hey PTL ... how are the lint bins doing?

you still long from yesterday?
hey Ally..

still long, trying to hang with em...

lint bins showing some promise, but like I said they are still in development, not sure if this weeks performance was just luck, due to the fact we ranged most of the week, if your interested I'll give you the logic behind them, although its pretty hairbrained..

yes bc dealers would want to spike price to the highest stops and accumulate the positions at a higher price for the move down... if this is in fact what will happen

look at nov nfp were the weekly high was 3500ish... so we ran up to the high spiked over it to get the stops then ran it down 180 pips and that sparked another huge move down to the lows 2625

yea sort of... so they use nfp as a reason for a decen correction of this huge up move

ok, i admit: still don't see this fade thing right.

assuming that we don't know which direction it's gonna take (unless u know something i don't):

up - it should fade down. but where too? the stop u mention are below last swing (1.3113 or 1.3080. the second is a 100 pips spike down!). and after that we resume uptrend.

Down - should spike above 1.32 (my view below 1.3248 always) and then it resumes down. still could be the correction of the correction (no kid) or back to downtrend.

makes sense?

no this is why im looking for a spike up bc we are setting up to be close to the high when data is released to this tells me that we have a good chance at spiking above 3200 for a move down

yes there are stops below but we will not spike down 100 pips when data is released then resume move up ...

now this is not set in stone but 9 times out of 10 price moves to a big stop level right up to release then when data comes out it spikes above the high or low (depending where we are) triggers stops then proceeds to counter move for a grinding move down or up for the post data session...

its just what it does.. thants why 9 times out of 10 you want to fade the initial spike of nfp data release..

again the only reason i say im looking for a move down is bc price is moving itself up to the high of this last move from 2600 (the 3200 area) so im looking for a spike above this area for a correction move down

this is the easiest way i can explain it

just being a bastard,,,,

thank you

all im saying is ... when price sets up to big levels like this ... it can give you an idea of where post data nfp will take us..

like i said though anything can happen so im not set in stone over this so ill be ready for anything...

im long now will cover just before 3200 and wait for the data to come out and fade the move
