French and German bank holiday's I expect the Claims to be up I should have stuck with the script: For Friday May 3/13: ' . . . basing Monday or Tuesday and then beginning a rally, yes, UP ' For Thursday May 9/13 upside: think the price is just going to continue up downside: don't think there's going to be any except for the Claims - unless it comes in lite 3:03pm pst
well the usdjpy's finally gone thru the 100 and should keep going for a while thank goodness it's the end of the week; hopefully next week I'll re-synchronize my analysis with my method again For Friday May 10/13 upside: don't see any downside: down; target, chasm line, or at least 1.2963 2:43pm pst - - cl Sell ~ 95.86
this week could see the euro rally For Monday May 13/13 the price could start down quickly to base, and checking XE I see it's already down at 1.2959 , so going down to 1.2934 isn't a stretch. the but is whether it does base or just keeps falling, maybe holding at the 1.2860 area, but again, continuing down upside targets are 1.3340 and 1.3411 which appear too far away to be realised 2:03pm pst gold Sell ~ 1477.73 - eur Sell ~ 1.3112 - jpy Buy ~ 99.166 - - cl Sell ~ 95.86
I expect the German, EU Zews and EU Ind Prod at 5am est to all be positive, but the preliminary GDPs on Wednesday may be another matter For Tuesday May 14/13 it's not surprising then we've had the hours of sideways price movement prior to the reports, the price may drift down to the 1.2934 area which would make for a good Buy level providing the reports Are positive. upside after the reports, well it ought to pop the 1.30 level, 1.3050 ? 2:48pm pst
arse backwards again yesterday. the German prelim gdp at 2:00am est is one that could go either way, the forecast is 0.3% , but I think I'll go with it being a minus amount. France's gdp is at 1:30 For Wednesday May 15/13 the chasm line may hold the price but I think it's likely to go down to 1.2875 , maybe the 1.2860 area upside, 1.2935 , 1.2960s area ? if the gdp number comes in positive, particularly if it beats the forecast then the price could rally higher into the 1.30s. then there's the possibility that later in the session positive US reports will result in a euro sell-off 2:32pm pst
I'm changing from session analysis of the euro only to Day-to-Days / Buy & Hold Buy, Sell, Close trades of the majors and some futures I'll be doing my analysis after the session closes, and for better or worse, new B S C trades won't be posted till after the close. what I may do if I'm any way sure is post a B S C trade to be executed 'as late as possible' - PSTime bedtime, or executed 'first thing in the morning' PSTime I don't expect to be adding any analysis, but I may do the gold trade is the xauusd and the crude a cfd, the next trades in those commodities will be futures contracts. fx pairs are $10,000 mini lots futures and fx profit / loss will be net after commissions/spreads Thursday May 16/13 ~ 3:15pm pst Claims smaller rather than larger - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -Profit - - - Loss - - - Total + - - - Total - may 15 - AUDUSD ~ ~ Sell ~ ~ 0.98611 ~ C ~ 0.00000 ~ ~ $0000 ~ ~ $0000 ~ ~ $00000 ~ ~ $00000 may 5 - - EURUSD ~ ~ Sell ~ ~ 1.31121 expecting more downside and possibly a new low may 15 - GBPUSD ~ ~ Sell ~ ~ 1.51971 may 15 - NZDUSD ~ ~ Sell ~ ~ 0.82098 may 15 - USDCAD ~ ~ Buy ~ ~ 1.01873 may 15 - USDCHF ~ ~ Buy ~ ~ 0.96464 may 5 - - -USDJPY ~ ~ Buy ~ ~ 99.166 may 9 - - - CRUDE ~ ~ Sell ~ ~ 95.86 may 55 - - - - - ES ~ ~ april 26 - - - GOLD ~ ~ Sell ~ ~ 1477.73 may 55 - - - - - NQ ~ ~ may 55 - - - - - YM ~ ~ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - $000000 - - $000000 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Total - - Profit - - - - Loss

Stops ??? the wait is for Wednesday, Lew's also speaking, the main matter is Wed 10am est Bernanke's testimony to Congress 'outlook for the U.S. economy' and 2pm est the FOMC minutes, 'when will the QE end ?' after those are done with I expect the $ to continue to rally
for Wednesday May 22/13 ~ 2:00pm pst basically no changes from yesterday only caution is there's no 'slips of the tongue' in Bernake's testimony and that the Minutes don't hold any surprises
