Hi N and everyone else out there,
Attended my first Christmas party of the festive season last night and got cursed for ongoing financial crunch, banks implosion, pension funds collapse, lousy X Factor series, wet weather, price of fish (WTF?).... Nobody mentioned Engerland's easy '10 WC group allocation though - perhaps they couldnt think of a "link" to blame or credit me for that?
Also, spent the first night of the festive season in the spare room courtesy (read command!) of wifey aka de boss - oh yes, Christmas really has arrived now in a big way for me.
N, saw your observations above into next week and these looked very interesting based on your corrie indy. Personally as a price action "fan" I dont delve into the forecasting thingy and prefer to let the market dictate what it wants to do, but for my 2 cents worth I think the market will still be in shock over last Friday's (04-12-09) NFP data release and needs some while to "adjust" itself before marching on in its merry and very erratic way.
Whatever, we will see what Monday brings us in (for me) the penultimate full trading week prior to the festive season and its accompanying horribly low volume period.
Trade well and regards,
Simon.
here the market corrie on the same 4h but a 500/2 setting
The feeds are more limited in history for these markets (ODL feed) and ive had to reduce MA to get some results
500/2 is ok....its not as pure as 1000/1 for S/R's but ok for this purpose
hmmmm.....I used to spend hours trying to tease things out of these suckers but now I look for things that jump out and then forget it...if its not there its not there !
if you study this chart from the start (sept 09) you can see why people say markets rise and tag team falls (and vice versa)
October was classic correlation throughout....the markets rise, the markets fall and the tag responds inversely....November was scrappier although at the end it really kicked back in with those Market falls against the tag's rises....early Dec has been a problem due to Yens strength I feel and other intervention going on...(see how Octobers market rises pushed the Yen gradually back at the USD....however much less market action recently, but look how Yen collapsed into the Dollar....hmm😏)
So what do I see ?
Gold nearly back to Oct levels...bounce back ?....(although its volatility is explosive)
to me every other market seems to be slowly cycling downwards...which should encourage the Tag to rise (if they can get their act together this week !)
thats it...bring on monday morning !
N
