    for Monday July 29/13 ~ 12:38pm pst

    I expect this week to be the 'change' week, currencies and indices, a 'watch it !' week
    because of bouncing reactions to reports, but also a potentially very profitable period

    Currencies: $'s turned up for a while, a few days, perhaps the whole week

    eur Sell 1 L 1.32787 C 1.32697 $90.00
    gbd Sell 1 L 1.53906 C 1.53738 $168.00
    eur Sell 1 L 1.32810 C 1.32546 $264.00

    gbd Sell 1 L 1.53888 C 1.53619 $269.00
    gbd Buy 1 L 1.53677 C 1.53882 $205.00

    eur: Sell: believe the price has started down
    gbp: Sell: similar to above

    chf: Buy
    jpy: Buy

    es: Sell believe the top's in, reversal formation complete, so the price should drop
    soon after it opens

    Sell 10 1683.25 C 1675.50 $3,839.80
    Buy 10 1677.50 C 1683.75 $3,089.80

  2. for Tuesday July 30/13 ~ 3:38pm pst

    Currencies: the $ hasn't yet moved as strongly as I'd expected, might drop a bit and
    then resume it's rally. the FOMC meeting's today, the announcement tomorrow so
    there's time for the price to rise and I'm presuming the price will pop 82 . there is tho
    the possibility of the price dropping to the 61 , about 81.40 , and possibly lower

    eur: Sell 1 L 1.32883 C 1.32425 $458.00
    eur: Sell 1 L 1.32638 C 1.32601 $37.00
    gbd: Sell 1 L 1.53943 C 1.53395 $548.00
    gbd: Sell 1 L 1.53552 C 1.53414 $138.00

    ..................
    aud: Sell
    nzd: Sell
    cad: Buy waiting on . . .
    chf: Buy
    jpy: Buy / Sell 2 ml 99.528 hasn't turned into a Buy, looks like it's basing on the 38 –
    will it hold ?
    ..................
    es: the price may go back up to the 1687 area, or only the 1685 and there'll possibly
    be a narrow sideways range until Wednesday's announcement, the but is that a slow
    extended correction is continuing and the next stage is down
    Buy / Sell - with caution

    Jul 29: Sell 100 1687.00 C 1683.00 $19,648.00
    Jul 29: Sell 100 1688.50 C 1677.00 $57,148.00

  3. ADP 8:15am est down; advance GDP and PI 8:30am est both below consensus imo
    as you know the FOMC Minutes are a written statement only, but because of the
    reclassifications made to the calculation of the gdp, there might be something
    related to that which in turn might produce some difference compared to prior
    statements that scrutinizers will seize on, alternate is nothing different

    flux days until after the NFP on Friday

    for Wednesday July 31/13 ~ 4:07pm pst

    eur: Sell 1 L 1.32657 C 1.32536 $121.00

    jpy: Sell 2 ml 99.528 C 97.889 $334.87

    Currencies: the $ finally made a move and may do so again after some correction
    surprised the eur stayed up while the gbp dropped

    eur: Sell ??? hanging on the 76 again, not sure when it'll break but presuming down
    gbp: Buy ? may be reversing, the price may drop to the 1.5226 area again and I'll Buy
    or I've missed the entry but may still Buy - unless it's a Sell ;
    ..................
    aud: Buy short term 0.9130-40 ?

    cad: Buy
    chf: Buy
    jpy: Sell ?
    ..................
    es: best I'm going to say is more sideways until the third 4H, maybe 2nd or 3rd hour
    when the price may begin to drop, but I am expecting a down day

    es: Buy / Sell - with caution

    Sell 200 1687.00 C 1678.00 $89,296.00

  8. for some sicko psycho sado maso reason I deleted my original Monday analysis
    actually, I made a copy, then wrote the one I posted. here's the original:
    ' I'm expecting the $ to continue down
    the euro, based on various lines etc has a Lot of upside potential technically and we
    also know the qe will continue, so we've a Buy till the FOMC meeting of Sep 17-18
    corrections along the way. there's 2 gls near fibo levels 1.35 1.362 - 1.366 areas with
    an sdc ml between them, price targets at the 61 of 1.3832 , and higher
    the alternate is the price drops from here, for 2 ? weeks. '
    I think I must have been pizzed off I'd be working Monday while everyone else was on
    holiday. was I punishing you the reader ? absolutely not, my apologies anyway
    rest assured, I'm in my happy place again, there will not be a repeat of the Monday
    sicko psycho sado maso post again, next time I'll take the holiday

    eur: Sell/Buy ? think we're going to have a down day, or part of one
    the eurusd July 31 HH 1.33439 and Aug 7 HH 1.33445 suggests a correction rather
    than top (although it could be a top) as yesterday's HC was well above the 31's and
    the close 1.33358 not far below the 61 at 1.33451
    why didn't the price punch thru the 61 ? the ECB Monthly Bulletin is at 4am est is that
    the reason the rally stopped ? down to 1.3319-14 ? 1.33 ?
