what about today?
I am flat across the board, don't see any other potential trades. In the euro? most prolly scenario given Q/M/W rolls is chop zone for a close around 1.266x / 1.263x. 2nd option is a clean swept to 1.281x after London close with stock going wild on risk on. A drop in one go to 1.258x marginally open as 3rd option....

IMO, stocks are in full control for the US session and risk on, plus ECB rate cuts plus TA reversal (continuation up) is a powerful combination to track ....

lol.. nice move..

few things happened here:

still it's a D/W/Q closing Zone.. and books balancing time..

as I warned 3 days ago. higher TF are very clear.. Divergences were built all across, indicating a reversal

i took a clear signal 2 days ago.. and got stopped on first reaction, I lost half of my earned pips.. but the setup was clear and I took it again and am going to play every single time I see the same..

Im still in in Gold and EUR.. I was expecting a push, but this is way over I expected.. Anyways, sometimes shit happens one way or another..

Watch-out for Gold mate. Risk out of the equation, ECB "helping" the FED on the free money this time means QE3 will fade by the minute. A Q close below 1600.xx will trigger also TA all early alarms to the downside too... IMO, Not so clear in gold yet...I am 100% sidelined there ...

posted today .. [when replying to KEN..]

this move is CarbonCopy to last EU summit.. if you go back from 4th Oct 2011, we had same situation:

DOOM news
Market panic
New Low
EU 6-day summit
some golden BS solution found
EU saved,
Market reaction? = same, spike in asia, and keep going for few more days.. with ridiculous ATR.

What I believe in is a balance.. action and reaction..

GOLD is a different story, sure we have to monitor US and FED plays..they rule the market.. but there are few factors more built in GOLD price and every single one is important..

I have a good positions here.. will try to manage as we go..

10x for feedback

Sure i see the similarities, especially in charts. but I don't think they are the same.

On the knee jerk reaction on risk on, yes you are right but:

FA wise we are not remotely close to oct 2011.

 

  1. Now. US is back on "track" not before. QE is almost out of any equation after O. Twst.
  2. Europe was coughing, now is in confirmed recession/stagnation.
  3. Trichets was in and rates were .50% higher. Now is Draghi with ecb cuts to negative rates around the corner.
  4. Inflation concerns in germany were still (unnecessary high), now we are below forecast.

Spain was in, now is out

TA wise.

 

  1. If you pay attention to detail, Both times at these levels (2008 panic on Lehman, etc) and after on debt part crisis part I, both rejection on QE1 and EZ summit were rejection of swing lows (reversals), this so far is just a swing low (pullback) confirmed with todays rolls combo.
  2. Also both tests were still without trends (HH but LL) obviously in the context of major TFs (Q and M charts).


My point is, that sure knee jerk reactions were the same especially after 20 summits when everybody in the world is expecting a glimmer of hope or at least a good kick of the can. However, and as I said to Gator before enjoy the knee jerk reaction but don't let the similarities and the party mode blur what is going on for the next weeks....

Rates in play without short term risk in the Equation can trigger a whole different map....we havent been there before in this pair despite the similar charts so until then....

yup.. I agree here with you.. we are probably going to see some follow up in next few days.. but in general the picture is messy.. few factors are not still clear..Germany, Bonds, and rates

Germany left the summit very un-happy. and Germany have the veto power too.. We'll see what's next.. We saw the same scenario all over again every time since... Anyway next week looks very interesting..

Usually with a good setup, i keep my trades open 2-3 days.. but most of the time Iam closing within the same day..
