what is that watson ?
US economy going the way of a morning turd
on economy’s impottant indicators: GDP, job turfings and type of new job creation and … price inflation
the rate may be coming down somewhat BUT inflation is cumulative so the APPARENT cost of goods and services keeps going up.
Using what I call AT (Amazing Trader) logic, key levels are the last key low that preceded a new high or the last key high that preceded a new low.
What I mean by preceding low or high is AT line.
If you look at this daily EURUSD chart, there were no red AT lines from 1.0949 => 1.1201.
This makes 1.0949 the preceding line and the key one on this chart.
The same logic can be used for shorter time frame trends, which I call AT ladders.
But in any case, you can see why 1.0949 was more important than 1.1026 on a daily chart.
It is hard to write about tonight’s U.S. presidential TV debate without expressing a political view but I will give it a try.

Intraday Trading Techniques – Part 2
As explained in previous lesson, determining the daily / 4h chart direction will give you a more clear view on intraday actions.
Let me repeat once again :
It has been said many times: “The trend is your friend.”b The question is, how does one find the trend? It often comes down to using various indicators to help determine which way a market has been moving, and thus where it might go next. One of the most popular to use to help determine this information is the moving average.
When the price of the market stays below the moving average, then the pair is said to be in a downtrend.
When it is above the moving average, it is said to be in an uptrend. Both are movements that can potentially be capitalized on, but the trader needs to be aware of how the different trends should impact their trades.
The best recommendation from most experienced traders is that a trade should be placed in line with the prevailing trend.
There is no heroism in placing a trade that goes hard against the trend. This is actually a recipe for disaster in most scenarios, and it is a good way to lose money.
Don’t Get Faked Out
Try not to get too caught up in whether the price is just above or just below the moving average. Sometimes, using the moving averages alone is too simplistic.
There is one way to have a high probability of any given trade :
Always wait for the confirmation – in the case of Moving Averages it is most of the time two consecutive closings of bars ( above or below the MA’s)
Most of the traders will tell you to use additional Indicators in confirming the move, but I am always for a Simple solutions :
If you start combining too many different indicators, you are going to end up frustrated and missing trades
You will start to hang on your opinion , trying to find an indicator that supports it – The Disaster
You better arrange your Stop Loss in line with Profit Target and Risk/Reward Ratio and never commit too much of your current margin to just one trade.
That way, you have an upper hand and as long as your Probability in any given trade is above 50% , you can’t miss it.
A look at the day ahead in U.S. and global markets from Mike Dolan
Markets have recovered their poise this week on a potent mix of U.S. ‘soft landing’ hopes and interest rate cut speculation and now turn their attention back to U.S. politics ahead of Tuesday’s big TV debate.
EURUSD DAILY CHART
No change from what was posted in our Weekly FX Chart Outlook other than while within 1.10-1.11, 1.1050 will set its trading bias.
From the Weekly FX Chart Outlook
‘
Last week I said the EURUSD range was 1.10-1.12 with 1.11 setting the trading bias.
Well, that didn’t change after a whipsaw end to the week following the US jobs report
Looking at this daily chart, it would take a break of 1.0949 to fully negate the upside risk.
Highlight: ECB decision on Thursday
US500 DAILY CHART – Retracement
As markets seem on hold waiting for tonight’s US presidential debate, equities remain a focus as a measure of the risk on/risk off mood.
Looking at this chart, despite the impressive rebound yesterday, moves to the upside are to be treated as a retracement unless 5522 is taken out.
