Is interesting, but...

Isn't that just clutter? Chop?

V's probably heading to work now. Looking forward to his response though, chaz.
I didn't mean for that to sound dismissive. Looking forward to seeing/watching for it on more "wide open" charts.

Sleepy time here.

Catch you in a while. Enjoy the ride.

DOW, S&P and Nasdaq getting bought back up (after another dump) for the open again. Don't think AAPL is going much lower. gator will disagree with me, but I think that's nearing the end. Buy'em if you want'em. Next quarter's earning report will have the spike in the opposite direction.

Out...for now. Stay well.

Never brother... it's just how I view price. It's just another way of looking at it, and if you look at price in waves, this can definitely be seen as chop, but there is consistent movement buried within.

I never place a trade without PA to protect, whether with trend or against, and this is how I do it. And the risk is easily defined too. No lines, no fibs no nothing. What you see me posting is the chart I trade off, naked as she comes... save a random (?) box drawn here or there.

Maybe the news can get her going? I tried twice with it. Two scalps for a total of 20'ish pips. The short from here is suppose to be monstrous... but I am only so patient with stuck price. I know I will be regretting it mid week sometime next week...

Decent number from the US ....ES tested that final goal below 1400 in Globex and that is prolly it for the day/week across the board, Tracking NY opening range for a possible intraday test to 142x again but without much expectations (more like a hit and run). Gold and Oil tracking the news. Dollar indifferent so far (we need NY).

On the euro a few ticks to that test 1286x but nothing tradable in my case. Without equities breaking down, euro is set to stay in the range till the close moving as a collateral ...

Not that I am trying to switch your bias around if you are not short, but... weekly cluster?

These aren't full proof. Nothing ever is. But as you know... They are right... enough

gdp is not gbp...
anyway the gbp had better economy growth news yesterday. so it will be stronger then the euro. meaning if it falls, it should fall slower then the euro.

Venice I made the same mistake in my charts a couple of weeks ago. IMO, the red box is a weak R (cluster or whatever you wanna call it) only valid for reference as is inside bars. The area (which is the consolidation range in daily/weekly) in my charts is on the top of the engulfing candle [9/10 week] ...my 2 cents ...as you know you will get whipsawed in and out (we are already 5 fakes up and down) if you trade the middle of a range.

Is a bastard! When moving...fantastic. When hovering, faking and shaking? Can be terribly cruel. I don't play it anymore. I make a mint...then it fakes me over and over and over before we get going again. G/J 2.0 long term account...as involved as I get.

I have a total of 24 instruments staring me in the face, and not ONE of them is GBP based! I see its moves elsewhere. Although...GBP/NZD has some swap potential...but still not enough to drag me in.

Euro, Aussie, Metals...I use the rest for reference.

Dayum...Viagra everywhere out there.
