many thanks Gecko, may it well be the case

Makassar Alimin 13:16.. Eur/Gbp weeklies below .6780 on this leg could resolve its L/T triangle & finally lead Euro & cousins down south to their M/T promisland..

Makassar Alimin 13:16 GMT July 31, 2006
watching eurgbp closely, contraction has been that it is a point of breaking sooner than later

US Dollar Index: Implied positioning is very close to neutral after reaching extreme levels a little less than 3 months ago (and successfully indicating a turn towards dollar strength). The trend of implied positioning has been one of dollar buying since the lows back in early May. Until that trend is broken, be wary of being short dollars. fxcm


van Gecko 07:50 GMT July 31, 2006
Mla Evan 01:36.. the dollar had stablized above USDX 84.50 for 3 consecutive months with higher highs & lows.. the recent dip from 86.86 may have generated sufficient liquidity for another go at the 87+ levels again.. so buying the dollar anywhere from here to infront of 84.50 against your favorite pairs with adjusted risk to suit your trading profile may work for the near to medium term..

Euro Gravestone daily Sell Fractal in the works after running into a roadblock put up by real money SOB'ers.. s/t SOB'ers who had already pocketed a figure of euro_topian pips overnight are looking for blips infront of 1.2718/28's for a second helping.. on the down side, dollar SOB'ers may have an equal opportunity to sell more dollar down at 1.2550/70's..
Cheerios..

Manila Tom.. hope you're fine.. its nice to have opposing views as it keep things in prespective.. that being said, for me with the USD Index 400 basis points above a recent multi-year low, the risk of selling the Dollar mid-term out weight the potential reward.. so to keep it simple, above USDX 84 buy & hold the Dollar for mid to long term with trade & risk mangement tactics to suit individual styles.. load up above 87 with weekly confirmation.. & go snooze or play with caution between 84-80.. hope it helps..

van Gecko, do you still see gbp heading for 1.80 after we have blasted through 1.86, euro back to 1.27 and usdjpy 115? just curious on the level where you might agree that usd is in sell mode?


Haifa ac 09:08 GMT July 27, 2006

van Gecko 08:21 GMT July 27, 2006
Kaunas dar 07:53.. you could be right.. but imo decending traingles could also be interpret as ascending diamonds rising from historic lows..
the dollar had held 100 yen for the last dozen years after rising from the 80 ashes..

Kaunas dar 07:53 GMT July 27, 2006
van Gecko 07:47 It looks like UsdJpy on monthlies is in descending triangle. Next big move will be in the direction of break...


van Gecko 07:47 GMT July 27, 2006
c9X'er, et al cheering for eurella should look to the Crosses & Gold for enlightment..
while on the subject of "Fx enlightments" yen bulls wishing to inflict serious damges to the dollar should try working tops down.. from the weeklies & monthlies.. 115 if seen again, should enlighten both s/t bulls & m/t bears for the sake of maintaining Fx harmony..


hong kong aussie 07:08 GMT July 27, 2006

Las Vegas Jon 05:07 GMT July 27, 2006
Crescendo crescendo goes the swing theme. What goes up/down does not always have to continue with same magnitude. Not saying it can't or won't but every time there is a nice little move traders get excited and expect more more more of the same- usually with disasterous results. So will trade where the market goes but volatility is increasing as expected- almost every week this Summer has progressed in similar fashion. With increased volatility now can get set to really crush it! GL GT

Guys- History does repeat itself. Every time the EUR/USD hit 1.2950+ The calls were loud and clear on this msg board that 1.35 maybe 1.50 was next then dreams and overleveraged accounts fizzled as "wave 4" kicked in for -500 pips. Next came the false break at 1.2850 on lucky 7/7 and for sure it was all clear for a 1.30+ move. Trap- back down 400 pips. Last Friday the chatter re-emerged as loud as usual- back down 200. Point is that recent price activity is not a function of future price activity but the human reaction en mass tends to be the antithesis of future price. Not suggesting future personal price bias just throwing logs in the fire- LOL GT

Prop Desk having fun picking off late comers. Hedge fund boys playing follow the leader. Expecting round of profit taking in cable, euro$, and swissy before real-money players begin adding to core positions. Mind your reward/ risk as range trading (false b/o scenario, etc) likely to persist. Playing both sides of market using resonable stops preferred strategy for time being. Buy on support/ Sell on resistance target opposite side. Don't get greedy, real money players will start buying dollars again in near future. Good trades

re. 05:02 GMT July 21, 2006 potential weekly reversal for Gold
a 100 dollar weekly reversal could have serious implications for the volatile gold market..

"08:40 GMT May 16, 2006
potential classic 'V' correction/reversal in the works for the yellow metal after failing to crack the old 1980 decending highs in one go.. wiping out the recent 200 dollar vertical rise in the same rapid fashion could gift wrap another 1.20 Euro, 550 gold "

"On the big picture the fact that the long term SHS formations stay in place for EUR/$ (and cable) is a fair enough reason to say that the USD long term bottoming pattern has not been violated....I personally feel that we still are in the process of the long term correction of the 2002-2005 megatrend...If you press me hard for my feeling, I would choose the USD upside as a medium/longer term direction..."


van Gecko 03:07 GMT July 19, 2006

Bris rc 00:26.. Cable is enjoying a temporary reprive via its crosses.. a sustained dive below 1.25 by cousin euro or adjustments in the crosses should see the eccentric old fella follow the merry go south path of least resistance.. gl

Las Vegas Jon 00:36.. so true.. trying to out-smart the market & constantly spitting out one liner pea shot observations may be good for fun & game playing only as there is a palpable difference between those who have cut their teeth in this cesspool and those that sings to impress other fools..

that gentlemen has a great sense on mid & long term directional timing for the Dollar..
back in the winter of '01 & spring of '02, when the euro was down at .87/86 vs the Dollar, he was relentlessly calling for a higher Dollar.. I remember asking him to change his handle to "PARity" should euro prints 1 vs the Dollar.. :))
may be he now wish to go down in GV history as "PAR3" should euro print 3 vs the Dollar with his help?

PAR 06:50 GMT July 12, 2006
Higher commodities are indicating lower dollar. Commodities now are like the Nasdaq in 2000 and lower dollar and lower interest rates are only fuelling the bubble which will explode in gigantic stagflation. We are back in a pre Volcker environment with the only difference that inflation is calculated differently as not to show reality. A kind of virtual low inflation.

JP Morgan saying EUR/USD slumps over $0.50 to 1.2775 with a large German and a US investment bank on the offer constantly, says a trader. The rate now trades at 1.2780, with downside trigger seen at 1.2765, which opens the risk to 1.27. Topside, strong resistance comes in at 1.2860.

As far as I am concerned,last Thrusday, after Fed hike,was a short-term inflexion point for me..And like a Pavlov's hound,I had to add more gold below 600 and more Eur/usd at 1.26 level..That is,till next inflexion point comes up..I gave up my futile attempt to guess what the market will do next a few decades ago..Good trades..

That's it- You owe me one! :-) Can pay me when you come visit. In exchange we'll shoot for a double crush from some Belluga Butter Roll opps on the 4th order of a 2nd octave during a triple forte crescendo!! Have great W/E

Haha I'll let you make fun of me. If it helps you overcome your problems to attack me who has done nothing to you then here I am. Better that you randomly attack a faceless contributor to a financial board than beating your husband I suppose. Have a great W/E Cheers!

revdax 01:00.. instead of sweating over your real life Euro shorts, this is how the caviar eating class rolling in FX profits with their 7th Order QNVSBP analysis.. (Quadratic Nonlinear Variable Sinus Belluga Polynomialinis).. life in Fxland is good.. :))

hmm.. 1.24 here we come..

cool..!! rode the sucker all the way up..

Well, gentleman, I am still looking forward to the days when I can 'trade to live' while enjoying a vacation in paradise with beautiful leggies all around me.

Sorry if came across the wrong way. Did not mean disrespect. Just that in the past you requested some responses but never heard back so was not sure if it offered any value or not- again no biggie. Also, I don't mean to say at all that one has to change their winning ways- would be counter-productive. Also, as for math, certainly some use it and some do not. Fully believe to each their own and respect that to full extent. Anyway, enjoy chatting with you revdax anytime as in the past. Have been hurried today with busy trades and packing etc for working vacation in paradise. Trading in tropical paradise IS paradise for trade-aholics.

Don't feel bad about being "poor at maths". I consider myself very good at it (after going through college and grad school), and yet some of the notions people describe still comes across as gibberish. (Because sometimes, that's what it is!)

One of the difficulties, I think, is that there is a difference between ANALYSIS and TRADING. It is one thing to think in terms of mathematical principles like "Random Walks", "Stochastic Processes", etc. But how does one translate those notions into actual trades?

Las Vegas Jon 17:21 //Tks for the lengthy reply. First of all, please allow me to point out that I acknowledge replies to my questions with something like TIA or TKS attached to my questions. This style may not be revolutionary but from my old-fashioned perspective suffices. Regarding the attitude towards learning new techniques, the difficulty I have found is sticking to something that works rather than continuing to seek new ways and testing new ways. Thus my focus now is on polishing up what has worked. This attitude differs widely from the one you described in which people refuse to work hard to improve. I am poor at maths. I can go through volumes of books on maths and may still not make any sense of it, letting alone of making a trading model out of it. But then again, 'to each other own' has been a motto I have been advancing. Hope this clears the cloud. Have a nice weekend.

Complex math with KISS output beats KISS input and useless outputs. click "Meat & Potatoes" and see another example of what I have shown so many times in the past. Tchau

"But fortunately market provided a very nice nonlinear variable cosinus amplitudinis rolls..."

Please, please, PLEASE...for the love of all that is good and decent! If you really mean what you just said, then please explain the mathematics behind your statement, or cite a reference. Are you really talking about an elliptic cosine? And why add the "nonlinear variable" bit? How, exactly, does this relate to the current market action?
Many apologies in advance for complaining, but the statement comes across as pure gibberish...

Good evening forum. Lately i am a silent reader of FF, unfortunately. But fortunately market provided a very nice nonlinear variable cosinus amplitudinis rolls. Some of them more comfortable, some more agressive-style, but all of them is a representation of variable finite count of infinite market/time.
If one able to comfort-drive smooth waves, do full SARS on 270 degree corners using carbon brakes and full accelerate his doubled VR6 engine -> enjoys a true "beluga"-style rolls and finest drink he prefers.
p.s. Jon, wish you a pleasant paradise-like holiday. Keep in touch with us ;)
