london

the odds are going by est closing time (its higher then last). this trade will bust.. unless under 3022 at London open.. then odds improve some.. in the next 30m getting below 2994 would help.. highly unlikely atm.
So what do you do...just set a stop before you're going to bed? You don't do London opens, do you? Actually...maybe you do sometimes...hmmmmmmm...not sure you do at all. Guess it depends on how committed $ you are? Or do you just close up and wait for the next one?

Gotcha. I'm much the same. It really is a "living" beast. Very rarely does it repeat itself in detail. Each situation is unique. "Hunches" have their say along the way. Other times...just stops set, because it could do anything...kinda like now. Nothing would surprise me between now and tomorrow at 5pm EST!

On another note: I've just noticed how inversely correlated USD/CAD and NZD/JPY are. Surprised? No. Had just never noticed.

Indeed...could be a strange one!

Everyone could have gone home yesterday with their (non-existent) Bonus for the year...or a ham under their arm (though, not likely...if it was a gator ham!). Could be a tense, quiet day...or all-mighty hell may brake loose!

Not too far to go till we get a hint. Sometimes the Russians do funny things, but often Frankie brings those delights. I expect a spiky, tense day...right up until 5pm EST.

Good thing I've self-medicated! Only danger now is trying to be a hero and falling asleep at the wheel!!!

Again...good morrow to you!

Out of the blue shiz...double triangles, like?

Think I understand, cryptic-ologist. Are you saying...

-Above 3022 at LO...you beat your meat...then roll over and get some sleep.
-Nope...I lost ya!

Whats going on to the downside?

-If below 3021...preferably below 3017...you'll go long for 3145/3215?
-Then...set your stops...beat your meat...roll over and get some sleep?

Really confused on this last one...

Is there a way for there to be any more OR less of it? I thought it just...was...no?

Good morning, indeed Bear!

Well that looks a little perky! Now...if the Dixie is like any other red/white/green/blue blooded male with a pulse (or viagra)...that is a pretty common way to wake up. Investing on Morning Glory...or waiting for a retrace?

Or...just passing along a friendly visual to those of us that have been sat here all night while you slept (I think/hope you did, anyway!). If the latter...thank you, but...how WOULD you be gearing up to play if you were?

Cheers mate!

yeah it could be as analysis & as still will look for only shorts & waiting see now bo bounce from 3014,06 or not .let it play to the best to act though .limits there to see & act . while gu breaks one important limit at 5537 , suspecious for eu also though it not yet corresponding.

Yeah...I don't use stochs, or MACD etc...but I would assume a lot of those are now over-bought. At least on TFs where another push to the south could be justified....just to make "sure" we're not going any further south. Problem is...?

I don't think we're so sure yet.

1:04 (hours:minutes) for the Frankie...trouble could kick off in about 0:34 minutes...the appetizer, if you will.

nope.. below 3022 hands the ball back to the bears. the lower the better for the bears. the 5pm u.s. time dont agree. its all bulls atm.. we should get a higher high. but below 3022 may stop that. its a sign of weakness. all the other closes ate bullish.. even London yesterday was. but the bulls have done little with it. usually on a Friday morning in Asia the would have run with it. it still may happen.. 3022 can be a clue. its a launch site. and we are back to it.. bulls dont want to lose it. or the London bears step in

Holy tough (PM) crowd!

Yeah....I know EG is a fairly stationary beast through the Asian/Pacific session. I'll look at my charts...you look at yours. If you see no difference...all is well.

Could be that "Christmas" is upon us. With apologies, I retract ONE of my previous posts. Stay alert.

Demmit!

Is there any point where..."beat your meat...then roll over and get some sleep," comes into play...or am I just wishful thinking here?

I do follow now...thanks for the clarification!
