty quickly what my "if --> then --> Execute" scenarios are going to be.

Bias for me is bullish while drift is in tact. I would like to note H4 while making new highs, has not closed above any recent created high. (A close above a high vs making a new high is not enough conviction for up move for me). Though, we are creating higher lows...

3866 will be an interesting level this coming week.

curious if 3777 r 90 (90 st pa) outside is the new high. 3767 is doing what 3767 should do.. and 3697 is the one under. just in case a pending s still at 3975.5 ... 3836 is in the same sequence, as is 4253 and 3797

Only reason I point out the High/close thing with the H4.. is that we do look rather bear flaggish. Also have 3940... would be the top in the right shoulder, should it carry out that way.

Formation may be a bit more of a H&S from a ghoul though.
