EUR/US : The following is still a good reference :-

EUR/USD : My system is still suggesting a trading range of 1.1751 - 1.2382 within Aug - Sep and the mid-point reference is 1.2067. Some of the viewers are very upset to see a range forecast of 600 pips. However my system is very easy to follow since all my projected chart points are interelated and are separated by a constant or its multiple. One can easily fine tune the trading ranges by dividing them with any integer.

o o o.... after a night of exciting olympic games, the fx also made an olympic run....

dlr/cad good show coming NEXT....

aud/nzd is now in 110 pips waiting more upside move coming.
the only trouble is the gbp long, but not to worry, p/t the two dlr/jpy shorts last night at 109.50. I suspected some official interest was on there to prevent the move went too fast.

But no one wants to help the eur/jpy...

ldn//especially for you! Your gold now under your 404 entry...
aud/jpy, not to mention, 220 pips deep red in the pocket...
You cloud indicator ignored the bigger trend, together with so many news-feeding-related trade was the trouble.

I will only add gbp long when some serious fib retracement target reached in weekly chart. Hopefully around 1.78-1.77 area.

EUR/USD

Trying to refine things - the small scale cycle low should come in on Friday or Monday, and I'm leaning towards Friday.

This would imply that we'll basically sell off into the Greenspan speech on Friday, and then move up out of that low on "news".

No projections yet on how much of a bounce up we'll get out of that low, but it's not going to be a lot. All other cycles just about as bearish as it gets.

gbpjpy is resting above TL coming off Mar31 and Jun24 - downside doesn't stop till 195

major stop buy level where bears must rethink is todays high 1,2065/70 level.

I think it will be useful in trending moves this fall. I am working on a "project" to determine the average intraday pullbacks in trending/swing moves on gbp-usd and then eur-usd. With the statistics on how big the pullbacks typically are, hopefully we can also decide on the ideal trailing stop level for the platform in question:->

About 5 minutes ago there was a 200 pip spike on NDZ/USD on my platform up to 6687
Anybody seen the same on their platform?

GA TJ 18:16 GMT August 24, 2004 Reply   
My platform just implemented a Trailing Stop feature. It works like this.
For Example:

You buy GBP/USD at 1.8241, and place a stop at 1.8231, with the trailing-stop feature set at 50 pips. If and when the GBP/USD rate goes to 1.8291, your stop-loss order will automatically move to 1.8281. This would lock in a profit of 40 pips. The stop loss order would move up continually every time the GBP/USD rate increases by 50 pips.

After setting your Trailing Stop rate, you can adjust it at a later time by left clicking in the Open Positions window under the column labeled Until Tr. Stop Move. A Stop Order window will come up, you can adjust the rate selected next to Rate Min. Move, and hit the Change button. You will then see the setting updated in the Open Positions Window.


Does anyone hae experience using this type of traing stop? If so would you share your experiences? Typically my Trail for a long posi would be to take the Highest High of the trade - X Pips. X varies depending on the pair.

So still moving hard down nto the minor cyclical low of August 30th. Another 200 Points to go I think.

After that a bit of a bounce and then onwards into the major cyclical low around mid-Novemeber.

Gold, I suspect, will follow a similiar pattern.

I'm looking at the big trendline on eur/usd from march 2002 low and sept 2003 low, and i see that today is the strongest penetration of it ever. it's been under attack at the beginning of the month, but the candles (daily) were.. lacking courage, so to speak.. it just hovered within 100 pips (which is a blip when talking about a multi-year t/l, imho) and shot back up. Not this time, it seems. We have 3 days dominated by really determined sellers. But then again, if I was to defend a level, I'd defend 1.20. I'd have much more going my way then.. all things considered, i'm looking at 1.20 to break sometime soon. Price moves down to shut off selling, however, so we just have to see where we'll find balance in this move..

But my daily stuff still has plenty of room on the top side. I think I posted a while ago about the potential double bottom in the 1.2150/1.2200 area. Confirmation lies in the 1.3150/1.3200 area. Three days does not make a trend but it looks like it might try for that number. Thats 400 pips away. Am considering letting this posi do its thing and see what happens. IF nad that is a big if, it gets to 1.3150 then all bets are off as it could very well fall and fall into a range market. Thats the big picture I am looking at.

Referring to my post of the 31st of july we are a seeing a faster of the downward bias in august than the previous 2 months...so bottom line is if aud can break 7020 convincingly its good night aud for the rest of the year...57 looks more and more visible...should euro break and stay below 11980 its also good night for rest of 2004 with 110 looking visible by years end..the resistance levels for both pairs below these levels are not significant....good trades....

NT 06:37 -- Oil may correct for short-term towards 40-45 region..But medium to long term,Oil and the commodities are in mega bull market based on real demand growth from China and India,40% of the whole humanity..Oil and Commodity markets should concentrate more on demand growth side which is a real driving force in these markets..There are too many short-term specs from time to time which needs to be cleaned out but the underlying conditions in these markets are fundamentally bullish..Either China and India's modernization drive collapses or Oil is used up opening a new chapter to another era in the end..Whichever comes first,the Oil and the commodities are to ride once in our life time mega-bull-ride for years to come ..Forex market or even stock markets look like the market for retired folks in their 80's when compared to Oil and Commodity markets these days..

Bollinger Bands (BB) and 2 x Standard Deviation boundaries assume a normal distribution of the data.
Currency prices are NOT normally distributed but display a leptokurtic (fat-tailed) distribution. If they were they would never leave the Bollinger Band confines by much. But they do of course, on a sharp breakout.

In a sideways market hourly ranges might be nearly normally distributed and BB might be used for range trading. An hourly 100 point eur HILO would NOT be contained in a normally distributed data set, but be in the "fat tail" on each side of the bell-shaped distribution curve.

BB are a good tool, but during a breakout they will NOT contain prices.

Miami OMIL - 7-8 years ago I attended at seminar called "trading psychology". there I met an Indian guy from Miami (seriously, not joking). Was rookie trader ready to absorb anything, more like a swamp. ready to take/accept everything what older/wiser guys said.
and this guy said that he have used his new Teletrac tradestation for optimizing bollinger band parameters. and he have found that 13 days moving average work best for trending markets. so, I came back to europe and put this parameter to my system and using it ever since. it sounds stupid but it serves me well :)

For me this does not suggest to jump in and sell usd but rather better protect if you have usd longs. Truth be known future direction (ie 1.1950 or return to 1.2300) will come with 1. the data later this week and 2. Fed speak come Friday. Having said that we know that the Fed will be cheering the economy on as best they can. Risk is if the data comes bad they suffer big time credibility gap.

WATCH FOR THE SHOW!!! If something will go wrong it willnot be supportive for the USD ! It's really a poker game.

NAJAF, Iraq (Reuters) - Iraqi security forces moved to within 400 yards of a holy shrine in Najaf on Tuesday, just hours after the government warned Shi'ite rebels inside they would be killed if they did not surrender.

"God willing, we'll be moving in tonight," a commander of one unit told Reuters, adding that around 500 Iraqi troops had been deployed to the area around the Imam Ali mosque, the first time government forces have entered the battle zone.

The advance was carried out by 50 servicemen and came after U.S. helicopters fired missiles and strafed militia positions in a cemetery that adjoins the mosque, where most of the Mehdi Army loyal to radical cleric Moqtada al-Sadr have holed up during a bloody three-week rebellion in the southern city.

A U.S. soldier guided the men in. They were shot at by Mehdi militiamen and returned fire.

"We are in the last hours. This evening, Iraqi forces will reach the doors of the shrine and control it and appeal to the Mehdi Army to throw down their weapons," Defense Minister Hazim al-Shalaan said at a U.S. army base outside Najaf.

"If they do not, we will wipe them out."

One more thing about Bollinger Bands. IF they are NOT running parallel to the graph...in other words say angling UP at 30-45 degree angles, THAT is a bullish sign or vice versa For instance, look at GBP/JPY 1 hour....the bottom bollinger band is angled DOWN at 40 degree angle or so so THAT is a BEARISH sign. Even tho price action is at or near bottom bollinger band

I appreciate your explanation re the BB's. But I guess I didn't learn anything new, and that's probably just my failing to grasp it! While one might argue that the large moves over the last few weeks and days were 95% contained by the BB's, and that as price moved 150 pips or so down the inside wall of the Bollinger yesterday, that that slide was "conained", I sure wouldn't want to bet my shirt against a huge breakout with a 30 pip stop for example.

BB's have their usefulness of course but every trader needs more than one tool in his kit, because all indicators will fail fairly frequently. Thanks.

RE: GBP/JPY has a quirk in that approximately every 60 pips you find resistance and support points. For example 198.19 was resistance and if you noticed it shorted down initially to 197.60 and bounced but then went back thru 197.60 and most likely will see 197.00 area with potential bounce from there, This is why it also is a good idea to TP on 50-60 pips. This is also why it takes pretty wide stops to keep possie in, While this pair can be VERY profitable, it is probably one of the most dangerous pairs on the board. Some of us refer to it (improperly, I am sure!!!) as a racehorse due to it's movements, Generally you do not and can not ride it for long. Overall BIAS is short. MOST should NOT trade this pair. If you do use smaller lot sizes to allow for wider stops. AT times it technically is unchartable.

EUR USD. There are substantial differences between now and the previous Jul 19 EUR drop from highs. While option market was more or less the same, apart a little more flattening, margin pos. and also the less reliable IMM were different, though they were long. Now are quite large, even after yesterday, and you have to go to DEC 03 to see something similar. The other interesting fact (at least for me, not sure for many) was that medium termers were rather short than long at that time, when they were compared to their average, and indeed they provided in the following days/weeks a good demand, during all the EUR drop. Now on the contrary they are caught already long, and in relative terms very long. Not pain for now at these levels, and perhaps there will not be, but who knows later, should EUR dip furtherly.
Another difference was in economic sentiment, either general US e.s. or US/Europe. At that time it was more optimistic on US, thus eventual good news were taken in a softer manner, now are in very pessimistic mode, thus should be more sensible to good US surprises.
Other measures, credit, liquidity, and risk aversion are similar to that time. Either 10 or 2 spreads aren�t too much different.

Finally regard to another argument JPY margin pos are very short. Last time I saw those levels was at beginning of March. (Those pos. aren�t usually well reflected by IMM). FWIW.

van don 09:42 GMT - bollinger bands calculated by using a standard deviation either side of the moving average. basically 2 standard deviations statistically contains 95% of price action.

bollinger bands are sometimes very usefull tools. if price moves from one extreme above or below mid average then it will most likely test other extreme. also rule that if price close outside the band it is most likely will move the price in the same direction as long as moving average not penetrated again. so, yesterday we fell under middle average of the bollinger band and immideatley rush toward lower band.

most likely you have heard about normal distribution at school. at some stage statistic says with probability 99,0% or 99,9% probability that prices will stay in certain range. thats why I said euro cant fall too far below bollinger band. it is just staistically almost impossible.

The reversal in oil prices isn't necessarily bad news for commodity currencies. Goldman Sachs points out they're not all equally sensitive to oil and shifts in interest rate expectations play a big part. With commodity currency central banks set to preserve a tightening bias, the likes of NZD, AUD and CAD should be underpinned against falling oil prices

Up move pattern to get target 419.60 is on the wedge pattern to get correction soon. Probability correction to get 395.50 for daily candle formation is objective now. Level 395.50 is the danger level because very ideal to invite buyres in action to get 419.60 except 419.60 be touched early. If 419.60 be touched early, that�s mean 395.50 is not important number and easy to pass.

European interest rates are too low leading to replacing labor by capital. En plus since european consumers hate to buy on credit they have to save more because of too low interest rates and most of the european pension funds are in trouble due to too low interest rates.Unfortunately european burocrats and central bankers do not need to save for their lavish pension plans paid by european tax payers so they do not understand the mechanism of compound interest rates.

Price pattern have signed will go to get first layer top target at 110.24. If that level be broken and show you 110.30, this case mean give us message that chart will go to second layer top at 110.66 (minor).Middle pattern to catch 110.89 still objective until now. Shoot distance maximal high from lately pattern is 111.15 as the top extreme. Down pattern to get 109.35 seen have little time now.But if 109.35 be touched ,high probability price will wake up to go higher so fast. Daily candle pattern still be capped on the oscilation target from 109.09 till 110.89, but to go 110.89 will meet strong resistant at 110.24.

Aud/usd
made when price 0.7097
Until now price pattern still capped in the oscilation move from 0.7061-0.7145 or 0.7162. When price move on that oscilation way seen resistant at 0.7179 and potential to invite buying reaction from there when price on the way to get 0.7061. If price move out of that oscilation and show you 0.7050 that�s mean high possibility price will go to 0.7013 as the bottom target intraday and make chart will go to finish weekly pattern with target low band at 0.6940. If the fact 0.6940 be touched, that�s mean weekly oscilation give high probability go to the top target at 0.7486. Low target oscilation is 0.6940 will be objective with age only 89 weeks from now. For now high probability price will go to top weekly target 0.7486 early.

As Fed takes on the role of head cheerleader, position adjustment makes life difficult for those holding a fundemntal view. Oil eases, stocks short cover, bonds come off, and everyone thinking the usd is a fundamentally weak currency is given lesson in complacency is not a good thing.

From current levels I'd be tempted to think that without 24 hour follow through of usd strength, these levels (1.2050-1.2150) look attractive to medium term usd bears, and asian central banks that were sellers from above.

Shanghai bc // I have been reading yr posts on China and you are obviously bullish. Everybody is expecting a strong re-activation of chinese imports in September-October. Look at the BDI shipping index, etc. This seems to be in contradiction with other indicators. Korea & Taiwan exports are getting sluggish. US GDP is correcting down fm 1st to 2nd quarter. What keeps US floating in its comsumption exhuberance is the buying of US bonds by private investors and central banks, buffering an USD devaluation. The US is close to a 5.1% of GDP in indebtness, if I recall, just before the crash of 1987, the US had abt 3,7%?
If the US starts seriously raising interest rates, which wld cool down oil prices & their housing bubble, it should automatically cool down the chinese economy.Do you agree?

good morning world!
hows life? surviving :)
good, lets continue from where we stoped.
SELLING euros on every uptick is still my best idea for today.
although yesterdays move lower was a bit quicker what was expected and for now we near lower bollinger band. which of course doesnt matter euro cant move lower :)
todays target to keep bulls in pain is 1,2060/70 area.
maximum low today I can see is 1,2010/20 because it cant move too far under bollinger.
anyway, selling near 1,2165/75 area would be reachable. if we dont reach that then of course orders must be brought lower. lets see.
first order to add short positins stands at 1,2169 right now.
good luck

I usully gloss over such nonesense writings, but this time I will make an exception
1987 was a CRASH? Are you out of your mind? have you looked at the yearly chart--it was a HIGHER HIGH-HIGHER LOW and HIGHER CLOSE. The 1987 WASHOUT was the SIGNAL FOR THE BIGGEST BULL MARKET IN THE HISTORY OF MANKIND and the market made sure that AS FEW AS POSSIBLE DUMB TRADER JOIN AT THE BOTTOM!
Dow jones since 1982 (reagan productivity revolution) NEVER MADE A LOWER LOW on the YEARLYCHART for 18 years.

According to you if we are in a similar phase like 19887-that means we are in front of another 13 year of VERTICAL MOVE in EQUITIES.

[EUR/USD] seems to be supported by the good orders around 1.2130-20 with some players talking about Asian interests. Technical points are not reliable for this pair as the Eur/Jpy and Eur/Gbp are giving influences on the headline flows. There are some more bid interests towards 1.2100, and stops as well, but main orders are to the topside that are from long players who missed to join the overnight decline. Basically the Eur/Usd will always feel the pressures of the Eur/Jpy.

I do not have an intraday buy signal for eur/usd yet but I am compelled to believe that the support will hold for now. Intraday indicators are finally beginning to turn now that the 1.2120-30 support has a hold on the bear progress. I have retracement numbers as long as support holds like this 1.2220-25, 2250-55 and 2280-85. Resistance now is around 1.2175-85, 2210-20, 2250-60 and 2290-2300 for now. Support is 1.2085-95, (bottom of pennant) 2030-40, and 2000-1990. The major support for now is 1.1970-80. Pivot resistance is 1.2265, 2387 and 2455. Pivot support is 2075, 2007 and 1885. It is sell on resistance failures at this time for this pair IMHO. GL GT

A major USA crash would indeed cool off the China econ in so far as their big export target (the USA) would be diminished in buying power. However China, if wise, already has diversified it's exports to a world wide consortium of clients. A bashed USA econ likely won't happen now as it would also have a rumbling effect on Europe, Taiwan, Japan and South America since they all ship to the USA. I therefore think ANYTHING and EVERYTHING would be done to prevent any USA crash, no holds barred.

The Fed has a loaded gun full of interest rate bullets and insufficient safety training. Accidents can happen. Sorry Charlie.

Something to consider on USDCAD. Draw a hor line at 1.3005 area. It was Res for a while then turned to Sup. Now do a Fibo of the latest move. The 61.8% comes in at the same general area. Trend lines and Fibo's are not my specialty. If they can be messed up I will find a way. However when you have a few of these things in the same area I will pay attention to them. For my money i will buy any strength in that area.

GEP,
Here is the Bill I told you I would send. You are recieving this because you did not offer encouragement on the EURAUD I mentioned around noon est. I said I was going to long the thing. And you provided zip, nada, zero, nill, null, squat for encourage. Its up 100 pips. You will recieve a bill for a 100 pips, due upon reciept.

LOL. sometimes I should throw caution to the wind and have faith in my system.

Just checked the charts. My Long USDCAD stop got smashed for 30 pips profit. Swissy, well what can I say. That son of a gun just doesn't want to drop. Which of course is good for my long. Don't anticipate any new positions tonight due to lack of interest and desire to watch charts.
