{quote} stu ... if i agree whit sisse doesn't mean, to use your own words, i am a "subservient follower" and stating this is "plain stupid" ... maybe i'm on this idea BEFORE and INDEPENDENTLY from sisse's post, no? Plus Sisse and many others of us repeatedly said not al brexiters are xenophobic and racist as you stated but that nearly all xenophobic an racists are brexiters ... there is a considerable difference between these two statements: Brexiters=xenophobic NO xenophobic=brexiters YES ... AND HOW COULD BE DIFFERENT? could ever a xenophobic...
Ok so you agree with Goose back to trading but only once you have spoken. There is irony here I think.
The reason I say subservient as it is very rare for active followers here to call a halt to the arrogance of the man in declaring his views as facts. The point is missed about racism as most want to skirt around the issue and the race card is the easiest to pull out the hat. In uk primarily I will stick my neck out and say the bulk of Brexit voted leave because of loss of cultural identity, the desire for self governance. The cultural identity issues arise from the the steps towards Islamisation. We have long tradition of immigrants, Chinese, Indian, African, West Indies etc but apart from some minor issues on the whole they have integrated and accepted. Which dispels the racism nonsense. Yes obviously some people will be racist without a doubt but that is not the driver in this instance. The driver is resistance to Islamic ideology pure and simple.

Very strong opening range ...and should cap it for today till the FED otherwise we are going for a major clean sweep across the board. Important updates coming from the European close too... sisse @goosebone and @roobii @change...why bother mate, it takes less than 1 min and reading 2 sentences to recognise an honest opinion from a different side from those with limited education and IQ alpha chimps,...
I don't troll I straight talk mate and references to dick swinging, chest beating uneducated chimps further highlights your childish outlook of my way or no way.

*yawn* ^^

So risk off. As evidenced by equities drop, demand for yen, should likely also result in demand for treasuries (some signs of that today) and show up as dollar weakness except Fed expectations are a force as well and are at the moment, keeping that from playing out in a big way in the dollar yet? Anyone?

Guys, watch monthly close coming tomorrow. Weekly told nada and daily no important brake. Let the dust settle after this first "risk off hint". SM is positioning for main events this week and as it looks now BOJ might be most important of all coming next AS. Most of all answers atm after BOJ.

{quote} So your answer is "wait until a terrorist from one of those countries commits an act of atrocity and then ban them" and simply ignore what Europe is experiencing with immigrants from those countries. In Europe this is nor fearmongering, it is reality. If the US drops its guard in the same way that Merkel has in Germany, you too could have some of these lovely people. I see nothing wrong in severe vetting[/quote The answer is having a better congruent system ... I would respect the ban more if he outright banned all

Sorry roobii, I did respond, but apparently I have infringed the FF rules by (I assume) posting headlines from European news

..might not be up to date but for what it's worth the last update I have on sisse's outlooks was a change to sell short term on 17th of this month

"-> Final update from today:

--> Rolling back short term outlook in Euro from neutral to sell till ECB."

You mean just because I want all the answers right now I can't necessarily have them!? What an injustice.
I see what you mean. I'll try patient and observant. I hear it works sometimes.

ECHF finnaly taking off 0680, perhaps on a bit of risk play, structurally nothing has changed since while ago still leaning towards cleaning 0620 and then lower most likely.
Didnt manage to get any shorts now entering micro only phase, could be hard to play that from my view.

Been there, it really is a problem if you are using volatility adjusted positioning, where you have to change lot size all the time. Not sure if thats your case, but it trully is a problem (even for any other reason), best you can do is to make double sure you typed correct number. The problem of MT4 is that it does not allow indicator to easy calculate such thing and output your position, it has to be done either trough EA or outside software and it just complites the shit out of it.
Its really one of those things that you should add as addition to "1% risk per position" as your holy grail risk on trading. So it goes like this: wrong lot number + black swan event+ default 1%, all relevant, just the first two thankfully statistically much less, none the less pretty much everyone goes trough all of them.

Very heavy markets today trying to shake out the losses but Brexit article 50 and FED will keep them in check until then.

-> Key update from the European close. UK (if its stay as UK and not only England) is ready to jump in a very lonely ride for the next few years with a rather not so open for friends pal across the Atlantic. Article 50 is pretty much a done deal the formality in the Parliament and as widely expected in the timeline for the dominos triggering the 3er cherry in the slot machine:

--> For the first time since the early morning in the Referendum vote changing short term outlook in UK equities from Soft Buy to Sell for now but it may be updated to soft sell with the BOE (not expected).

We have long, mid and short term outlooks aligned for the first time since 2009....BOE could set up the tone for inflation or kicking the can for a further meeting but not much further. Whatever the case, Sterling* mid term bottom is 'inches' away while the weight start translating to Equities and to lesser extend consumers that wlll have to start paying a heavy toll on real wages and inflation.

On the rest of the board, Euro held solid as suspected via soft risk and US equities with the upper hand screaming at Trump for a Tweet on the fiscal front instead of the populist BS.

We are set for very very moving sessions across the board in the upcoming days and weeks.

Tracking the close and the roll today.

I will keep it bookmark for reference and to track the [checks] later. I honestly hope I am very wrong in this one as otherwise we are going for a very sad and bloody [literally] market ride down but I if I am right and there is blood everybody should have a clear list of who was who for accountability later.
