    I have recently finished reading Brett Steenbarger's excellent book "Daily Trading Coach" He mentioned that social interaction with like minded traders plays a vital role in a individuals learning curve. With that in mind I have decided to create this thread so dedicated traders could discuss intermarket analysis. Every one is welcome and the main objective is to create a place where intelligent discussion can help facilitate learning for all.

    Fundamental Review

    Theme: Risk Acceptance

    Currencies: The dollar and yen dropped against all of the other major currencies.

    Dollar: Risk Accpetance

    Yen: Risk Accpetance

    Cross Currencies: Risk Accpetance



    Equities: “It all adds up to very dovish comments from policy makers indicating that there’s really no threat of government programs abating any time soon. It’s a very favorable environment to take risk and that could push stocks even higher.”

    S&P: Risk Accpetance

    DJIA: Risk Accpetance

    Eurostoxx50: Risk Accpetance

    Dax: Risk Accpetance

    Interest Rates: Treasuries were little changed after the U.S. sold a record-tying $44 billion of two-year debt at the lowest yield ever

    5yr: Trend of risk accpetance early in session. Change in sentiment as day progressed. Alignment of equites, rates and commodities.

    2yr: Trend of risk accpetance early in session. Indecision as day progressed.

    Commodities: Crude oil rose as a weaker dollar heightened the appeal of commodities to investors. Oil climbed as much as 3.2 percent and gold reached a record as the greenback dropped on speculation the Federal Reserve will keep its stimulus measures in place and ensure interest rates remain at virtually zero.

    Crude: Trend of risk accpetance early in session. Change in sentiment as day progressed. Alignment of equites, rates and commodities.


    Gold: Trend of risk accpetance early in session. Change in sentiment as day progressed. Alignment of equites, rates and commodities.

    Silver: Trend of risk accpetance early in session. Change in sentiment as day progressed. Alignment of equites, rates and commodities.

    Tactical Review

    My line of thought is that markets are in a defined range. No real change is sentiment has taken place today. This opens up some nice trade ideas for the week. I will be looking to sell risk assets at the top of the range upon price action confirmation. I still have not received such confirmation. My initial targets are to fill the gap in equity markets such as eurostoxx50 and S&P futures pit session.
