Interesting take. But it doesn't quite add-up, for me. Currently ZN has retraced by nearly 60% from the peak @ 128'275 - a lot more than 50%. If it was going to retrace and then dive lower, I don't think it should have come this high. This is bullish to me. But who the heck knows, time...

Hi, Just thought I'd share this, since it jumped out at me from the page. It looks very bullish, all fundamentals aside...

Hi, Doing a quick roundup of the daily charts - the one that caught my eye was FTSE futures 6800 ... genuine resistance or just a temporary road block?

Weekly update

Taking stock of last weeks' market response to various news items. Nothing that deserved a video highlight, I'm afraid!

Fully agree it looks bullish. I mean... the market has been rallying for years now. But eventually it surely must experience a large correction to the downside - and when traders are looking back at the daily charts asking themselves "where they should have gone short" - That level may be...

Felt inclined to share this chart. When the level breaks, as one day it must, I think there may be fireworks on the downside... but who knows?

Taking stock of big news in recent weeks... ECB and FED seem to be geared up for action, and perhaps more aggressively from the ECB. On that basis I'd be inclined to bet long ES, and short 6E. But who knows, right?

Hi, I'd say this was as close to a "free money" trade as you are gonna get. Certainly scope to lose money, but the dovish tone suggested it was safer to buy than to sell... <iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/PciV0gCISBk" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/PciV0gCISBk" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> The most likely source of excitement looked set to be the evening release of FOMC Meeting Minutes. For those who don't know, every month the US Federal Reserve release a set of...

Enjoyed the Jessie Livermore a few posts back about "this being a bull market, you know". I can pick out long periods of time where buying at fib 50% retracement in a trending market would make you a millionaire. The "Turtles" famously made some big money on the breakout strategy until it...

In some respects it was a boring session. Everyone was waiting for NFP and when it finally arrived it was broadly in-line with expectations. * NFP: 192K as against 199K consensus * Unemployment rate: 6.7% as against 6.6% consensus. But having said that, several markets have spent the...

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/m8p2PIHpDw0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> The day many had been waiting for: ECB Statement. Draghi sits down and begins his report, having already decided to make no changes to lending and deposit rates. 2 minutes...

Wow, thanks for the encouraging words. No update this evening, primarily because I don't think there was any particularly good breaking news today: US ADP numbers are a nonsense and not worth mentioning, and UK Construction PMI didn't have much impact either. I'm sure tomorrow will be very...

Looking back over my video archives for March, I thought it might be interesting to reflect on the bigger opportunities to make quick profits on the back of breaking news. My top 3 picks for March: 1) 25 March 2014 ~ 16:15 London Time ~ ECB Draghi Speaks <iframe width="560" height="315"...

Today was significant for three reasons, in my eyes. Two pieces of big scheduled economic data releases, and thirdly, the fact this was the day of the month. Analysis has shown there is a tendency in the US equity markets to see a rally, as supposed inflows of fresh Fund money must be deployed...

By my estimations there was some free money to be had today. But you had to be quick, and you'd have to have deep enough pockets to really hit the market hard and make the most of the move... 14:52 UK time The Fed's Yellen spoke with a slightly more Dovish tone than the market has gotten used...

It was not an exciting day for the markets. * 09:30 UK time saw UK Retail Sales hitting 1.8% as against expectations of only 0.3%. No surprise to see GBP spiking to the upside – but too fast for any human to safely profit from, surely? <iframe width="560" height="315"...
