What Is a Discounting Mechanism? A discounting mechanism operates on the premise that the stock market essentially discounts, or takes into consideration, all available information including present and potential future events. When unexpected developments occur, the market discounts this new information very rapidly.
flip flop yik yak
claimed inflation rate slide speed and hot labor = conundrum
that is a good thing for my book – I expect – when the FED is flummoxed
should mean FED stays pat with its policies as it awaits de-flummoxisation (I just made up that technical term)

US CPI next week (feb 13)
And now to conclude todays lesson in real time – about 10 min prior to UK Exit, the mess starts…it is ALWAYS The No Mans Land….Risking it might prove deadly…for your margin…Don’t be disappointed if the position that you held prior to it would make some extra pips…even lots of it…it usually happens the opposite way – Murphy’s Law ! You can sit back , enjoying your freshly made pips and observe what happens .
Yet another observation ( worth apx 30 years 😀 – on UK closing – in about 50 min, things gets messy…so if we close this 30 min above 1.07440, attack at 1.07500 area will happen…and cause of added impact of UK close ( closing the positions, adding to them ) we can easily hit 1.07600..
I am writing this way to help those with less experience understand how it works…
1.07300 held nicely this half hour, and it reached up to 1.07438…is it going to go any further, I have no idea…double top is now formed on 30 min chart , so there is a barrier now….
I was caught numerous times in the trap of crosses…just to see at the end that if I stayed with the original strategy , it would play out well. Because of it, I concentrate on the majors , and if I smell some development coming from crosses, I just sit back…and wait…This spider web of currencies is way to complex to be able to handle it parallelly. I know that some funds are playing it with their AI systems, but no one made a real success with it , so far. For us, individual traders, surviving on 60-40 odds or even less is not something we can afford…Ah, I went way aside in my thoughts 😀
EURUSD
Intraday – if the pair stays bellow 1.07300 next 20 min , we will see the test of 1.07200, and if taken out , the continuation of the down slide. Chart
On contrary, close of this 30 min bar above it will give us a chance to target 1.07500 area.
