A spike filter of some sort could have been implemented some time ago. Especially one that would catch a 500 pip price error. It has not happened and one can only consider the possibilities, only one of which may be this is a way of "balancing the ...

What is this chart spike?

Are you saying that your search is for market pricing imbalances ? something like: the Dollar Yen is at 100 and the Euro Dollar spikes to 140 so, if the Euro Yen is at 140.10, it's out of line by about 10 pips ? These kind of imbalances only last < ...

The Nature of Forex

That's what I'm talking about. I don't know what Oanda is doing, but some of the other retail FX brokers are quoting negative swaps on carry trades today AND it's ofcourse X3 for Wednesday. I'm wondering how this "fundamental" will figure into the ...

5ysfx, I'm looking to lock-in profits on EJ so the trade wont cost anything. These negative swap rates just published tonite from some brokers are gonna drive people to do things they might not ordinarily do. I'll likely take some off between 15050 ...

This is the "CREDIT CRUNCH" everyone must be talking about. @ $25.00USD/DAY per standard lot on EURO (which is over 9K annualized x365 days) factoring in the current value of the Eur/Usd, that's better than a 6% negative swap rate on one of the ...

Swap Rates

You know what ? This one is the same way. They'll be jacking with this thing all day untill either 8500 prints or support comes in @ 8300. I want to buy some too, but I'm going to take it in small pieces incase the players attempt to create some ...

I think you're looking in the right direction As soon as 4960 pops decisively and cleans out those offers, I'm moving my stop up. Should be a smooth ride back over 150. Just remember, they're playing with it tonite. That 150 is real important to ...

Bids on EJ are moving up. Looks like solid buyers at the 149. This is a good sign. Eventually, sometime tonite, the market will want to establish a number that's strong enough to hold as a "bottom" for the range so it can get along with it's ...

I'm looking at a bank feed. The offer is now 14940 and more at 14960. Not too big though. Update: it ate the 4940 with good buying interest

5ysfx, That bounce off of 14900 was a .786 from Tuesday's low (14854)to tonite's high so far (15058), That's the good news. The other news (not bad just "other") is theres a block af EJ offered @ 14935 and another at 14970~80. Looks like it was ...

Big orders at 14870~14880. I want to see how well the 149 is defended and if the 14880's get filled. Shouldn't take much time if it happens from here. Generally, the market moves to where the orders are. Otherwise, the brokers can't make any $$

This is what I'm talking about. A little back and forth action on both sides of 150. 5ysfx, Are your lines showing support here ? I'm seeing level II offers above 150, but plenty of bids down here and more buying interest all the way from 148 back ...

I think you're on to something. Just remember, 150 the figure is a BIG number. It's a GREAT BIG NUMBER. Many trades and deals need to get done at this price. Worldwide. It will need to dance with 150 for a while to get orders filled and deals done. ...

It's really cool to start the month off like that, huh ? I'm taking off just a little here @ 15050. SL at BE. You go man, K-map power !!!

Extraordinary trading style by 5ysfx

Well, the reason I'm asking is I've been watching your thread for a while and you're having some great trades and I can't help but wonder if the K-map is in some remote way related to some highly advanced Gann methods and techniques. If so, it's not ...

5ysfx, I know you're busy today, trying to make money. But, I'd like your opinion on this. Below is a very rough version of a 1x2 gann square. The lines aren't very tight so the zones are not precise. Either way, have you ever worked with these type ...

You want leverage ? These boys will give you leverage. Just because the exchange minimum margin on a euro or a yen is like $3K overnite, there are tons of futures brokers that will allow you to trade on about half for intra-day. You're getting close ...
