Trying not to repeat our mistake last time we were here

Weekly is a long wicked doji spinner with no HH so far....mid week...US unemployment tomorrow with thin market. This bitch could end up right back where she started as a gravestone

Marked out doji, Hatch always yells at me for that error

Summer is kicking into swing too, areas here are hiring for summer employment

He's particular on doji's and spinners.

They're all doji's to me.

It's more of a poke at him- maybe it'll convince him to come back and smack me

{quote} Right. What's missing is that chart in Tradingview, because Tradingview let's you subtract one ticker from another so you can see the spread between them. I found the one with yields for 10 year T bills at Trading view, but that chart for Bunds is the one I can't find there. I know how to get both of them on one chart other places, but those places don't let you subtract one from the other.

maybe try this one:

when I remember correctly, their downloader should also fetch bonds


plus

you can easily program to build the spread

On Investing.com you can download all the data you need:

So as backup solution you can go via Excel

USD Weak.
I expect AU to 0.8400/0.8500
GU to 1.5950/1.6000 Yearly Pivot
Gold with a nice rally we might see 1230 1250 tmw...
EU 1.15 at least
UJ is taking forever .(the longest I have ever managed to hold a position..)

To close or not to close that is the question..

{quote} ....and that was it. Clearing final intraday target 1.135x. Not expecting much for the rest of th day in the Euro ....sisse

...and surprise surprise we are rolling around 1.135x.

A fairly neutral close at these levels. V choppy Asian session expected and with only London open tomorrow in Europe (they already rode the swing from the low of this week so....) a quick opening range expected before leaving the floor for the US to close a potentially KEY rolls across main markets.

All eyes in the DOLLAR!!! for the close tomorrow ....

I have 1423 too but the mofo and ADR (1473 for an up day) says it's going to at least 1480. 1420 is the ADR IF
it's a split day (starts up and then reverses.) This fib has been very well-behaved - respecting all the levels.

Have 1440 as the 3/4 mid and a previous London range edge, maybe for intermediate stopping place

A very quick opening range as suspected with London crashing the highs and unlocking exhaustion leg to the highs of the 1.15xx handle with intermediate stop at 1.146x.

Hard work done fast so expecting session to be over at the top of next hour leaving the floor for NY to drive the day.

Nothing to do here in the euro at this time and levels ...
