Swedish police are calling it an attack it seems...
Sorry to say that but I have just been waiting for this also to happen in Sweden. The place is close to where the other attack happened for a couple of years ago. In the heart of Stockholm, lots of people.

I love the map, nice colors too.

My TP 2 is at your dotted line (1.0520), wont be playing this zone (flip) for a momentum trade....however if this flip is broken/retested/held I'll add another short. Momentum plays for me will be at your dotted line or the ST bottom

If you go by the old mofu we did on the Trump spike, we've bounced from the 50% aiming for parity

I share that 520 tp2 with you. Nothing for me to do in this zone as I took tp1 early at 690. Stops were paid for by doing that but in hindsight I should have stuck to my original tp1 at 640. Would have a tad more on the table right now if I had been more patient but no big deal there.

Reports are circulating that Syrian refugees and survivors are cheering "Abu Ivanka" (father of Ivanka) for his strikes on Assad. He's going to eat that up.

Europe going home in a rather soft day across the board .

Sad news from Sweden this time keep adding to the feeling something really bad is cooking in the background. Sure we have a good rally in all defence/arms sectors as was obviously expected since Trump got elected but I am not really sure how long markets can ignore political and security risk. Soft numbers will start scaring a few conservative hands. I personally think we are reaching the end of at happy times and easy ride in global equities ....setting the high of the year is around the corner.

For actual trading now, I keep smelling blood in the markets the last few days .... don't ask me an exact FA or TA reason why except experience .... take it for what is worth ...

Day is not done yet across the board...for now absolutely nothing to do but same levels, same trades, same all...

We may have something even bigger than that in play across the FX board....for now just a quick update from our conversation a few weeks ago:

{quote} i had it as missed a month back.. the risk at +115.62, and a missed norm at 115.61 seemed like a good r/r play for me.. if wrong, i will have egg on my face for 4 pips.. i could tighten up to 3 pips.. i just dont know what the spread will be and may get caught up in a spread widening rollover s/o.

Thats the one, if you do one the opposite way, we are heading towards the bull norm (around our TP 2) from the last ABCD swings....one of them is lying

Cracked 1.06x. Tough one. Wether we close the week under the 6 handle I mean. If so, I'd say 1.056x is a likely place. But my gut feeling is right on the line. 1.060x/1.061x bearish. Anyone for guessing at a W close?

1.054x.....Jejeje ...

A bit irrelevant at these levels but yes 1.061x is as you well know the main reference at this area (reference as it's not in play for today in my books....)

I'll see your 540 and raise you 20. If I win I only owe you half the beers I currently owe you (I'll do the math later but I know it's in the triple digits)

Ok take it....Let see ...

For real, today we don't have 'set' the low of D and W that's why we can't call the roll in comparison with the last few times we discussed.....Thing to explore while we wait...
