Don't cry over spilt milk!

The last maximum about 2'568.61$ should be recover next week, so I hope I could go on to hit the 3'000.-$ line next month.
If I would reach the 100% Profit Zone in June 2013 maybe I will distribute profits 3'000.-$ > to other accounts till December 2013.
I think about it.

Thanks.. Rob.. will read with interest..would be interested to hear your thinking on USD??Best dan.. PS.. who is this Kyle Shortland.. should i watch him..or should i say listen to what come out of his mouth??

post month chart USDX... similar on week and day..

getting back into a flow so i'll be around here too if that is all right with you, Cube.

thanks for the kind words, always my friend

sorry not to have clarified that, danc........there is a link on the link to an article written by Ambrose Evans Pritchard

http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/finance...nd-will-do-so/

the focus is a possible attack by hedge funds on the Japanese Gov Bonds

the article by Pritchards also lays out the challenges faced by BOJ in its attempt to double the monetary base and get inflation up to 2% while at the same time keeping JGB bond yields low (the FED and US Treasuries)

the Japanese bond market is second only to the US in size so the risk is that if bond investors fear inflation of 2% then they will not want to hold 10 Year bonds with a yield of less than 1%....

so therefore a possibility of a disorderly unwind of a massive long position in JGB............Pritichards contends, as do others, that the BOJ will have to significantly up the level of intervention or the risk is the BOJ may lose control

in essence it looks like we are talking financial repression here, and the BOJ must crush all resistance.

looking at entry buy orders above 103.75 for uj........also looking to buy lower, but think the volatility in the JGB market may offer some nice lower longs

my 2 cents for what that is worth

Retracement Or Reversal: Know The Difference
June 22 2012| Filed Under » Chaikin Money Flow Index, Equity Valuation, Fibonacci, Options, Pivot Points, Reversal Patterns, Support And Resistance, Technical Analysis, Technical Indicators
Most of us have wondered, at some point, whether a decline in the price of a stock we're holding is long term or a mere market hiccup. Some of us have sold our stock in such a situation, only to see it rise to new highs just days later. This is a frustrating and all too common scenario, but it can be avoided if you know how to identify and trade retracements properly.

What Are Retracements?
Retracements are temporary price reversals that take place within a larger trend. The key here is that these price reversals are temporary, and do not indicate a change in the larger trend.

Figure 1: An example of retracements in the price action of a particular stock.

Notice that despite the retracements, the long-term trend shown in this chart is still intact - that is, the price of the stock is still going up.

The Importance of Recognizing Retracements
It is important to know how to distinguish a retracement from a reversal. There are several key differences between the two that you should take into account when classifying a price movement:

*see below!
Figure 2 - *Note that short interest is delayed when reported, so it can be difficult to tell for certain depending on your time frame.

So, why is recognizing retracements so important? Whenever a price reverses, most traders and investors are faced with a tough decision. They have three options:

1. Hold throughout the sell-off, which could result in large losses if the retracement turns out to be a larger trend reversal.

2. Sell and re-buy if the price recovers, which will definitely result in money wasted on commissions and spreads. This may also result in a missed opportunity if the price recovers sharply.

3. Sell permanently, which could result in a missed opportunity if the price recovers.

By properly identifying the movement as either a retracement or a reversal, you can reduce cost, limit loss and preserve gains.

Determining Scope
Once you know how to identify retracements, you can learn how to determine their scope. The following are the most popular tools used to do this:

1. Fibonacci retracements
2. Pivot point support and resistance levels
3. Trendline support and resistance levels

Fibonacci Retracements
Fibonacci retracements are excellent tools for calculating the scope of a retracement. They are most widely used in the foreign exchange market, but are also used in the stock market. To use them, simply use the Fibonacci retracement tool (available in most charting software) to draw a line from the top to the bottom of the latest impulse wave.

http://i.investopedia.com/inv/articl...cements_2r.gif
Figure 3: An example of the Fibonacci retracement tool.

In most cases, retracements will stay around 38.5% (daily) or 50% (intraday). If the price moves below these levels, then a reversal may be forming.

SEE: Top 4 Fibonacci Retracement Mistakes To Avoid

Pivot Points
Pivot point levels are also commonly used when determining the scope of a retracement. Most traders look at the lower supports (R1, R2 and R3) - if these are broken, then a reversal may be forming.

Trendline Supports
Finally, if major trendlines supporting the larger trend are broken on high volume, then a reversal is most likely in effect. Chart patterns and candlesticks are often used in conjunction with these trendlines to confirm reversals.

Dealing with False Signals
Even a retracement that meets all the criteria outlined in our table in Figure 2 may turn into a reversal with very little warning. The best way to protect yourself against such a reversal is to use stop-loss points. Here is how you can do this:

1. You can estimate retracement levels using technical analysis and place your stop-loss point just below these levels.

2. Alternatively, you can place the stop-loss just below the long-term support trendline or moving average.

Ideally, what you want to do is lower your risk of exiting during a retracement, while still being able to exit a reversal in a timely manner.

The Bottom Line
As a trader, you need to be able to differentiate between retracements and reversals. Without this knowledge, you risk many things such as exiting too soon and missing opportunities, holding onto losing positions and losing money and wasting money on commissions/spreads. By combining technical analysis with some basic identification measures, you can protect yourself from these risks and put your trading capital to better use.
