nh// Interesting points you raise. Timing is key as is politics and positioning over GB and EMU. If GB does not commit very soon they may never get a better deal. They may end up with parity between pound and euro rather than between the ten bob and the euro.

Ltn th - EUR is going up as a diversification by USD heavy asian countries not based on trade flows internal or external in the EU -- this movement may not be as bad as the hot money flows that wreaked havoc in 1997 but the EU could get whipsawed -- capital is leaving the core of the EU and being invested in some of the new members -- budget deficits in some of the larger EU members will probably hit 4% next year, trade levels are falling (in January textile agreements run out and even at $40 oil, energy imports are raising imports), Britain's current account deficit is over 5% and the overall debt levels rel. to GDP of France, Italy and Germany are equal or greater than the US

I think your optimism about the condition of the EU is misplaced

I was going to post this earlier, but as I was getting ready my network connection failed (thanks Aliant Nova Scotia)...

---old stuff----
Interesting numbers (non-techs please ignore, I'm workiing through some theory here...) from the EURUSD pennant mentionned earlier. I took the successive major lows on the 5 minute chart, at 13:45 yesterday,5:30 today, and 12:35 today. When the shanks formula is applies it gave the next low at 15:46. Not bad considering it happend at 1600 (all GMT). Using the current numbers gave the next low at 17:40 (real time at 17:30) - the break one way or the other should happen by 19:20. If it happens at all :) (PS Picking the lows once it gets weak like this is very subjective. I need to renormalize, but am not set up to do this yet. So it's all very handwavey...)

---new stuff---
On top of that, the demo prog I use to do my charts (MQ - really beautiful charts & connections) screwed up, so I had to use a live account (the no fail s/l guys, terrible charting service, buggy software) to update the chart. anyway, it's here; the times are eastern (grrrrrr). Obviously the break didn't occur (it would have gone out around the time the last uptrend ends.) But the top of the pennant held and there's a new downtrend (though not in very active markets). The Shanks formula can't be applied here because the wavelengths are increasing, but I am in a short EURUSD position from when I could get back online not that long ago. Not optimal, but the s/l is small. The breakout point is on the lower resistance line; it's intriguing how long it took to get back above the first resistance once it was broken earlier..
GL/GT, and I hope no one minds me taking up space like this. I just find it mathmatically interesting....

ZEW, DIW, domestic spending all are grim and exports are beginning to suffer.

Until we see those sorts of numbers there seems little chance of genuine US economic recovery. The euro,despite its various states posturing, seems destined for much greater gains than any of us envisage. We all await a more holistic set of policies and maths from the MOF before serious economic recovery globally.

Dollar will fall more, expert says
December 10, 2004 ?ѠTOKYO ?? The dollar's fall is not over yet, according to former Finance Ministry official and Keio University professor Eisuke Sakakibara.
In an interview with the JoongAng Ilbo, Mr. Sakakibara said on Wednesday that the Japanese yen will continue to rise until March or April of next year until it reaches 90 to 95 yen to the dollar. He added that the value of the yen will accelerate once the dollar hits the 100-yen mark.

U.S. Treasury Secretary John Snow suggested in an interview on Dec. 3 he wouldn't attempt to counter the dollar's slide. ``Markets can overshoot and undershoot, and they often do, but the virtue of markets is they're self correcting,'' he said. The White House yesterday said Snow will remain in his post as President George W. Bush begins his second term next month.
``He's been reappointed, so that tells us there's no confusion over the dollar policy'' in Bush's administration, said David Bloom, a currency strategist in London at HSBC Holdings Plc. ``Everyone is quite sure about the trend -- the dollar is going down and come the new year everybody will be fresh and ready to sell dollars.''

Bloom expects the U.S. currency to fall to $1.40 per euro and 98 yen by the end of next

If anyone is interested, I've built an FX-Risk Calcultor that shows what percentage of your underlying account balance is at risk on every trade, regardless of which currency pair you are trading - as well as showing P&L, pip value etc etc

You can also tailor it to suit your chosen degree of leverage, whether it be 50:1, 100:1 or even 400:1.

It's not rocket science (& not really suitable for institutional use) but it's a handy tool to have. There is no catch. It's totally free.

I read it as indirects were going for liquiduty and therefore shorter maturity 2's and specifically 5's where indirects were in the 45+ area.

The bid to cover was excellent and so was the yield. Just another example of taking one piece of an event or report have focusing on that solitary aspect rather than the overall result.

My 14:21 turned out accurate. Some pips available to the downside for Euro but cross current ends up with NY closing above the open. Euro upside is better for the coming sessions if there is no solid impetus for continued selling.

If nothing else, the strong amount of selling in prior sessions and a failure to continue the downside significantly says something usually I have found.

Wein GD

Back in my much younger days (the mid 1960's though early 1970's) when performance mutual funds were in their infancy, Adam Smith wrote a series of articles for the old NY Hearald Tribune which later became the book "The Money Game".

The term "guinslingers" evolved during that time period to reference the salaried and bonused trading portfolio managers who were simply running money (other peoples not their own) for fun and profit. The "establishment looked upon them as nothing more than "hired hands" or mercinaries, paid gunslingers if you will.

Treasury will sell $9lbn in 10-year notes at 18:00 GMT today. The current yield on the 10-year is 4.118%, vs., 4.13% on the close on Wednesday. Foreign central bank participation (indirect bids) will be wached closely as a measure of their interest in holding USD assets. In general, central banks have tended to avoid maturities of this length and beyond. We see no reason for that strategy to change today.

should we close under 1.3250 however, all my hopes will be put for 20 EMA and that mighty 1.32/1.3180 area so far and any break back above 1.3285 will be very bullish targetting recent high

i think it is running out of time, euro might test 1.3250 again and go up from there to close above 1.3270, friday as usual is rather suspicious for dollar selling, so i expect that scenario will continue, one thing that fellow traders may notice is that we have seen euro refused to close below 1.3270 for the last few trading days ever since we broke it from levels below and it was always followed by higher euro, so pay attention to today's closing price and compare it with last thursday for example

2) An alarming 31% of all women say they would not tell a future partner if they had a sexual disease. This rises for 65% for single women.
3) Nearly half (46%) fake orgasms and more than half (55%) make excuses such as tiredness to "get out of lovemaking".

Not expecting much more USD strength entering this session. Needs further impetus to gain from here significantly. These conditions have led me in the past to get caught in cross currents without much conviction. Sure, tradeable and pips are there but r/r questionable. Upside for Euro in coming sessions looks better.

OPEC meeting today in Cairo is vital to your position....as some oil ministers favour a cut in the access production, they effectively want to put a floor under the price in view of recent drop in price...if this is correct oil may spike by $2.50...one thing to maintaining a short oil position is that Saudi Arabia which is the worlds largest oil producer, does not support a cut in production and has stated that a buffer should be established...as the saudis have a lot of leverage at OPEC, the statement may support their view and thereby oil dropping further....g/t

Both usdcad and usdjpy are testing the upper end of the ranges and could break resistances especially if jobless claims are a bit lower than the 349k last week and the 335k expected for this week.

If so, the moves can be swift and rather siable as many will be cought with weak USD shorts. However, it is still just a small correction to the overall trend.

Every few weeks or months we go through this routine of someone posting trades on a very short term and overly frequent basis.

It gets tedious to lots of forumites since they, the posts, do not point out, in advance what startegy the writer has in mind but only what he or she has done after the fact.

I am with those who see it as prideful boasting rather than constructive or instructive information.Enough is enough, save those posts for a chat room.

That could be a good idea, a league table of traders, but i would point out it should only apply to live accounts. At the end of the day its a great deal easier trading a demo account, would the same strategy be applied to a real live account when real emotion is experienced. Perhaps you would want to categorise the table short term pip raiders to med. term prop . trading. at the end of the day there ia a gr8 deal of b-s*it on this forum so i wish you luck taking on such a venture.

Right, ZYour Statement is totally inaccurate. I have repeatedly said I usually trade off 30 minute and 1 hour charts. KL uses a much quicker signaling system than I do but it works well for him apparently and that's great. The only thing I have been doing QUICKER lately is that I take profit quicker than I used to because of the volatility of the market. So inherently I am taking more trades but nowhere near as many as KL. I may take 5-6 per session and I am flat now and have been for some time.

KL in doing these QUICKIE trades I have to stop manually using either CLOSE position OR MARKET order going opposite direction. If I enter stop at time of trade it will ALMOST every time get stopped out EVEN if market DOESN't hit my stop on other feeds. STOP hunting at it's finest. So if market prints as close as 2-3 pips from my stop elsewhere, they WILL take it!!!

I finally got to the bottom of those SL problems I have been experiencing. Apparently if the market price gaps by 2 pips or more over your sl level then it will not honour your sl. The solution is to have a few sl set and have whichever gets executed cancelled all other sl by linking them...like oco.....this is not good...imho....looks like in volitile time better watch like EAGLE EYE!!...I trust no systems...any of your platform/brokers have the same understanding??

btw shorted gbpusd at 1.9278...thinking of letting this one run even after BOE...but first there is more locking in 5 pips first...never want to lose!!!

MOSCOW (Dow Jones)--Russian financial market regulator Oleg Vyugin has called for greater transparency in the Russian central bank's foreign exchange policies and for a floating rate regime for the Russian ruble, the news agency Prime-Tass reported late Wednesday.

The banking system was shaken earlier this year by the central bank's abrupt decision to stop the ruble appreciating, causing many banks foreign exchange losses.

"The (central bank) is leading (Russian) banks astray," Vyugin said. "It is strange that officials are playing this game."

Missed many opportunities today for large PIP gain, but made some decent small trades, survived a bad upside down trap by cable, and exeeded my daily goal, so I guess it was a good night.

I'm tempted to do one more trade, but that is the one that always is a loser for me, so I will just call it quits - even though there is good movement.

Hopefully the AM will have some good movement too.

DJ.)Technical signals from NY BOT's USD Index which now around 82.04 suggest longer term USD downtrend intact, no strong basis to push USD up sharply from current levels, says technical analyst Andrew Torchia. Sees strong underlying resistance at January-February lows of 84.56-80 as attractive place to sell index on rally. If index breaks April 1995 low of 80.05, expect fall to stronger support on August 1992 low of 78.19 .

A surprise increase in employment sent Australia's jobless rate to a new 27-year low in November, reinvigorating expectations the Reserve Bank of Australia will need to raise interest rates next year and destabilizing minority calls for rate cuts. The unemployment rate fell to 5.2% in November from 5.3% in October as the number of employed rose 24,500, the Australian Bureau of Statistics said Thursday.
The unemployment rate is now at its lowest since the monthly series began in February 1978, and matches the February 1977 reading from the old quarterly series. Economists said the jobs data implies the economy hasn't slowed as much as official statistics suggest.

London 15:06.. exact market turning points are only evident in hindsight after the market had moved long past the previous tops & bottoms.. anyone who tells you they can consistently pin point the exact market swings in advance are born again Houdini wannabees.. one of the many tricks of the trade in this biz is to follow the market after it had taken out some major levels from a previous major or intermediate tops/bottoms (ie. turtles).. another trick is in applying good sound analytics to identify market reactions at/near major market levels or inflection points and scale in positions in anticipation of a directional change.. both methods (or any methods) requires sound risk & positional trade management tactics within the traders comfort zones in-order to enhanced ones longevity & make real money consistently in this biz..
as for 'quick change artists' who thinks they can beat the market trading micro noise swings.. while some of those rare breed may indeed exist in real life, had never meet any who can consistently make real money & survive over the long haul.. imo successful 'low risk' short term noise swing trading myths exist only in books & subscriptions hypes..

Not ready to pronounce the euro bulls dead yet, but it shuldn't have fallen so low so fast if there was real $$$$ buying interest at these levels I think. Cuold be wrong though......

Yday in Ldn session was talking to JF and after selling euro, gbp, aud and cad vs $$$ for a nice little run down, I proudly announced that "I was done for the day, its just giong to bounce around a bit in NY session", took the good pips and went to bed......to wake up to see that they all fell another 100 pips or so........what a way to start the day...Hahaha

I wanted to find out how much of a dent the bears would make on the bulls armor and I did. A valid effort by the bears in the eur/usd pair but they came shy at the end of the day. A close under the 3280-3300 area would have put more pressure on the bulls but as suspected eur/jpy did not sympathize with the bears this time as it reached the resistance (139.00-10) without many problems. With immediate resistance around the 3360-70 area I will wait to see how high this bounce goes while the indicators are finally turning bearish. I have no buy signal at this time so the bears might not be finished yet with this move.

Resistance for eur/usd pair stands now at 3380-3400, 3460-70, 3500-10 and 3530-40. Main objective is still around the 3500-30 area.
Immediate retracement numbers are 3400-10, 3350-60, 3320-30, 3290-3300 and 3245-3255.
Retracement numbers are 3340-50, 3260-70, 3200-10, 3140-50 and 3060-70.
Second wave retracement numbers are 3260-70, 3150-60, 3050-60, 2950-60, and 2830-40 for now key retracement number is 3140-50.
Resistance T/L 3550-60, 3400-10 and 3370-80 Support T/L 3020-30.
Support is around the 3300-20, 3250-3280, 3210-30, 3170-80 and 3040-60 for now key support is around the 3170-80 area IMHO. GL GT

ty// No, sorry, we've derailed in communication here...sorry...not talking short term nor equating today with 1 year ago..only saying long term it's typical of €/$ to peak after 1,000-1,500 pip upsurges, reverse, peak again about the same value as prev peak, reverse again..cycling 2-4 times like this in 450-500 pip quick sudden range jumps, forming more or less a double or quadrupple peak, then a 1,000-1,200 pip decline equal but mirror image of the incline which formed the peak in the first place. Since this pair is nearing the end of an incline from 2002, we'll see some real volitility & t/p hunting grounds well into Q1 05, hopefully into Q2 05. Great time to trade in my op. GT all..signing off 'til maybe Fri. New 'puter, broadband connection & platform all next week...fritz city.

dc fxq 22:56.. i think after letting the bulls blow past 1.30 & blew their chance in putting out the fire at the bud..the market dynamics of the last few days suggest they had adopted a psycho/passive 'get more bang for bucks spent' tactic instead of the reactive 'in you face' style of the past..
realizing time & money is on their side, they may be content with covert massaging of certain lines in the sand and let the mounting psychological pressures to play its tricks in the mind of the bulls for an orderly natural turn..
some objective thinking seasoned bulls will see the underlying writings on the wall and get out while the going is good.. where as the more subjective types & late comers joining the party will always add some last minute liquidity near the end of all trends..

quito_ecuador_valdez 01:26 GMT December 9, 2004 Reply   
See my post on Financial Forum.
Expect (but not a prediction!) €/$ 1.3000-1.3100 correction bottom (if this is indeed a "correction move" for €/$) because since 2002 has dipped 450-500 pips quick after forming a peak (as we just did shy of 1.35 since 1.22). Expect quick 450-500 pip ranges..2 to 4 of them culminating in a double peakish formation before a true decline in this pair's chart (based on history from 2002). Don't worry about grabbing all the pips..get what you're comfortable with, but don't get on the "wrong side" either...wait it out a bit when you close to make sure range move has maxed. Bias to swing trading & patience next 2 weeks to limit risk, maximize t/p's.
