Our systems is what we follow and in terms of the US majors and FTSE we are long.
However stats-wise the first few days of March do give us an upward tendency.
I don't trade views - however I must say it seems more and more like the US majors along with oil will get to 2010 highs and the currencies around the world will 'bounce' against the dollar.
Many cannot recognise a few simple things as they get clouded with all the c**p out there. The biggest economy in the world regardless of ANY emerging markets is the USA and you have to pay them respect. If you pay this statement any recognition then you must pay respect entirely to the dollar regardless of its worth. Why do I say regardless of its worth? Well Gold has not climbed purely on gold demand, it is advanced due to many of the smart money using as a safe currency as gold is not only a metal but too many it is seen as a currency. Now bringing me back to the original point: if you give entire recognition to the dollar being number 1 in every respect (regardless of its worth) then you would have been smart to realise how every single market in the world is synchronised against it - if you can understand market logistics it can make trading a doddle!
I trade technicals - why? Because we trade the future and technicals give you precise entries as per your systems, analysis etc.
However:
I have a FIRM understanding of fundementals. So why don't I trade them? As the entries you will get based purely on fundementals can be crippling unless you've got the wealth to match of Warren Buffet and co!
When I trade technicals and when I can feel the fundementals being in unisom - what an ecstatic feeling I get!
With the sell off in all currencies against the dollar: a bounce seems imminent - Why?
Will with the Fed raising the discount rate it will now seem like to many that the scope for a further raise is not instantly in the short which should create the dollar the get cheaper - bounce for all other currencies along with oil and a rally to 2010 highs for the US majors.
Further out then this I do not know and even with the above you can take it as ramblings as I don't trade views I trade price. If you like views then I can't find any better then the likes of Jim Rogers or George Soros and co.
