I thought I had a line on a big trade there with those candles.

It was definitely worth the risk though, and it was risk adjusted.

It's back a few pages if you are interested etc.

GBP/JPY though, I like your name, it makes me money (hopefully)

Short NZD USD @ .7017

Short AUD USD @ .8917

yep, we have the same wiew about euro and gbp/jpy...greenbicman

reply to post by GBP/JPY


excellent

although I am going long EUR USD @ 1.3652 if I can get it.

I believe we are actually in some sort of wave that was started February 5th.

Take a look at your hourly charts.

To me it looks like the 3rd touch and it needs to get back to 1.3830

I believe I might be able to snatch it at that price - also thinking about going into more GBP/JPY - looks like it most likely will fulfill this wave model


Also selling GBP USD @ 1.5755 if I can get it. Looks like good resistance.

For the first time ever it finally paid off on a newstrade for me on the NZD AUD pairs. You can always count on NZD to be totally worthless. haha

Exactly, you got it, those there that controls the worlds wealth through central banks, they get to actually own countries with debt.

Still I got the feeling that the so call NWO and its humble beginnings of wealth control is failing miserably, due to the fact that corruption and greed can not be controlled.

But that is another story and another time to talk about it.

Angela Merkel dashes Greek hopes of rescue bid

Angela Merkel, the German chancellor, mounted stiff resistance tonight to any swift bailout of Greece, as a rift opened up between European capitals over how best to tackle the risks posed to the euro.

Despite a show of Franco-German unity on the crisis and the first statement from EU leaders pledging to safeguard the currency's stability, hopes on the markets of a German-led rescue plan to shore up Greece's critical public finances were dashed by Merkel, who repeatedly emphasised that Athens would need to put its own house in order and brushed aside all questions of financial support.

"Germany is stepping totally on the brakes on financial assistance," said a senior EU diplomat. "On legal grounds, on constitutional grounds and on principle." Another senior diplomat said of the Germans: "They're not waving their chequebooks."

Germany should just say screw this, we're going back to the Deutchmark. That would kick ass.

EDIT: GOD I LOVE THIS GUY...


This one is very good too, he exposes the bailout/european union BS will fail.

I dont know if this whole picture is going to embed, but go to my media profile.

Is this what you are seeing as well?

Not only does the weekly chart support this, but also this picture that I just saved.

Looks like a straight up uptrend to me?

Let me know what you see in this as well, to share my opinion is obviously someone of great intelligence. On second thought..

* Just noticed it doesnt totally embed, just go to my media profile

Does anybody here make money chasing the market up and down five days a week? Consistently?

Be honest.

I tried day trading for 1 year. I did nothing but trade all year. I made something like 16% profit for the entire year. Not even close to livable money. Then I promptly lost nearly all of my money the next year. I did not think it was worth the effort or the time or the stress or the mood swings. That is why I switched up and found a different method.

Being a hitman is profitable work.

Or you could be an assassin and start buying gbp/jpy like our new friend.

It is all the rage in London right now.

Dear GBP/JPY,

Since you have unveiled you are bullish on this pair, it has been rocketing. You might be a timing genius. You obviously are pulling strings behind the scenes, I would happily take a bullet for you if you were to unveil your next blockbuster in the same manner.

16% profit is excellent depending on what you are risking.

Compound that for 20 years and start with $100,000 and you could be fed grapes from hot women while you bathe in Ibiza or something.

I got my bank statement yesterday. My money market rate used to be 2.00% and my checking account rate was 1.75%. On this latest statement they've dropped the interest rates to 1.50% on both my money market and checking accounts.

WHY? Why would banks be dropping their interest rates right now? I looked online at some of the ''find the highest rates'' websites and the banks have all dropped their rates recently.

OMG! Ahmadinejad did this! This is his powerful blow to capitalism!!!

But seriously, what's up with the rate drops?

My little local credit union has $18 billion in checking and saving accounts.

A half a percent drop saves them $90 million a year ($7.5 million a month) in interest not paid out.

I don't follow banking news, but I am guessing a lot of banks are needing to save money all of a sudden? Especially the ones that are paying the highest rates. The huge national banks are paying 0.10% or 0.20% to their customers. Pathetic really. It is amazing I still get 1.50%.

WOW! Where did you get that from? Eerie, actually!

The DJIA will have a nice bounce on Tuesday though... down big today, nice bump on Tuesday, down by next Friday. Seems to be the pattern as of late..

IMHO, are we at a top? Yup. Is the big fall imminent? Not yet, but soon.
Give it a few weeks. Barring any catalyst, maybe right after the Olympics.

yep, greenbicman, feb 4-8 has been a huge turn the last 5 years i wayched....also gann method zeroed in on this date, and the major yearly divides. but feb 4 was huge....one can see it the past years, cool

As the nation's temporary economic stimulus fades, the U.S. economy is beginning to grow on its own steam, a top economic forecaster says.

...says Citi's D'Antonio

"We'll see a virtuous cycle of growth," in which rising incomes create more spending, which in turn creates more income, said Peter D'Antonio, an economist for Citigroup Global Markets, an arm of Citigroup Inc. "We'll have better growth driven by demand."

www.marketwatch.com...

This is interesting:

D'Antonio is the winner of the January Forecaster of the Month award from MarketWatch, in recognition of his prowess at estimating 10 key economic indicators released during the month. Compared with 43 other forecasters, D'Antonio had the most accurate forecasts on two of the indicators, and was among the top 10 most accurate on four others.

Although some people insist that there can be no recovery without job growth, actually it's just the opposite: There can be no job growth without recovery. "Income is the main fuel for consumer spending," D'Antonio said.

Really?
