Thanks for coming back to the forums Cloggie. You always provide so much useful explanations!

The US economy is consumer driven, the EU economy is services driven and the Asian economy is manufacturing driven. Those are generalisations, but they will keep you on the right side of a news driven event for most of the time.

The US needs more consumers to grow, getting people to work will facilitate that, that will result in an exuberance reflected in indices, that will increase the dollar supply, as cash is exchanged for other paper, that will increase the risk on and in turn EU will go up.

It is all about the flow of cash, you just need to judge which way the cash is flowing and hop on your little boat to join the ride.

The US economy is on the mend and the markets will be looking for a trend. Just put a trend line on the numbers in a spreadsheet over the last year and you know what we are looking at. A good number will see SnP test 1394 again, that will reduce the supply of dollars and we will see a risk on trade materialising in EU and yes it could go up 100 pips if the number is decent. Always look at the detail of the report too, not just the headline number to judge if there is anything in there worth eyeballing.

If the number is crap, then watch the es...

Thank you so much Cloggie. Understood like half of it. Will re read 10 more times and see if I can understand it completely :-)

Cheers!

Great to have you back!
Thank you !

News is charteable, not just as a reflection on the EU chart, or the es chart, but as a chart on its own. Put the last 5 years of data in an excel sheet, make a chart out of it (I run mine into MT4 out of SQL) and you have a tradeable event.

Don't just see unemployment/NFP/CPI/GDP's as standalone numbers, they are all part of a trend, identify the trend, see if it varies from the mean and you have a tradeable event. Then also watch the underlying report for any outliers and you are ready to trade the news.

Retailers that just trade the headline number on its own, are not newstraders, they are gamblers. Everything is correlated within itself. Trade the correlation.

why everywhere we have to have people more saint than pope. I see no reason for protecting idiots giving money to strangers. As turmaz and hda are concerned, both have something interesting to say - i have been following their posts and they were mostly right. I cannot understand why they are suspended constatly.

Good EARLY morning folks,

What a spike we had.... nothing but a fake out.

Consolidation late last night was telling though

I think a touch of the DPP of 1.3106 is definitely in the works today

Now approaching pivot of 1.3106

Better not sell yet if not already sold at 50, itching my back it be bought up to 35 on hourly close and then sell.

If closes above 50, there may be continuation upwards.

Closed my shorts I posted earlier.

BoA reporting now (good numbers), that will have an interim effect on es/DOW, and eu as a result. Evil speculators want to get into the action pre market here, that affects the dollar flow, and eu as a result.

Playing it safe, waiting for the next setup.

Yup. Never look at a scheduled regular newsitem in isolation, look at it as a chart.
