What's most worrying...

I have a young nephew...two actually...but the younger one is a beaut...motivational star! Anyway...my sister came to me and asked if I could give my eldest nephew some kind of gig. I have a software/data-infrastructure obligation after May15th on the gig I'm on. I'm "dummy/shadow-paying" my nephew (out of my pocket, obviously) to monitor things as if it were the REAL deal! He's failing!

Poor little bastard doesn't realize that I can track him through the PS4 I bought him and his brother for Christmas.

Anyway...I just harshed his (killing-spree) mellow through my sister. Damn kids!

I just don't want to pull the plug. Fine line. Just wish he'd wise up!!!

Wise up, mofo!

.... In any case, as widely expected since last week roll. Intraday chop zone (1.068x / 1.073x) completing and narrowing before NY. Risk play for the rest of the week. 1.063x wide open for a test with max extension 1.058x before any real momentum to the downside. To the other side nothing to see with 1.073x holding. GL all trading the rest of the week. sisse
We managed to breach 1.073x but the move was short lived and was met with heavy loading short. As widely expected all eyes on the 1.073x for the roll to unlock a test of yearly lows on risk ...nothing to do here except wait to see how it pans out. Same levels, same trades, same all...

Yeap because risk with the Greek BS is setting to be the play.

Check equities, DAX held the intraday break down from the sell off. Losing floor (the lows) opens pandoras box across the board (remember those -3% / -5% day in the good old financial crisis days...) for a day or two of risk that we haven had in the last 2 years.

Most of the bastards are strangely careful this time with Greece (I think they know that the end of the road is coming soon for good or for all)

They are staying a bit sidelined until the confirmation of a deal or a small initial default in Greece (the first small IMF payment looks like a good option) which "coincidentally" comes with the FED play too next week that will certainly will have a difficult time dodging the hints on when the hikes are coming...

We'll see but by experience, when the bastards are careful ...we better be careful too ...

Quick phone-typing...

Sorry if I've been a little late posting charts. I'm running a little ragged on the road...and I'm also a little outside of "The/My" game. Been a couple years since I've been trading/Forex Factoring full-ish time. I DID used to place my PO's hours/days in advance...Trade Explorers, too. I will again. OR...my freshly orders taken...will post...within seconds. BUT...

I'm a contrarian/scaler...never follow! I risk MY money to make MY money. I'll NEVER place a suggested call...ever!

Its been interesting getting to know flows again...they change when you step away. I used to trade EU...AU...EA...Gold...pretty much exclusively. EU less and less toward the end of my last go round. EU is generally my "pulse" of the market...for obvious (trillion$) reasons. Things HAVE changed, though. So be it.

Current (and foreseeable) radar...

EU...AU...(EA/Gold/DAX)

That's it for me. See me place a trade outside of that complex trifecta... ... ... well...you won't. Not a chance! :-)

Play safe!

{quote} going to take a break until next week and/or the riddle around 1.06389 is resolved.
we are still here.

I was flat on the EU after last week, got a short from the top, and a long from the bottom, both of which have been closed. Don't really foresee another trade on it until either of those are revisited and/or the EOM.

UCAD has my attention, and will as long as it makes the slow climb up (usually to be bitch slapped back down in a session or two), along with AUD at the moment.

Sorry...a point I was trying to make...

When yer a contrarian/scaler...and you survive (no Marty!)...and get yer finger on the pulse...

You stop having to scale in as much. You need to...or else you won't make as much. Anyway...

Hoping to not get ahead of myself too much, but...

My entries seem to be better than I would have thought. Tempted to up my initial lot-size...and reduce my level of scale-in...ish.

Well they can kick the can this week thats for sure but the main problem is that the end of road is getting closer and closer. This week is just noise from the eurocrats and more than probably will end up with some kind of a "wishi washi" announcement to give Greece 2 weeks to make the mother of all plans again, blah blah....

The real deal come with the IMF repayments in May/June. They will have to do miracles to kick the can further from there and even if they manage to do it, there is no way out of the repayments coming later in the summer and with absolute 0 euros in cash to pay the bureaucracy including teacher, doctors and police, etc ...and that is definitively the end of the road...so this time is reform or reform or die alone.

Surprise surprise ...and we rolled 1.073x... bearish close for the main leg but still neutral intraday as long as 1.071x holds. Waiting for a tweet/comment/slip/gossip/last minute report to trigger the domino for the risk play until Friday ... Nothing to do here except see how it pans out ....
