You stopped out on this call September 01 when the market closed at 3527. For someone who makes grand macro pronouncements to the world for market tops - you are damned skiddish with your stops :D

Moderate (that is, manageable) inflation allows Companies and Businesses to incrementally raise the prices for their goods and services. Simple as that. In a zero or very low inflation environment, Companies and Businesses that raise prices risk losing market share to competitors. This is...

Really serious oil traders subscribe to Platt's. You're going to need better information. https://www.spglobal.com/platts/en/products-services/oil

https://oilprice.com/Energy/Crude-Oil/OPEC-Considers-Keeping-Oil-Cuts-Unchanged-Through-April.html "The market has been expecting some sort of production increase from the OPEC+ alliance in April, especially in light of the recent oil price rally. According to Reuters’ sources, however, some...

For the past 15 years or so trading news in the Energy and Interest Rate spaces has been risky - I'm talking about my own personal experience. It's no secret that big Commercials will wait for a number to bring in liquidity - and that enables them to unload or create a position.

Now there's an extrapolation. :D I wish everyone good fortune ! If you can make consistent profits over a protracted period of time scalping and competing directly with the Bots and Algos and ATS's and the order flow buyers, then by all means keep doing what you're doing. Personally, I'm all...

The British Pound has been in a nice gradual technical downtrend since 2008. Maybe that will change.

It’s not a matter of being a “believer”, it’s a matter of risk versus reward. I would make the case that if you are manually trading - you’re better off taking 3 highly selective trades per day instead of 50 “scalps” per day. If you want to take 50 trades per day: that’s what automated...

The Dollar fully floats in the international FX markets, and TBH unless the United States is about to pay off all of its Sovereign Debt (No) or the US is going to default on Debt Coupon Payments (No) other than flooding the market further with some insanely preposterous amount of printed Dollars...

You don't have to time a market in order to be a successful trader. If sellers are taking the bid liquidity you step in front of them and sell. If buyers are taking the offer liquidity you step in front of them and buy. You don't need to make these sweeping macro market calls - that's Jack...

You've been posting since 2009 that the market is overbought and due for a selloff. But you don't spend any time reflecting on the source of your message. The world is wrong and you are right. It is just such a counterproductive frame of mind for trading successfully. Real professional...

Oh yeah, all caps - that will make your point. o_O Fighting markets is for retail chumps. You trade the market in front of you.

So you're going to trade the US equity markets from Europe using a discount broker and you want to scalp? Probably the first thing you should do is make a list of advantages versus disadvantages to that scenario. Hint: the disadvantages are not minor.

My trading career started out scalping in the CBOT Bond Pit. There you had about a one-half second time advantage and you could make a go at it. In the very late nineties into the early 2000's in Chicago there were about 15 to 20 proprietary futures trading firms where scalping on the screen...

The World has been buying US assets and equities. Denominated in Dollars. Look at the positions that Sovereign Wealth Funds alone have taken in US high tech stocks. Trillions.

If you’re manually scalping a modern electronic market with a mouse in your hand staring at an order book - Godspeed.

I mentioned it only in the context if the US decided to unilaterally devalue the Dollar "pegging" becomes an issue.

Much ado about absolutely nothing.

Talk about a self-destructive negative feedback loop right there. Getting insanely anxious and neurotic about something he has zero control over.

The problem with all of this is that many other countries peg their native currencies to the US Dollar - including China.
