news like qe.. unemployment rate lower, trade deficit lower. business outlook higher. gdp outlook up 3% (not great but stable),,, and yet the media pushes more qe.. and the sheep repeat it.
with Europe in bad economic conditions. more money/investors coming to the u.s.
add the safe haven with the crazies pecker measuring in the desert.
china is the fast shitting mule with colic.
I'd b veeeeery surprised to see Ben launch more QE with US data largely improving and decoupling from the rest of the advanced economies...

I mean I know he wants to do it cuz he is terrified of deflation... But the repo markets and tnote volume still don't dictate the ability to massively expand the balance sheet at this moment... Then again as the USD bond markets swell with foreign flows and the Fed needs to float the Quickly deteriorating shadow banking system I won't be surprised in the least if within the next 3-5 years the Feds B-sheet isn't pushed to 10+trn overnight...and the ensuing hyperinflation will be devastating

Watch out Santa!!!!


'Twas the night before Christmas, and out on the ramp,

Not an airplane was stirring, not even a Champ.

The aircraft were fastened to tiedowns with care,

In hopes that come morning, they all would be there.

The fuel trucks were nestled, all snug in their spots,

With gusts from two-forty at 39 knots.

I slumped at the fuel desk, now finally caught up,

And settled down comfortably, resting my butt.

When the radio lit up with noise and with chatter,

I turned up the scanner to see what was the matter.

A voice clearly heard over static and snow,

Called for clearance to land at the airport below.

He barked his transmission so lively and quick,

I'd have sworn that the call sign he used was "St. Nick".

I ran to the panel to turn up the lights,

The better to welcome this magical flight.

He called his position, no room for denial,

"St. Nicholas One, turnin' left onto final."

And what to my wondering eyes should appear,

But a Zenith-built sleigh, with eight Rotax Reindeer!

With vectors to final, down the glideslope he came,

As he passed all fixes, he called them by name:

"Now Ringo! Now Tolga! Now Trini and Bacun!

On Comet! On Cupid!" What pills was he takin'?

While controllers were sittin', and scratchin' their head,

They phoned to my office, and I heard it with dread,

The message they left was both urgent and dour:

"When Santa pulls in, have him please call the tower."

He landed like silk, with the sled runners sparking,

Then I heard "Left at Charlie," and "Taxi to parking."

He slowed to a taxi, turned off of three-oh

And stopped on the ramp with a "Ho, ho-ho-ho. "

He stepped out of the sleigh, but before he could talk,

I ran out to meet him with my best set of chocks.

His red helmet and goggles were covered with frost

And his beard was all blackened from Reindeer exhaust.

His breath smelled like peppermint, gone slightly stale,

And he puffed on a pipe, but he didn't inhale.

His cheeks were all rosy and jiggled like jelly,

His boots were as black as a cropduster's belly.

He was chubby and plump, in his suit of bright red,

And he asked me to "fill it, with hundred low-lead."

He came dashing in from the snow-covered pump,

I knew he was anxious for drainin' the sump.

I spoke not a word, but went straight to my work,

And I filled up the sleigh, but I spilled like a jerk.

He came out of the restroom, and sighed in relief,

Then he picked up a phone for a Flight Service brief.

And I thought as he silently scribed in his log,

These reindeer could land in an eighth-mile fog.

He completed his pre-flight, from the front to the rear,

Then he put on his headset, and I heard him yell, "Clear!"

And laying a finger on his push-to-talk,

He called up the tower for clearance and squawk.

"Take taxiway Charlie, the southbound direction,

Turn right three-two-zero at pilot's discretion"

He sped down the runway, the best of the best,

"Your traffic's a Grumman, inbound from the west."

Then I heard him proclaim, as he climbed thru the night,

"Merry Christmas to all! I have traffic in sight."

There's no escaping deflation. Sell the kids/farm/mistress and stay in cash people.

Wait... You buy the hook? Pictures please..
What's the hook? Check out my attachments, several pictures in there of this pattern.

But lets say for the sake of that picture I just posted heres what I was looking at. Didn't take it but I would close the order and reverse directions if a close happened above the green supply zone (step #3) as I would then expect supply turned demand.

This allows me to know exactly when I am wrong.

Pretty easy pattern to learn. Close above/below a high/low, then buy/sell on the next retest of demand / supply.

Every single trade I take is based off of this pattern, 1M to 1W.

It's extra special when price actually obeys the 50% of the zone, looks like i'm smart when i catch the bottom/top to the pip.

I know different though
Oh so basically u just let old S/R get broken... Consolidate for a bit... Then buy/sell the retest of the area as a continuation move with a tight stop?

Makes sense... I generally locate oscillating channels and buy/sell the top/bottoms till they finally break out and I'm in the right direction


I'm so
Analytical though I always need a fundie reason to line up with my direction or I freak out... Lol

So order flow+ tech+ channels+ fundies + S/D= Wulfgars trading style

Ah, got it. A hook is a pull back testing the latest low broken.

And if he does launch more QE I'm all in buying more cheap greenbacks while everyone wants to give em away...

Yep. It seems to work very well, I am always trading with the current flow of price... and gives me a high win rate to brag about. Let price lead the way, and I follow. See the picture i just posted in reply to Attila.

not trading this as it is time for "out goes the lights" but there is a scalping opportunity with these levels.

The main banks are just sitting on it and trading it with the prime brokers between themselves.... It's shadow banking at it's best... They just rehypothecate the paper over and over since theoretically they can create unlimited leverage through these margin loans. Why dish the money out into the public sector when the game is so much easier if you hold all the cards?

Not to mention without this paper the fat bloated/ insolvent bastards would be belly up and there would be global bank runs that would make the runs in the 19th and 20th century look like a typical day pullin out 40$ at an ATM..
