2367 for me and the mirror is [COLOR="rgb(65, 105, 225)"]2751[/color]. I'll keep an on that, we deviate by broker-# atm... if anything doesn't work out, I'll scream...
btw on the green one the um is 2532.. it seems bad for shorts being above with the close. but thats not necessarily the case. a good cross would start above 2532 and close the -2508. and have a valid cross.

If I may add my 2 cents. Instead of an indi, just plot the Horizontal S/R price based lines on the higher Tf (assuming the instrument is not trading at all time above/below high or low) ...it will beat any indicator for what Hatch is using as tools....if the mofu, etc, etc is not compatible with one those S/R better skip it or be more careful...

basically we are doing that. just more proactive and future s/r. and the way pa acts depending on position in the cycle of the predicted pa. the indi would just be a secondary helper if he finds one he liked. never a primary. we know the window we want. the indi could help in a surgical entry/exit.

if we closed -2508 this h.. the time of day would suck. but it for me, would be very bearish. although e-close usually pushes us higher after in some drift. still have a pink box for 2419 .. to contain it.. also 2544..

Yes I understand the general concept and some of the technicalities. My last comment was aim at exactly that: "just more proactive and future s/r.". A future S/R area will not override an old confirmed PA guarantee S/R before is tested and broken or rejected. Only when is cleared you may aim to spot the new area in advance (useless for counter-trading but valid for target in the last position, etc, etc in my books)....

Sure on the indi, but as you prolly agree with me, once you know direction, there is no better surgical entry/exit that price base alone triggers (at least in my books and experience) and almost all classical indicators (not most of the atrocity you see in FF) will give you +/- a good entry...

In any case, stuck at 1.253x but bulls are extremely soft. Last H4 barely held but a new attempt to break down with London going home. Watchout for those lows...

i disagree. the assumed confirmed one may just be a rung in a bigger ladder that has not yet completed a cycle. such as 1876.. it is a s/r but its just one level in many. 1876 + - a handful, was indicated long before we got to it as a s/r

True, but at the end we are having +/- the same levels, The only difference is in timing ....

In any case, break of lows again. 1.236x looks around the corner before 1.227x...

  1. 12:27 PM The ECB's weekly statement - showing a €25.3B decline in loans made under the LTROs and a €34.1B increase in "other claims" - suggests, says John Carney, a bank(s) was forced to make early repayment after its collateral became ineligible, and instead draw emergency financing. Perhaps this, not the Egan-Jones report has the euro diving.
  2. 12:06 PM The estimates for falling German yields continue to get taken down, Nomura positing they could go negative out to 5 years if the market begins to price in a break-up of the eurozone. Ten-year Bunds, says the bank, could challenge the 0.44% level hit by JGBs in 2003. "We hope that this scenario does not materialize." Current German yield curve. Comment!

    11:46 AM Spain is downgraded to B from BB- by Egan-Jones, which notes the country's GDP is exceeded by the assets of its two biggest banks (via). The euro is plunging, hitting a new multi-year low at $1.2483. 2

unusual time of the day. looking to close some above the 2414 and 2420 target.. (2423 ish).. and reload in the 2508/32+ area (2573). at least in normal times. i may not get the chance. it don't have to bounce. but if it does.. i will be here looking.
