Thanks for the link.

Not really sure about the technical arguments. With just the abstract from an interview it sounds closer to a random forecast more than a valid scenario.

European gold bonds sounds nice in theory but technically I don't see how it can work. Going back to a gold standard in the euro bonds but not in monetary policy via the ECB is wrong and technically impossible. Despite that, who is going to put/guarantee the gold in reserves for the bonds??? ...we end up back to the same problem Germany, France, etc guarantee everyone else...

Yeah I know what you mean but what if Germany made it a condition of backstopping the Euro debts.

we might, but equities are bit horny , wish i can reload from it
i had equities going to Dec highs.. but thats done.. i dont have a pa target for them.. atm .. 12012 it was indicated weeks ago. i lost my feed so i don't know how it worked out exactly.. we may just be in a bounce after target hit.. the aus should have been near a bounce zone.. but if 9387 aud is lost.. the rest will probably be lost also. aj broke a tl.

this happens more times then it doesn't.. #90358 the green box. most charts dont look like apple's.. those are rare.. the gold chart since 2000 is rare. more times then not.. we go back.. 1900-250=1750.... 1750/2= 875... 50% of the previous leg.

40 pip whore euro.. if we get to 2470 w/o breaking the current high.. then the 40 pip whore will probably go to 2432 min. if we get to 2470 then 2431 is likely.. i would sell any bounce after toward 2508.. hopefully above 2490 till 2508 .. if the high is broken the same applies just the opposite. longs below 2490 up till 2472 .. to target 2547. (against main trend)

My crystal ball is a bit foggy right now, I got some levels above for later if we get it at the right time.

I never look at wave structures on smaller tf's btw.

Can I ask a question as I see you are an EW fan... does it work and why/how? Of all things that seems the most subjective of all the voodoo, and thats the exact reason I think it's worthless to add to my TA bag.... but hell who knows... I am fine keeping it simple as far as charts and levels as that's what the "smart money" seems to do also from what I know.


Hi Monroe,

with EW it is like with any other method: some times it works with high precision, other times the counts suck.

My experience is, to better trade smaller EW-pattern (like B-waves or C-waves) than rather trying to get a whole impulse wave.

Since waves are fractal, you will find EW-pattern on all TF's. Sometimes I even use 15sec or 30sec charts for timing purposes.

But to trade successfully with EW requires a lot of training. When you are profitable yet, there is no need to go the extra mile and learn EW.

But when you have time at your hands, you can give it a try. In the end you will see, that you gain a better understanding of pattern and movements.


EW is only part of my trading.

Mostly I look for levels, fib ratios and momentum.

EW is like having a map (or at least thinking one has a map LOL)

hi infinitus, still got an old position trade @ 77.50
Promised me a while ago, once in my life I will sit a position trade out, stupid me....
Was seeing a bottom around 78 which level proved some relevance.
Not going to add (which I prob should) whole market is so risky with Euro-development, considering to stay out for a while till things settle down, don't like this market environment


I think we have here a great R:R


My long time forex account is loaded, but will now not add further.


Better safe then sorry, you are right

Infinitus, cool, thanks for the response.

Yep, just another trick to add to the bag I guess. I have looked at it a long time ago but I am a lazy bastard as it is as far as charts go, I like to look at them as little as possible. I pretty much know the levels for the day/week ahead of time unless it goes way outside my zones, then i'll have to check and see what's up.

I need a bit above 2543 to get a sell signal on 4h TF

But withan ATR of 124 today I suspect we will reach it today.

15min TF and 1h TF are a sell for me right now, and 2481 to 2512 was one of my high probability shorting levels anyway.
