mate you sound very marketable, knock up a cv and get it out there...

just need to think up some bs, so they don't think you'll fuck them over once you get back on your feet (which of course you will, but they don't need to know that)...

I'm bound to this location for one more year - and no, I'm not imprisoned

My wife will have finished her studies at the end of Oct. next year, then I can decide.
The wages here suck, big time. I can basically better sit here and trade, than leave the house and spend money on outfits, food, transportation and so on. Going to work will cost me approx. 150,- to 200,- € per month... that measly sum is why I wanted to give up trading at all. I will earn less as soon as I leave the house.
That is, 'til Oct. 2013. My sixth sense is telling me that we'll move even closer to Berlin again, that will be game-changer.

For some of you, my needs basically consist of a scalp-trade... that's it.

Ever been to Germany? It goes like this...

'What have you done during the past 2 years?'

'Traded the ForEx-market.'

'Erm... okay... what is that?'

Fill in explanation.

'I never heard of that, and our database doesn't provide anything in that direction. So I have to assume, you did nothing.'

'Yeah, right... bye.'

So, instead of wasting my time, I can do nothing instead...
I'd think Germany, more than any other place, would appreciate what currency trading is all about.

I never use the term "Forex" to the uninitiated. Instead, I talk about trading. Then they immediately think stocks but whatever, at the end, they'll think what they want anyways but at least they are a bit closer to the concept.

Sorry to learn about your predicament. You're one of the good ones here and hope you'll stick around.

Very important fresh breaks in play across the board. ES, DAX, OIL and more importantly GOLD closed with clean daily break of weekly Resistances (Support in Gold). A weekly confirmation will just show us a small teaser of a new set of levels that can be in play for next year.

All markets in trending move trading air except euro that is trading inside weak Resistance, as long as there are top/bottom pickers and not profit taking, ride the pig. My call was/is, this is an exhaustion move so acting accordingly. The final trigger (fiscal cliff) is still open but after yesterday GOP Plan B and all the details that are flooding the wires, most of the news is already settle down except for the final knee jerk reaction.

TA-wise, tracking and managing the same final targets for the year in euro (decent intraday but crumbs in daily at these levels), oil (decent intrday but less than crumbs in daily) and ES (lots of juice in both intraday and daily). Threw the towel with Gold as I was on the wrong side of swing and not planning to catch a fast moving train.

Nothing much to do but sit and wait until it stops or reach final destination.

Slightly positive but definitively is the same bs we listen before ...is deal or not deal now ...there is no next step bla bla ...markets won't buy another rally on expectations ...that is already digested....

We'll see the close today. Oil running steady. ES too but NY profit taking on weekly targets in both so roll/close is key for managing positions. Crumbs left in the euro but the ES and Oil still has very decent room.

Is clear now that we are going for the last bit of knee jerk reaction on the fiscal cliff in the next few hours and the close will be settle from TA coincidentally on Dooms day (triple witching Friday). I want to be clear everything before NY Friday as that is going to be nasty day....

In Oil and ES tracking same levels before clearing. ES via fiscal cliff is the only one that can add fuel to this leg and Euro is exhausted and is just moving by market inertia (and dumb money try to catch tops in the last +100 ticks up). 1.323x for the roll for a direct extension to final target, to the other side roll below plenty of untested breaks starting with 1.312x but that will imply micromanaging position in small TFs before crazy Friday....

Nothing to see ...again today seems not to be the day for an agreement so...let's tomorrow.
