in normal times.. i would be looking for weakness now at 370x eu.. the stuff in the m.e. going on should boost oil. a boost in oil in normal times is yen negative. a weak yen boost the euro.. this on top what the boj is doing. this will be a crises if it continues. a big one. put on the party hats..
Yeap no point in fighting intraday at the end of a manic (or panic) move ....in any case, US equities markets are flirting to close the week on a fresh break (still a few hours to the close ...) slightly opening (but opening which TA important) 1st potential attempt to test of all time highs ... that's a big one, and the only important level across all markets to track for a while...

You know, I don't know that much about fundies. Sometimes I got a bright moment... technically, put a 55 EMA on H1

Thanks for the indies, I'm gonna try those.

lol ...yeap sure a EMA 50, 51, 55, 62 or anything similar (actually choose any trend following indicator with the right setting) will seems as Holy Grail for that ...but only the 5% of the time markets are in trending mode ....

The LTRO payback for the ES banks is brutal.

exactly.. companies selling to german auto makers are missing forecast. the aud is not showing what china claims. the boj is not and cant let up. the euro is up 13.x% on the usd. its up 35% on the yen. all since July.. so it makes German (ez) products that much more expensive comparably to the ones exported to... a squeeze in exporters add in higher energy for them comparably.. this is yen caused.
japan is not going to let up..they are phucked... and they are going to take the ez with them.. down here we have hurricane parties.. i see the ecb as "a deer in the headlights".. they always react late.. but the market is smarter most times.

Don't disagree with you ....but don't forget the other side: FED, BOJ, BOE, openly devaluing their currencies and the ECB except for interest rate cut is with its hands tie... As you know don't mess against CBs so carefully neutral for now...

Je je je .... "After the fact" indicator glamor .... A trend with a MA always hides those 6 or 7 consecutive micro breaks that will wipe out your confidence an account, highlight the easy bits, blurring the difficult ones when the right side of the chart is empty...and more importantly never give you neither a direction, nor potnetial momentum and the worse and exit .... So Yeap prolly 5% of the time..the rest is just optical illusion...

I got the same. After a couple of hours, it freezes the whole MT4 and I need to re-install to get it working again.
No candle-timer for me any more.


maybe it is another indi working somewhere in the background?

u can always change ma time frame.. one will hit most times.. and change its direction eventually. i find the 1 sma the most accurate. its usually within 1 pip of all trends on all time frames.

r a dt with a 50% retrace
Lagging very conservative long term money jumping in on the highs after a long time ... I seriously doubt we can break any further without a retrace. I am neutral too in equities but I am jumping in short on the first signal of weakness. Today we have a very decent top formation that only failed on NFP and the sheep loading at the highs ....

Patience, patience ...whatever the case the next leg up is the one to be long term as will go for bull levels above all time highs...and as you know that means ride the pig until the next bubble in few years...
