just looking at this trade LF, what was your rationale? from a TA stand point was upward trending over the last 20 days.. or was it a RN resistance play?

god you do you love your "internal trendlines".

I like the confluence with the RN though, nice trade, i expect it'll drip to 1.44
 
Am long Gold at 1680.14 and short S&P at 1247.47 at a ratio of 0.231:0.311.
The time frame on this trade is a number of weeks, possibly months.

The expectation is that the basis between Gold and Equities (recently widened up significantly) will close for both fundamental reasons (based around monetary easing and a possible re-emergence of "safe haven" status) and for technical reasons (see chart for trendline support and strong support at 1600).

The trade is currently showing a small loss, my position is relatively small, expecting a big move.

Happy to answer qus about this trade,

short GBPUSD 1.5611 , multi market resistance and upward trending DXY on pull back.

market feels much weaker today
 
ah forgot to say 1.5632. will try to hold out on this GBP strength - looks temporary, EURUSD is ticking down
 
What I am looking at this morning.
5m ES chart
Shoring a break of the lower line around 1243 area. If price breaks the upper line I won't go long, instead fade the break with entry around 1248-1250.

eurusd already has a 130 pip range today and I think it could still go much lower. Should be good to short as long as it stays below 1.3300
