Profit taking from QE4 across equities after the very extended rally (+10% DAX / + 7.5% ES%, etc). Dollar hasn't completed that move yet given the open extension and the mid term outlook of the announcement. Only fiscal cliff open this year for the fuel on the next move. Open ended question with a few days left to go so Gold and all will hang around until fiscal cliff is cleared.

Only TA for today. Levels to track for a v. important weekly roll as it will define the final moves until the end of the year. Oil 87,1, Gold 1704.xx, ES 1414.xx (rollover week so 1422 for reference in the S&P) and 1.297x for the Euro.

Nothing new to see without some news from the US fiscal cliff so I guess all intraday traders will rule the day until NY enters a settles the deal...

its not that bold. with hundreds of wars in the past in Europe. it is probably less bold then those saying, "there will not be one". the myth of a common currency is just that. gold at one time was a common currency. and we had those hundreds of wars then. where i dont know.. Turkey seems like a good place to start.

i am not eu bullish... what i am has bias, as does what most others think..
its no secret i think the euro will crash and burn. its no secret i think there will be other future European wars. its no secret other countries like GB with highly leveraged bets on the euro will suffer in my bias.

Thats a pretty bold statement, if you were to have a punt which countries in europe would you say ( guess ) will go to war

DJ Panetta Orders Deployment of Patriots, Troops to Turkey
INCIRLIK (AFP)--The U.S. will deploy two Patriot missile batteries to Turkey along with 400 troops to help defend its ally against potential threats from neighbouring Syria, U.S. officials said Friday.

"The secretary, as we are en route to Turkey, has signed an order that will deploy some 400 U.S. personnel to Turkey to support two Patriot missile batteries," George Little told reporters aboard Panetta's plane before the U.S. defence chief arrived at Turkey's Incirlik air base. "We expect them to be deployed in the coming weeks."

Farewell, good-bye and amen

A month earlier than I originally intended, 10 months before the 'real' deadline, I officially declare: "The journey has ended."

I just ordered complete withdrawal from my two trading accounts at Oanda and Ducascopy.

The plain and simple reason that lead to this decision is a mistake I made at the end of Q1 2012. A mistake that cost me a lot of what I worked for, such a lot that I was unable to erase that loss in the whole course of 2012. In the future, I wouldn't be able to trade with proper money-management any more. I was there, exactly where I wanted to be... then I stumbled over my own two feet.

Thanks for the ride, folks.

Good luck.

... Dollar will lead the move this time. We may not even wait for NY if stops are tripped on the top side in the euro. There is a nuclear reactor up there...lots of air if it blew.

In any case, we need some fresh faces around, some already closed the shop for the year and the other abandoned ship this month for better company in the endless thread .....

Sorry to hear about your decision. I will definitively miss your inputs, your very consistent and methodical way to study and dissect the moves and how you have managed to put that in very rational and measured trading plans with your charts.

On the TA/trading side not many people realize what you have posted in your charts in past years but you are probably the only one in FF that have managed to understand and "translate" the details and technicalities of very complex and not easy to digest concepts and calculations (Gator's just to name on of the crowd's popular...)

Sadly, another honest trader with the sharpest sense of humor around leaving. Another lost for FF and everyday we have a even higher spammers/commercials/Brokers/fortune tellers/ to honest posters ratio...

All the best in your decisions outside of trading and please do join us every now and then for a chat in the forums.

There is a massive DNT there in the euro guarantee (PTL also mentioned I think). In my readings a miserable 1 tick will kill not only the option but all the stops above. So no break no shake but a daily/weekly break will make the rest of the year a lot easier ...we'll see this afternoon ...

thanks for the info sisse, analyzing USDOLLAR which I mostly do, gives me a growing bias to bullishness.
Returning to 1.0555 is almost out of my book so feel fine to exit there if needed.
