what if they will raise.. and uj drops and eu rises as oil rises, stocks drop... after knee jerk.. if it stalls dont hold above or below release level.. taking some small uj shorts now 110 and eu small long's 1213.9 ish. .. closing them if it dont stall in the next 100 pips.
EU has only risen since last raise

the rates / dollar argument is strong in theory, weak in practice

if uj manages to get back to 109.55 today, no big deal. if it managed to get to 109.54, and closes below, its probably a real big deal.

Good evening, morning, afternoon. Looks as though SPX has dropped 30 odd points in the last hour but Usd/Jpy has gained 30 odd pips? Not sure if this is normal. Does anyone have any explanation?

Those of you able to trade today are lucky. Forex is constantly freezing and hanging today. Unable to execute any trades with Forex during these important trade times. Those that know of good brokers who do not have such problems please share some names.

FOMC min's smelled hawky. Wouldnt really equate those 30 points each like that though.

for now.. if it looks to bounce above 1288.. i will just cancel pending.. i may have missed entry. market is in digestion mode.. the fed will raise if market conditions allow.. different words meaning the same as the last 18 months.

granted w/o bs.. the fed will raise, if they feel it's time.. if you like to pay goldman to tell you this. copy and paste this on a goldman letterhead.
its perception of fundies.. the fundies happen after a raise if not priced in..

That is a smaller leg from the double top. Take the 1143 point and run it down to the next swing low. Where are we now?

Not sure if the USD even at these levels has all that shit priced in already though. Higher rates will slow the economy down anyway. Seems counter to every currency appreciation theory that a heightened interest rate in a cooled economy would appreciate the currency any further. Technically the USD is going down. There is nothing that will stop it. Hell even Bitcoin is about to go north against USD.
The coincidental success is more dangerous than the expected failure

Well, let's see if I get it. I got current pa at level 1/2 way to target 1466. That's if I'm using 082x as the swing low. When you get a second let me know if I got that right. Gives me a mid point of 0982 but I'm not sure how to understand or what to do with that. I see you, G, Rock use the tools like that, seemingly to 'measure' levels between targets rather than just picking tops and bottoms of pa moves. I am trying for an understanding of that but so far can't quite get it.

Well done you have some nerves
I am adding short GJ here @160.55. I already have 4 shorts at levels 159.11 - 159.60 - 159.95 - 160. 20. This is going to be a swing trade, actually I am testing the water with crosses. If anyone is on the same boat, I would appreciate their view.
