It may seem that way to begin with but it's the only true indicator of the markets. If you can use it then you are sorted.

Just recently discovered @leopardtrader on twitter. They have been correct in every swing direction. More than 80% of their calls are correct.
Just felt that anyone can keep an eye on their twitter page.
Seasons greetings everyone!
Happy New year everyone !

Hope that those that tried keeping an eye on the guys made some good trades. They are still long eur/usd..gold and other risks...

Cheers

Might consider a long around 3029 depending on PA

And if PA doesn't agree around 3029 then will watch 3009 for possible bounce

More on warning over Greece exit from euro, from Telegraph: Greece will crash out of the eurozone unless it can agree the terms of a €130bn international bail-out agreement an Athens official has warned, signalling the start of another tense countdown for European leaders to avert a default.

As European bond markets strained ahead of a vital round of debt auctions, Government spokesman Pantelis Kapsis said: "The bail-out agreement needs to be signed otherwise we will be out of the markets, out of the euro. The situation will be much worse."

Greece is struggling to push through tough austerity measures needed to secure the second bail-out. International officials preparing to conduct a financial inspection in Athens that will decide the terms of the rescue package that was agreed in principle in October. Greece is also racing to clinch a deal with the private holders of its sovereign bonds. (PSI) Both deals have to be secured if Greece is to avoid defaulting at a major bond redemption in March.

On FX, good to watch Greece, even as markets start 2012 on a more positive note. Any fears of eurozone exit, sovereign downgrade to weigh on Euro again. EUR/USD vulnerable to downside as shorts were squeezed on break of 1.3000 to 1.3077. EUR/USD at 1.3050-52, offers at 1.3080-00. bids at 1.3000, stoploss below. EUR/JPY at 100.15-20, offers at 100.40-50 from Japanese players, eye break of 100.00 again. WL

still my view is vsa is a tool. as many others. no better nor worse. in fact can be a better tool for some and a worst tool (compared to any other) for others.

as any tool it doesn't operate it self. some do wonders with it, some blame the tool.

Remember last year folks? Look at your friggin' charts and the fx futures tape! Who's been buying? Suisse, Goldman, yes. Go at the fx pits on the Chicago merc. Or at least have some mates there caring for you. The reality and the mms are there, not on the forums.

very complicated one, fist reaction bad news , later it might turn into good news as one weaker country left, if investor worried other country (Italy , Spain.. )will follow then then bad news effect may continue, Greene default 70% - 80 % priced in

No one really worries about Greece, investor worries about Greene default effect on Rest of the European banking system , they have already done 50% hair cut , they have to do another 50% (shave)

WSJ : Fed officials will begin to publish quarterly forecasts for interest rates later this month, part of a communications revamp that could help bolster the fragile US economic recovery.

Fed officials will tell the public when they expect short-term interest rates to rise from near zero given their projections for economic growth, unemployment and inflation, according to Dec 13 minutes. They will start to make the rate forecasts public after the next meeting of the Fed's decision-making body Jan 24-25. Together with their economic projections, Fed officials will publish forecasts for what they consider the appropriate level of the federal-funds rate - Fed's benchmark rate - in Q4 2012 and at the end of the next few years.

Central banks in New Zealand, Norway and Sweden are among those that publish their interest-rate forecasts.

On FX, EUR/USD at 1.3050-55, funds offers capping 1.3080-1.3100, as EUR hit 1-week highs of 1.3077. Bids at 1.3000-10. Eye any Sovereign, Swiss, Asian accounts bids on the way down - and any SNB related EUR/CHF bids as well. Stops below 1.3000/1.2980. EUR/USD still vulnerable to downside on concerns over Greece 2nd bailout talks. USD INDEX at 79.665, off the 2-week lows of 79.518 seen, low since Dec 21 79.240. Focus on Fed Jan 24-25 - with 4 new regional Fed President and the forecast of Fed Funds. Good to watch, even as pressure on ECB to do more., WL

Good morning all, Feel:


Risk assets rallied in the first true trading day of 2012. NZD and AUD were top performers with USD and JPY lagging. The date calendar for
the Asia-Pacific region on Wednesday is vacant.

The ISM manufacturing index rose to a six-month high of 53.9 from 52.7, beating the 53.2 consensus estimate. Sub-indexes for employment and new orders were strong. Unfortunately, similar indexes in Europe, China and the UK have been moving in the other direction.

EUR/USD squeezed higher to 1.3060 before US markets opened but subsequently fell back to 1.3011 just as US traders arrived at their desks. Afterwards, it was a slow march higher amidst the backdrop of positive risk appetite. The high of 1.3076 came after the FOMC minutes and was the highest since Dec 28.

The FOMC minutes announced that policymakers will make their own Fed funds rate forecasts public starting on Jan 25. The upcoming statement will include the forecast for Q4 and the next few calendar years.

The risk of such a move is that the Fed signals a longer timeframe before raising rates, a USD negative. The minutes also said conditions could warrant a further easing but noted improvement in the jobs market.

The S&P 500 gained 1.5% to 1277. Gold gained $38 to 1605/oz. Brent gained $5 to $112 and WTI climbed $4.20 to $103.
