Hey I didn't notice a tone Yes, a line chart is a very good idea. TY Should be a wild two days with the FED meeting starting tomorrow.
Water under the bridge... np... i forget what price i shorted at, i'd have to check my statements... i got squeezed when the Bund rallied a bit and then settled... I didn't want a gain to turn into a loss... As for this time, I know i'm on a losing streak, so i'm trading small...
A nice graphical view of what the markets are pricing after this fed meeting and how recent data has affected it http://macroblog.typepad.com/.shared/image.html?/photos/uncategorized/may_16.gif
It's the implied probability of what to expect for the May meeting and how recent data releases have altered this view. So the odds of rates being 5% have dropped slightly in favour of 4.75 after the existing home sales data, although barely. Have a look at this link to see how the market was pricing for March, May and June comparitively on March 20th http://macroblog.typepad.com/macroblog/2006/03/second_thoughts.html and then as of yesterday here http://macroblog.typepad.com/macroblog/2006/03/last_week_tim_d.html
I'm on the sideline and waiting to see if we'll get the kind of reassuring comments from the Fed to create a short rally.
Great Charts! How do you use them? I prefer layman's stuff like RSI and MACD and my Apple indicator. I am a meat and potato kinda guy. Me likee Bonds down here as well, will look at 'em after meeting.
