Stay well, Arches...can't wait to yak!

Am assuming (and always hoping), since you haven't mentioned it...that you've avoided the chop at work?

That level cannot trigger another (scalp) order for a "rest period" of AT LEAST another 800 M5 bars...at which point a calculation will be made. But I wouldn't be surprised if the next visit returns a NO TRADE...as in...we've been ranging too close. Could be weeks before that one triggers again.
From an indicator point of view...but not the account where the trade was triggered (I'm running visuals on one...and trades on another to try and avoid..."but it doesn't work on my broker" type shite. Or...minimize that, anyway...because at a certain point...I'm not going to care () <--True colours?? )

Thick red one (ish) was the trigger...

Targeting 3226 (for now).

Half (two thirds?) expect this one to go lower. It'll add, though. No hard stop on this one, thus far.

H4 still short, as visible. Again...M5 more my style...option there for those that like the higher ones, though.

She be the Queen, mate...bit of an angel, too. If at all possible...I'm nearly certain she would.

You steer the dustbins from SwissFX on the back...could be a lethal combo!

Just in a trigger sense.

A lot of the info is shared...and coming from multiple TF's. M5 just goes in sooner...and gets out sooner.

I prefer less exposure time...particularly this time of year...and in these days of the Tweet (cliff...blah, blah, blah). Automation never grows tired. Close out...saddle up again when ready.

Well, Washington decided to play third world. GOP decided to went on Holidays first, WTF?, massive knee jerk reaction overnight in the ES but all other main markets reacted in the mean.

Gold bottoming on risk, oil barely holding the break up but unsustainable without the support of the ES that completely lost foot. European markets gaping down and all last lost breakout points so top there too.

TA wise, Gold brilliant entry area for longs in Y/Q/M/W on the making 1622.xx still open until the end of the year but 1622.x / 1640x is THE area to load so priority for the next few weeks. Closed the year

Oil topping, a break down intrday 89.0x will seal the deal. Flattening before final expected target and closing year. Nothing to see without fiscal cliff/ES

ES cleaned the whole range 1440x / 1385.xx on the knee jerk reaction but held and strongly (lasts key break out) the bottom of the range. Guess where is that window dressing money? ...marking 1385x S as feeble support now. A test (very big if one) in January will open a lots of air below. Stopped out on the remaining and year is close without a Fiscal cliff deal tracking 1412/16.xx for the yearly roll.

Dollar receive a blow with the news and as long as risk off is not triggered across the board. Going over the cliff is another v. bearish signal for dollar opening FA wise 1.359x in the euro (but opens similar levels in Cable and AU specially. Aggressively trailing swing stops in the euro and no more room for anything after this. A break 1.334x opens 1.359x without stops in the middle. I am not completely sure if risk off with this news overnight is going to prevail short term (until year's end) or if the knee jerk reaction already did the damage. If it did, is yearly close in Forex too. If not, holding for the quadruple witching with very tight stops for the just in case move to finish this year.

Intraday London and European opening range (not rocket science) setting a very bearish tone across the board except gold but NY and expiration are THE ONE to track today...

GL all still on the markets for the end of the year. ...a and btw happy doomsday ...

noope, two more shifts till whoop, whoop xmas break... off 4 days, back in for 3, then off for another 3 over ny...

edit- and hoping volumes pick up in the new year so i actually have a job to go back to... it's been pandemonium the last few weeks through the annual peak period, then amazon put on the site that regular deliveries are not guaranteed by xmas and it all went eerily quiet... so please help a brother out and order lots of crap from amazon that you don't actually need or really want...

Must be very busy days down there ...that remains me that still need to make a couple of last minute orders...

In any case, bulls fighting very hard 1.323x...failure to crack it for NY will open a very decent range to properly test last break out in the euro ... This is not going to be an easy day for trading ...
