This market is all over the place, I can't get a grip on exactly where they're taking us yet. Posted a few possibilities. Time will tell. What's the heat map saying ? Anything new for today ? How're the exotics lookin'?
sorry, i had to go. when i posted that, i just came back from work....then, life stuff intervened....

what is the heatmap showing for today?
the 1 week heatmap shows: two things: money flow into XAG, XAU(1st attachment)...and money flow away from JPY, USD, and HKD.(2nd attachment).

I'm lookin at taking aud short, everytjing else is up in the air. It was such a huuuuuuge week last week, I think the the dust is still just settling. At least I can't see the direction yet. AllI see is aud getting picked on.
what i see is the XAU and XAG showing strength...yesterday, it was the JPY massacre that was dominating...today, it is the XAG and the XAU dominance that is dominating.....

i will post some charts...showing the bullish moves at 8am EST...unfortunately, i wasnt able to get into any because (a) there was no BPC on H1...and (b)like i said, after i posted "shomari in da house", i had to leave immediately due to situation that requires my attention.

i wish i was in these trades...but i am not. sad fact of life. these were not like the silly USDCAD short from yesterday, these are solid ones: the long red(xag, xau) vs short deep blue(jpy, usd, hkd): very clear direction.

technically flawless...but as you can see from the heatmap here...SGD is not the strongest against the USD.....otherwise, i have nothing to say. hopefully, it works out for you.(MAYBE i just have bad luck...but when i look at less than optimal trade(e.g. usdcad SHORT from yesterday...it always fizzles.): what has always work for me: long red/pink vs short blue. At least, SGD has 5 layers of other currencies between herself and USD...AND it is pink against the USD...my USDCAD from yesterday had only one layer of currency(HKD) between herself and USD(and CAD wasnt even pink yesterday)....so yeah, there is some good chance that the USDSGD short will work out fine.

any event risk to look for? news from china? or news from USD?

Check out a possible trade on g/n shsort in the h4. CLASSIC HECTOR.

Charts below.

I'm going g/[email protected]

GBP/NZD short? i am uncomfortable for two reasons. #1. from the heatmap...you can see the NZD not decisively dominating the GBP...not at all.: nzd vs gbp = white vs white....not red/pink vs blue.
http://www.forexfactory.com/attachme...2&d=1347982998

From H4 chart...you can see the non trending state of GBP.NZD.....

hence, i am not comfortable wiTH gbp/nzd SHORT....

THERE IS ALSO NZD current account and JPY monetary policy coming up.

I hope you mean set an entry, and not jumped in yet. Notice in the h1, it could turn into an h1 uptrend. I'm taking it [email protected] , that'll allow for the continuation to push us past the threat of the h1 uptrend.

have to be more critical in my setups, using the heatmaps is something I have get used to.... Skynet, do you only trade the pairs that look strong in the heatmap? even when there is a healthy trend and a good BPC pattern?

Apply the fib retracement we're between the 38 and 50. It's not your best setup, and I know I have no heatmap confirmation but if it goes, it goes.
This is kind of just based strictly, on the technicals. I guess I'm kinda breaking alot of rules with it, but I just wanna see. I see the heatmap but I kind of feel like after last weeks bombshells, it's kinda of like a reset, New money is pouring in NOW after summer hoidays so,I kind of feel like, they can take us anywhere, so I'm just throwing up entries, and whatever gets triggered gets triggered. Like I said before. I just have really no idea right now. I'm just setting a bunch of traps and seeing if I catch anything.

GBP/AUD and GBP/USD are both technically flawless....

however, AUD and GBP are pretty much neck to neck on the heatmap...on top of that, NZD and JPY are both releasing major econ news today....which will inadvertently impact AUD....on top of that, the british are also having a MPC meeting in roughly 16hours. (that is 4:40am EST time tomorrow)...there is a chance that GBP may go into congestion anticipating the MPC decision on asset purchase decisions and interest rates for the GBP.

otherwise, i will go for the GBP/USD...on the heatmap, GBP/USD is beating the beating the pants of USD...personally, i will opt for GBP/USD long....the only draw back i can see with this GBP/usd IS THE mpc...HOWEver, IF THE trade completes intraday...excellent!

thanks, shomari, for bringing GBP/USD to our attention. good work, as always.

respectfully,

intelligently well put.

throwing out setups like this is the reason why i spot the GBP/USD....good work, sir. hopefully, the MPC wont mess things up too much.

once again, thanks for the contribution.

ADDENDUM: i just have an idea: i will do the exact same thing that you are doing: post all the setups and categorize them into two: the ones that are aligned with the heatmaps vs the ones that are not aligned...and we can all see with our eyes a solid field test of the merit or demerit of the heatmap. excellent, shomari. excellent.

i do when when i am playing misalignment trades...otherwise, i think i have the bad luck of picking the wrong type of trade when i do not back it up with the money flow parameters of the heatmap.

you know what i will do from now on?

immediately after i get off from work(translates into 8am est or so)...i will post the 1 week heatmap to the date, by that, i mean, today is the 18th...i will post the heatmap 1week from the 18th....everyday. in that way, we can look at the money flow patterns...not just on the weekend.

ONE MORE THING: I appreciate shomarri throwing setups out there...either it confirms with the heatmap or not...(if anything, it helps field test the heatmap even more...)so, yeah, i will try and do that too...post setups that are heatmap approved and setups that are not heatmap approved...(naturally, i will only take the former in live trades...clearly denoting which is which) but it will be fun to see, in the front of everybody eyes, how the heatmap field test does.

It's all true.... if I had seen the xau and xag I would have been all over those.
Well, ok,I'll just be honest, and then, guys, tell me what you think.
Last night it occured to me that the heatmaps are based on the information of what happened over the summer, low "volume",, big biys on vacation, people waiting for the major decisions we got last week. So, the heat map is sort of "historical" in a way, but it doesn't take into account last weeks news, and all the new money flowing into the system this week, now that the fund managers and everyone are back from holidays. I'm not saying I think it's inaccurate, I'mj ust thinking that it can't show us the affects of last weeks decisions yet. So if I see something shaping up technically, who's to say it won't go through seeing as all the new money coming in could push us any way they want.
I think the heatmap will be more and more valuable as time goes on, after the data from the next few weeks is calculated and we'll see the new trends be shown in it.
Just a thought, but obviously, when you look at xau and xag it kinda blows what I just said out of the water, so.......like I said guys,Ijust don't know right now. I just feel like last week was like a nuclear bonmb level of data and we still can't see around us due to the fallout. It might take a little while longer for the dust to settle before we see clear trends again.

WOOW WTF ? As I'm writing this comms are strengthening. See what I mean, the markets are just crazy right now.

CORRECTION: YOOU CAN LOOK AT DATA AS RECENTLY AS YESTERDAY!!! (You're all like, "No shit dumbass !!" Busted, somebody didn't do their homework)
