That is an interesting GU rally here , wow. Even while EU stood still.

Even more interesting where it topped out, 15 min pin bar right on the trend line from the 1.48 lows, this could be pretty important going forward.

Have decided to go short based on this. Probably shouldn't be doing this, if anything shoulda been looking to buy earlier, because trend is up. But the risk reward is too good at this spot.

Why do folks on this forum refer to 'the banks' as some shadowy entity that steals all your money and is never wrong. The guys that you are REALLY trading against are as follows... Retail and Bank Positioning isnt even in the picture. Banks mostly only trade for other folks... and runs stops to make 3 pips here and there. When a move is starting, the players move as follows: Smart Money/ Discretionary Hedge Funds get on board to express a view, usually before the move is apparent. Systematic/Model Driven hedge funds jump onto the small momentum...
Well said, the price is reluctant to go up and feels like market is waiting for an excuse to drop euro to the downside.

Conditions for an omega at 1.35967 are forming. There is already one on my 1hr and 4hr charts. So, EURUSD is building a BUY.

BUY @1.36037

SL @ 1.35967


(7 pips SL)


tp = Your taste

At some point its idiotic to continue holding billions in overvalued Spanish and Italian bonds and equities while Fed is about to withdraw its QE program that has been such a support mechanism for these periphery European assets.
I agree with most of your post except for the end. The Fed isn't withdrawing their QE program, they plan on slightly (!!!) downsizing it...and will likely replace this downsizing with another mechanism (they just won't call it QE).

Shaving a few billion off an $85b/mo QE program can't be called a "withdrawal"

A few weeks ago, Fed said QE3 will run to $1.5Trillion while currently it has reached $1.1Trillion, so given that there's $400Billion left, tapering needed to smooth out the end impact.

Market clearly is not pricing in a Dec taper, but with another $85 billion gone, by Dec there's $315 billion left in QE3 and to ensure QE3 does not end too fast, they have to start taper and gradually increase the size of the taper. At some point, there will be a reckoning of this and USD will firm up. But question is when and how much more can USD sink against EUR before that. It's right to go long or short from here depends on the timeframe and expectation.

{quote} What is omega?
Don't worry about that. It is just the summary of all I have ever built for trading.

But one thing I discovered in trading and it is true is this: The signal for a buy/sell does not occur first on the lower timeframes -as many traders believe.
It is present first on the higer timeframes and then little by little the same signal appears on the other time-frames. Once, it appears on the 1min tf, price will normally be 10pips away from the best place to place your SL. Then you strike.

That is the role of my omega.

GU has made an impressive run. I expect a pull back. Will look to buy on a significant pull back to 1.6100ish. I can not see E/U going much higher. Holding Shorts from 1.3514 and 1.3552. Not Adding unless we reach 1.3700. I believe the fall will be fast and furious for Euro.

From what I have heard the Fed is considering multiple options to soften the blow of ending QE, whether that is a cut in the Feds deposit rate to 0%, lowering the unemployment threshold or outright purchases of short term treasuries to anchor the short end of the curve...

All of these measures depend on how the economy is doing. The recent flurry of Fed commentary has still communicated the same messages of tapering being data dependent and tapering isn't tightening. They hope promises of forward guidance will stop short term interest rates from blowing out. Just as Carney has struggled to control rate expectations int he face of a strengthening UK economy, Yellen will face a similar challenge.

I will commend the Fed in that they have successfully split the effects of tapering, the 10yr rate can rise but 2 years and in has remained relatively tame... especially since that EUR spike on July 10th Bernanke testimony that started this entire move down in the USD. Prior to July 10th long end rates would blast higher and very shorter term rates would do the same. Their constant pounding of the message that tapering is not tightening has taken effect, as 2 year rates have fallen significantly, and the 2y/10y spread has increased. The estimated first rate hike has gone from Dec 2014 out to the 2nd half of 2015.

All of this being said, every additional 200k+ NFP re calibrates the timeline of tapering, and if you bring tapering closer you also have to bring the first rate hike closer. This is all a game of if the Fed can control the short end rates market, which is the main driver of FX flows.

I think that major traders have a way of signalling to their colleagues, when to buy/sell. I have not seen this principle fail when I am watching the charts.
Once the signal is replicated on the 1min tf, price moves in the direction of omega. Notice that omega is always 10pips or less away from the current price.

Our buy is working well

Yeah, it could end up surprising us how high it ends up going. Buying the dip strategy intraday is looking really damn good right now.
