I see one major spike in all markets, a manifestation of fear..that is unrivaled.

usd/cad looks short term prety bullish, it looks like its about to pop above resistance on a nice big green candle. I will not try to pin any fundamentals on this because i really dont understand the influence that anything recent or upcoming would have on this pair except for maby interest rates (cad is the first of december i think usd is 11th of dec). I see core cad cpi is down... i think thats good for cad? Something that I do think is interesting is that recently at work am noticing that many advertisements have phrases like "and now you can save more than every with our stronger dollar" and "come on down to this place and buy a car and get AMERICAN PRICES!!". Its funny hearing this knowing that usd/cad is 8 cends off its lows.

On another note it seems that the complacency on ET is at yearly highs could spell some drama for equities.

working with a new stat software..for amusement..

http://www.itl.nist.gov/div898/software/dataplot/

its free... and can analyze ascii data..

historical CD data... since 1970..

 

[Xymox]

CD data since start of the century.

 

[Xymox]

CD data since start of the year..

 

[Xymox]

CD data since start of the month..

 

[Xymox]

notice this months data is a deviation.. from the other timeframes...displayed. So how much of a deviation would one look for before going with the timeframe probabilities. None of the systems I follow for CD are indicating a sell yet...

 

[Xymox]

merely a test of parity...

 

[Xymox]

so if I was going to place a trade, it would only be for long CAD/usd.. till my systems tell me its okay to play it from the short end.

when you say CD data i thought you meant data on a cd ... are you refering to a symbol of financial instrument?

I worked under and was trained by some big FX fish @ B of A.( banc of America) who taught me nothing more than how to survive, the rest was up to me.
Regards,

I was thinking about your post and was wondering how does one go about getting trained by big fish. Im sure that there are not many big fish out there willing to train people but plenty of people looking to be trained. Is it about having a great resumé and great grades in a business degree or rather knowing the right people. Do they consider people without economics degrees to be clueless gamblers? I have an uncle who works in high places at a bank (approves loans over 1 million) and im wondering if i should try to take advantage of that somehow.
