so on a serious note, if there is substantial damage from the storm (i've seen estimates in the 10's of billions), is there likely to be increased dollar demand on repatriation flows for insurance payment purposes? like we saw with the yen when the big tsunami struck?

I don't understand this either. It's risk on right? But who wants to throw cash into the safe haven when it's the one under duress? lol

The RORO paradigm might be on the back burner while we have some fun being pushed around in the illiquidity of the surprise market holiday

Because of the storm... I suggest

Be mindful of of the path of connectivity to your broker and their computers location. Double check the phone number to trading desk (FXCM is routing phones to Asia as an example) and that the US futures market has already caused the closing of indices and could close others.

Yeah, Daily demand... Watching the H1 to see if she wants to start pulling upwards yet. Obviously delayed a few more than the LTF's that you may be on.

you know me v, m15 is long term in my book... least when i'm in scalping mode... btw risk on would see reduced dollar demand, as investors move from liquid cash into securities and vice versa...

M15 is fun, but I've been focusing a lot more on the H1/H4/H12/Daily. Trying to do more with less. Of course, not much one can do with the HTF's swing wise, but the range is still good for a few hundred.

M15 looks like an ascending triangle breakout to the north.
