when is the last time anyone saw a reasonable pullback that would allow shorts to escape? hmm?

this has got to be one of the most relentless drives against faders i've ever seen. allow no pullbacks, TAKE NO PRISONERS

this has lasted a week.

i might think about going short sometime NEXT week!

there've been others.. people should understand, bulls are extremely strong on this pair when they get started, and yes there are no pull backs.

so far its nothing... its only been a few days... started with the new month.... you should know that money flows around month end. Also its end of year so even more... and with low liquidity during xmas it can be exasperated even more. Maybe your stuck short so you are buried in detaills but in the big picture its nothing but a bull trend thats about 6 or 7/10 strength.

this is a good time to notice a couple things:

1) if you look back - say 3-4 years - in FF threads, (you and attila have been around for a while) you will find continuous critical and derisive discussion of scalping. 10+V's used to ridicule anyone who went for 10 or 15 pips all time... now, you look at these same people here and on the useless thread, and their just tickled to get 6 pips!! what changed??!

2) the number of 100 pip candles (per month) on the daily has definitely decreased in the past year, even though price may move from day to day (which is equivalent to saying no LOCAL volatility or NO PULLBACKS)

i don't think i'm imagining this. something has been changing in the past year or two

Yet net positions are short, as per CFTC filings

we also have a bullish wedge formed on the usdx. that low was the #3 touch. its nothing until it breaks. its nothing if it breaks the tl south to 79.48... its just at 79.48 it completes the indicated min level. we usually bounce after near/at min. if its going to happen in the wedge and get to 79.48.. it wont until tomorrow at the earliest.
still in it..

yup changed for sure... low range, ppl are cashed out... the market has pretty much struck out alot of retailers into bankruptcy or changed their mind from trading... speculators are alot less because of HFTs ofcourse HFTs focus on small gains... hence the smaller daily range... compression usually ends up with a large breakout up or down. We are at the compression stage... who knows how much longer.

Average joe is on the sideline and so are alot of big funds who await what the policies will be during the end of a election year and starting fresh.

If its just banks vs speculator traders trading... not much movement expected as mostly algo's running against each other. Makes sense... until an event that screws with the systems to cause an outbreak of volatility.

i don't have eidetic memory, so i don't recall the exact price action from those times, but i remember good old 200 pip stop hunts that HAPPENED, and then things would quiet down for some period of time and there would be large retraces. i don't see that anymore. what is see now, looks a length of pine tree needles.... just continuous sequence of chintzy little pull-backs and a relentless forward motion.

missile defence was not a good defence for Poland - it was a defence for the USA. It was supposed to kill long range missiles going for the NY....
but it doesn't really matter now as Barrack announced withdroval of the system on 17th September (the anniversary of Soviet Union attack on Poland in 1939) - if that isn't sending a clear signal of intentions then what is?

Of course you may choose to believe that USA is defending Poland... only from who? Arabs? come on...

wars are waging a little bit differently now, not only by military means.
you dont have a clue.

Yup but take a look at the big picture and relate it to a 1 min graph and then tell me what you see. 2011 had some large ranges... so it hasn't been that long. There's more money than ever to suggest that ever larger moves will be present for sure in the future.

reason senor traders go hard on scalping is scalping looks like easy but actually it very hard , scalping need perfect entry and very tight s/l on a 200 pip a day market if some one scalp without s/l might end up with margin call , now market playing in very tight range my yesterday profit just 12 pips i am scared to pull the trigger these days .
