Interesting chart patterns from some of the yen crosses. CADJPY and NZDJPY are both producing recent, descending trend channels that counter the more broad-based trend.

We are at the top of the channels now. A break would come to resistance fast, but a retracement into the pattern would have room to run. Of course, we need risk appetite to falter for that to happen and stocks have been holding up.

John, you point out some excellent flag formations there. Awesome! Lets see if we get some movement after the Beige Book today.

dsteve, The Beige Book, more formally called the Summary of Commentary on Current Economic Conditions, is a report published by the Federal Reserve Board eight times a year. Each is a gathering of "anecdotal information on current economic conditions" by each Federal Reserve Bank in its district from "Bank and Branch directors and interviews with key business contacts, economists, market experts, and other."

It's a time when they can give some observations about where they see the economy on many different fronts.

If I can find the text of it, I may post it on one of the forum threads too.

dsteve, it does if they reveal something that wasn't previously known.

Sometimes it will just reveal what we've already known and at other times it can give some insights into some notable improvements, etc.

It's out in about 11 minutes at 2pm EST.

tbordiuk, that's called a "bad tick" on the chart. It means that the boston technologies feed has a bad price tick way up there way above the market that causes the unusually high spike on the chart. No prices didn't really spike or trade that high in a day.

Hope that helps.

dsteve26, It's a bull flag pattern. The measuring tool is the length of the flag pole projected up from the breakout at the top of the flag. That would be about 900 pips on NZD/JPY. Now since this is a daily chart, we'd be looking at weeks or months for that target to get met and not just days.

Sean, do you mind taking a quick look at what i wrote a while ago on the System Review / FSS forum?. Bizarre "system" to implement, a sort of anti-scalping measure. Probably been done by millions of people over the years, but is over 60 pips in profit for the day although i have been quite lucky exiting at nice points without a real pre-determined exit plan.

Hi Sean

Quick question, would a bad tick take out a stop loss and if so what can you do?

Thanks
Mike
