Buy trade anyone?

I only bought the the USD crosses. ('Sold' the USD)
The indices are weak for the dollar and basket is in buy mode with our fresh signal.

JPY is strong at the moment, so no perfect sync/harmony.

Will wait and watch JPY to strengthen tonight to 'Sell' them too.

-Forexferrari


nice one forexferrari.

ive now closed my sell basket from last week,were somwhat on the cuff at moment which im sure your watching on your values as they cross from negative to positive and back again,just need a little more conformation before commiting to the buy basket !as im typing this im in.will now watch yen to fall into synce and ill buy those pairs to follow the basket.

also buying 5 indicies.

baby sitting these .whilst theres conflicting pairs within the group and not total harmoney,risk is increased so any signs of prolonged confliction ill close everything.

I bought the basket after london open (HAS bounce, could not take the first signal!), in 15min there will be GBP Manufacturing Production m/m if this will not move the market maybe will be a range bound day waiting for the US election?

yes thats a strong posibility,certainly looking that way at present from values on the fx basket

having said that the indicies are moving up and showing me nearly 60 pips,in profit,also starting to notice the bond markets falling off so it looks good at present

My 4h/daily charts are still looking short - weak, but short, market is following a buy channel, but still has a little room below to complete it's move.

I expect the world is simply playing safe for a few days into the elections

Kos,

Now this basket is starting to move have you reversed the g/c and u/c or are you still waiting for the market to line up better?

Thanks in advance.

what platform is that?
I use bloomberg site to track the indices
basket is moving up, slowly, positive at around 100 pips

It was at 100 pips, now it's at 40. Waiting for it to clear up, will be back later.
Please, just slap me around if I'm being silly ...

its ig index uk,just closed my indicies trade for 90 pips,which im pleased with,as i can trade larger lot sizes due to only 5 in basket and there much less volitile.

my fx basket was up 200 pips,now at 140,but ill hold and should it continue more range bound will close b/e,but if it stays in floating profit until US opens maybe get a lift then

I'm sorry....I posted #943 a manager
the first one was not working ....please try the new one
to use it , i suppose a basket buy:
your goal is 1 % profit depending your account but you don't want to accept a big loss (no more 1%): you set Profit_Percent 1 and Loss_Percent 1.
so this tool is like a TP-SL ....it's not really in the kos rules but it can be useful sometimes

I missed the five basket. Could you state the five pairs? I see the advantage of five vs. 14. Also is there a hedge buy and hedge sell scripts that make entering easier? I could try to edit the 14 pair but I would probably just screw it up. I'm a hack. adding "i" s is easy but actually tinkering with the code would be beyond my scope.

And I assuming you follow the indices looking for risk on. (indices going up because people are buying vs. indices going down (people are selling stocks) and buying gold. Or is it the other way around?

This basket is taking its time..its times like these that you dnt reverse the usdchf..so far the yen weakness has held the basket stable, what we need now is some usd weakness..let's see how the us session reacts...DAX is up,crude is up,gold is up..

the general correlation should be this one:

indices up, commodities up, basket up
indices down, commodities down, basket down

for t-bonds is the inverse

bonds down, basket up
bonds up, basket down

yes ,if the indicies are going up and the basket is going up then this would indicate the sentiment is risk on,ie money flows from bonds into dollers and into more risk assets such as indicies stocks,sterling,euro ect.i look for total agreement,when all these things tell the same story,this is the safest time to enter the market,when all these things are jumbled up it indicates indecision and range bound conditions,these times are more riskea due to the fact you can get caught in the middle.

i have on my other pc the scripts for buying and selling all the yen pairs which wen time permits will post.

as for the core 5 ,im behind the times with that method,although it makes perfect sense,if anybody has a script for the core 5 it would be highly apreciated
