Yup. If the trend continues we will need to track the 5m chart to trade the news next year.

Saw this chart and found it interesting. Thought I'd share:

Good lessons in there. (I've noticed many good lessons are often preceded by the "long post alert"). Overleverage is in my opinion the mother of many bad habits and is the one main reason for trying to pick a perfect level to the tick. Ones mind, ...

I took profit on my short positions at 1.04 after 1.036x. Will wait to see if that was a mistake or not. I'm comfortable with it either way. I see lower targets. But as of yet I don't see a clear path to them. I'll trade when I do.

Well on EU it looks like price dipped it's toe in the 1.04 handle. I imagine we will see a test of the low and find out if there's buying interest down there or not. My guess is if so it would turn out be a similar bump to the one up to 1.08 rather ...

Call options. Bad idea. I know it ain't clockwork but vix up 4ish and uvxy down 4ish? Lesson learned. Time to learn spreads or stop messing with options. I thought i was smarter than everyone else I guess.

Exactly. Obstructionist don't obstruct once there's a different name on the letterhead.

Exactly. O,O,?

Knee jerk has us yields up 10yr even, gold down, stocks starting to feel it. 10 min til conference. O,O,?

I guess I dont understand. Seems to me the only direct play would be flop (Direct shot up) or massive overshoot (direct shot down) I guess I see zigzags everywhere.

The Really Useless Thread

Jesus. Now i want to put my flip at 520 and change my whole map.

The Really Useless Thread

Many late bears would be done or in pain over ~670. Slightly earlier but still late bears (like me) hurt over 800. Bulls down at 520

The Really Useless Thread

610/24 flip, 710 R is my idea of it anyway. Thats how Im trading it. could also see 710/30 flip 850 R Anybody disagree or have questions? I don't disagree, only perhaps how 'soft' 046 is.

The Really Useless Thread

Thats for sure. I wonder too if that correlation will be broken here and now. Anti trade, increased govt spending, debt and deficit looks like a donkey wearing an elephant costume in many ways where the economy is concerned. Tax cuts might bring it ...

As far as what to track beyond currency flows, I guess I would have this list: Bond yields. (Driver of the expectations car) 2YT and 10YT, Bunds Gold. (backseat driver with plenty of opinions but no control over the route) Oil. (hitchhiker in ...

Thanks. Good advice. And I certainly will try to clear my desk for the event and after. My business doesn't always let me call the shots on my schedule. But sometimes I get lucky. "The restaurant business is like dancing with a bear. No matter how ...

What source/site do you guys use for real time results on big news when mobile? I've tried using the FF calendar page but it usually freezes for a while with bigger news events when I'm checking it mobile.

The Really Useless Thread

Here's what the one I posted over the weekend looks like now. I feel it will take something tantamount to JY slapping on a superhawk cape and flying around the press room to crack 1.046x. I'm not expecting it anytime soon. But I hope I'm wrong on ...
