lol, nah just small talk james... reminds me, we gotta do a night out in the west end come spring time...

yep and yep, what post about ecb?

although that said, seen enough of these press conference, nfp type volatility shit fests to know that they can be traded, you don't want to get caught the wrong side of the spread when and if the fecker picks a direction though...

the map is not the territory...

final thoughts on the whole text book debate...

lets take chart patterns as an example, a rising wedge on a short term time frame is just as likely to break south as to break north in my opinion, you have to look at it in context, what's the prevailing trend? what's the intraday sentiment? has there been any recent news or data released? etc. etc.

unfortunately trading is not an exact science, it is based purely on probabilities and not certainties... it is not like fixing a car, if it says in the repair manual that if you put component x into position y then the car will start and if you do this then your car starts... unfortunately trading does not work like this, if you enter position x at level y, then there is no guarantee that you will make a profitable trade... therefore the text book approach to trading does not work...

you have to look at your chart in the context of the greater trading environment... the map is not the territory...

i hope that this makes sense and it doesn't come across as the wild scribblings of a crazy person...

it too early in the morning bro...

any fundy reasons to think euro cld break this trend channel to the downside???

can draggass saying, "da yuro too damn high bro" be interpreted as signalling a potential rate cut or significant changes to monetary policy in the near to mid term???

also when is the next bernanke fart? so he can drop some hints on any plans to wind down the current qe program? given that the last nfp reading was reasonably healthy...

given the pace of the trend over the last 8 months or so, i'm reading this dip as a profit taking breather... could be wrong...

have an idea about bernanke's...
Dow Jones is near all-time high level.
They will test what kind of supply can appear there, and decide. If strong reaction down, they will keep QE. If new highs... i will wait the day when the will come out and say "ok now we stop da Qe" :nerd:

Would have liked to get in at low 332x but broker not open yet thinking we'll see last push up this week if 332x holds with DOW making new highs
