st view.. people trade to make money.. it may go higher now.. but st plays the odds.. no profit if you dont take it.. small level of R to left on chart.. move is atm 2x the london move..uj will be a cheaper buy at 0878ish or less

regarding NK I see it as the world believes Kim to be a lunactic and aggressor, my question is does Lunatic/ aggressor = leader that has attacked no one in comparison to the country that has for 50 years had 40,000 troops on there border and crippled them with economic sanctions/ that starved 100,000s people. threatened to invade / take out / wipe out every time they have a new leader. does lunatic/ aggressor = someone that has had to build an army to defend against / or the illusion of defence , simply to stop what it has seen for decades an aggressive...
While i dont see KJU as misunderstood by the rest of the world, what i do see is, once again, the American Exceptionalism rhetoric getting us into regrettable situations. Like if the USA wasnt constantly reminding itself how omnipotent its military is (how else to justify all that spending), it might stop thinking of these regime change campaigns and other ways of throwing its weight around on the international stage as easy efforts without years long commitments after the fact. You really have to turn a blind eye to history (Vietnam anyone?), not to mention the lay of the land and strength of the opposition in question, to believe that the almighty US military could swoop in and dictate terms in NK without hundreds of thousands dead and a timeframe measured in decades. And thats if no one hits any red buttons. Kim Jung Un doesnt exist alone. Even if he and his closest were eliminated there are many understudies waiting to carry that torch.
Im a hypocrate because i didnt go to school but i believe the world would be a better place if Americans were required to get educated about our history instead of "learning" about it in Facebook memes when they are old enough to want to wear the false notion of all powerful American might like a badge of honor. A little humility and real world perspective would go a long way.

Anyway sorry for cranky old man rant. I like 1.068/69x for the daily roll.

i want to start some type of university. not the Trump type.. a real one.. you know, one where you get a phd on facebook reported history. how silly are we? we got the greatest source of fact (internet) ever known to the common man. and yet we take the word of a school mate because he can copy and paste bs. repeated millions of times than becomes perceived reality (alternative facts). trillions spent and we dumb down. history we lived through is being re-written as we speak..

Roll for today is .068x. Would prefer a close today under.

sisse, How do you play these levels in the midst of French elections, DT tweets and possible war?

Im getting confused again on Risk and clearing targets in trying to either keep a position or clear it and protect reward.

Why? Because, we were so close last time for Momentum play and losing the floor and you cleared incase .0630 got taken.

I cleared as well last week. Took a postion at .0730. Looking at clearing at the Roll. I'm not confident we won't see more of a retrace to .080x handle. Therefore, wouldn't it be better to clear at .068x.?

Lastly, Risk. I think I am getting confused. Risk on will lower the EU right. Risk on occurrs when there might be a war or disaster happening or possible and money runs to safe havens like Dollar, Treasuries.

Risk off runs to Gold and Eu climbs?

With French elections, is this risk on or off and how does this affect Eu? It's appears French elections have fed the retrace to .073x so far but why? Thanks

Risk off is a run from riskier assets to safety. Risk on is a run to riskier assets from safety. Looked like maybe you had that turned around in your post.
