    Oh and our lovely prime minister has decided to cut short his holiday to come back and make a new law
    'the riot police WILL NOT ADOPT ZERO TOLERANCE.......We shall simply stand by and watch the rioters loot and then nicely ask them to move on.......'
    Londons markets got splattered today and so did you the uncle sam end........Seriously , im watchin parts of my beautiful country burn........ I hope none of you got burned on the marlets today......
    meanwhile soon as the dow jones decides to end its falling knife there is a trading opportunity on the USD/CAD currently above R2 and in desperate need of a drop /correction move down...It aint gonna happen while dow and SP are in the sand ............but once it starts to pop she will fall

    Patience is virtue. The sooner we learn this all, sooner we can start walking to the bank. Good Luck to all of us—
    The trick is to wait the price meet ur limits, instead of one jumping in.. however scalps is a totally different scenario and is not everyone's cup of tea
    Disclaimer: I'm not at all suggesting trades when by either posting the graphs, or my entries. You can view it, but in the end you have to use your own logic and approach, as there is no certainty about this uncertain market...

    sorry lousy communications on that sentence

    I am in short but I have shrubbery set up aka hedge

    I believe it could still hit .9660 but wanted in in case it was a little short of what I expected. I will be holding this one for a while, a while, as the waves shape up I will let you know where to, could be 9600 could be lower need some waves so the shape can confirm what's up for the downside


    actually got tired of watching it so got the trimmer out and disposed of the hedge, must have snack. in small will build as it moves. Assuming it does as I anticipate

    A/u 4hr rejection was sweet to ya. In your opinion, is the drop from the top a w1 or wC of expanded flat?

    Introduction

    Hello Everyone,
    I have been a member of this forum for sometime but never contributed to any topic until now.I have tremendously benefited from the views of members . They are very informative and I usually find them useful especially when my thinking and analysis are at crossroads like what happened today.Sometimes I feel sad for not contributing my little knowledge to the community lest somebody may benefit from it as I am a beneficiary to other members work.
    Following the S&P downgrade of US to AA+ with negative outlook,I expected the $ to be bashed today. I had expected some selling pressure on $ denominated assets.Least on my analysis is the flight to safety as was witnessed today. Going by what happened at the end of last week when ECB promised to support Italy and Spain by purchasing their government bonds,I was planning a Long EUR/USD trade once we open for business today.The rest is history.
    With the way things happened today(Dow's drop of 634points today and a 205pips drop of Eur/USD pair)I will appreciate if most of you that are more experienced than me comment on the short term outlook for this pair.Do you think Asia will close the gap? or remain flat. What do you think of Europe? If ECB will continue bond purchases, how are they going to fund them without creating additional problems, including inflationary pressures that may lead to actions that will further reduce euro zone sub 1 growth and negative outlook for the euro.I was hoping for a bounce in the short run to cover at least 1/3 of today's drop before the resumption of the downtrend.Are any of you in this opinion with me? I tried a long trade earlier today using this strategy but was stopped out. My technicals are all pointing south for this pair but I am quite skeptical on which direction the pair will travel first considering the speed of the drop today.

    This a/u drop is historical!!! It has a 2008 feel to it.

    (A/U)200 FE is my limit for wCs(especially the last leg of an expanded flat), which happens to be a tad lower than 23.6 of the entire rally from 2008. I'd be force to call the drop w1 or possibly wA of XX if March low is taken out. Another payday is right around the corner, just have to wait for a w2/B retrace?

    Perhaps hysterical is a better word. lol
    Ayo, I was just checking the same thing on A/U. It begins to feel like it all across the board. And yen is back where it was before intervention.
    Anyway, I booked some pips, time to go to sleep...

    In order to make a profit, learn first how to take the loss.

    Hysterical is a better word. Get some good sleep. Long g/u from 6294(stop b/e), though I think e/u might be the better pair against 1.4053 bottom.

    Update, took the 40 pips.
