Sunday 25 July

I think I will take this week off.  It's summer and in Canada Summer doesn't last very long (at all).
Many markets at key resistance or close to it last week suggest we could pull back this week and I would be a buyer of dips in risk.  Breaks above and this meat grinder market will keep on going.
Good Luck!

  3. Hello Nic, Very nice blog. I notice that you post on Strat's thread on forex factory. Do you trade the style he preaches or have you revised it for your own means? Thanks Paul

  4. Hello
    I trade the style he teaches in that I take the daily and weekly setups that he teaches but I look for entries on 4hr or 1hr charts.
    I probably rely on fibonacci a bit more than he does but otherwise its the same.

  5. Nic, whats up with usdcad? Its the one piece that doesnt stack up for me this morning...

  6. USDCAD is bouncing on the trendline support from the April lows and 1.03 support. I think its held its value because oil has been strong but I see a big USD bounce here off the big 50fib level in the dollar index.

  7. I-Man look at the harmonic pattern on the SPX here: http://geometricharmony.blogspot.com/2010/07/tuesday-27th-july-2010.html

  8. Thanks... I knew there was something longer term to it. Short term action didnt add up.

  9. Nic i like your harmonic pattern blog.

    And Thanks for sending me the other module. It works :)

    I am now thinking about opening up an account with FXCM MT4. Their platform is so easy to use.

  10. AUD.USD is breaking down. It has now reached the 60min uptrend support @ 8907'ish. Once it breaks that line, it should be easy coasting down.

  12. Thank you so much Bruce.
    It might take more than a holiday, I may still need a trip to the salt mine to regain my youth :)

  13. nic do you know what the 10 Handle rule is? [topstep vid comment].

    [so why did he go to a salt mine? :)]

  14. NIC, what do you think of JPY.USD?

    ReplyDelete
  15. USDJPY - I am still in sell rally mode and I think we are going lower. The Japanese might make noises and cause it to bounce down here but I think we go to 84.80-85.00 next.

  16. I think the 10 handle rule is because the sppos used to trade in a 10 handle daily range so if it was already down 10 handles on the day you wouldn't sell it but I will double check.

  20. Nice picture Karen!! Summer trading sucks, hope you are doing OK, I'm much better :)

    Richard - I was very sceptical when I started watching your video (the "hidden" thing put me off) but whether you call it an Elliott wave ABC, a harmonic ABCD or a Wolfe wave, etc., the markets love symmetry and equal measured moves work.

  21. NFP upside surprise would mean a lot of dollar shorts would have to unwind in a hurry. Gold and crude look vulnerable in that scenario, not to mention the 2y UST.
