The Really Useless Thread

... although not directly traded here in the thread (except for traders like @USD-Bear,, etc) 10th and final key update because of the implications across the board:

--> Changing mid and long term outlook in 10y US T Bonds from Neutral to Sell for the first in nearly 4 years ....

That will wrap up a plethora of updates in a major GAME CHANGER play... We don't get this often. If there is the first one you have witness and would like to learn how to track markets or a trick or two:

Check this post, make your own maps during the weekend. Time those implications, Try to grasp the key correlations, check how it pans outs as some of the updates will last for a while [but the money is in the inner flows...DIRECTION, DIRECTION, DIRECTION ]....but if you manage to get in synch (and right of course) you will have a dramatic impact in your trading performance and a huge edge over blind TA or the average soft retail traders [TRADE EXPECTATIONS NOT FACTS] ...

Another Epic day in the markets... major changes this year with only the last short term play of the year left: DEC FED.

GL and well done all who grabbed some trades in the last couple of sessions ...

All politics are local. Can't remember who said that but they were right. As far as im concerned all national and global effects of this election take a backseat to my fear of a new brand of US/Cuba relations disrupting the even, unbridled flow of aged rum across the warm Florida straits into my cabinet.

I see Danske were spot on with their reaction to a Trump win. This from 04-Nov: "We believe global equity markets would fall 3-5% on a Trump win but we would see this as a buying opportunity."

Just goes to show we shouldn't dismiss the banks' opinions as lies that are meant to deceive us.

Yes! It is very hard to keep of track of all his outlooks. It would be great have them all in one static place, and the best place for that on here would be either the first post in a thread (which you can edit any time as thread owner), or on his profile page. I see that the sentiment tool isn't great in this regard (doesn't even include bonds?), and I'm not sure if you can add more than one sentiment for each instrument in order to include short-term, mid-term and long-term. So the other option would be in one of the "About" sections. Could look a bit messy though. Any other ideas? I know Fhadl created a document for it but it's the same problem about putting it in a static place that's easy to find.

I've been out of action for over a week with a mild form of pneumonia, and am just catching up with all the interesting posts on here. Lots of political stuff I see! But not much fighting... which is a credit to this thread and all its participants.

Just one thing about the Gourmet Trader post several pages back: does anyone else get the feeling Sisse is explaining his famous "role play" here, without actually mentioning it? I mean, the slope of the "invisible line" and all that? I need to digest it a bit more and then apply it to his role play calls, but I think that's what it is.

...and I will take that in UJ. Clearing main target with the test 106.4x. Well done all that rode it from the election flow 101.8x or from the 103.xx handle on the European play yesterday ...

European session over but expecting a solid US session today before we go into the long weekend in the Americas....

outlook doesn't change from soft buy or buy to directly sell ... there is normally a neutral outlook in between to decide whether the outlook should be changed or not
