Looks like Financials failed at the monthly A up. Bonds confirmed an A up. VIX getting bid up. Gold and Crude below the A downs.

Maverick, as a successful practitioner of ACD approach, will you also take into consideration the news about S&P putting AAA European sovereign on credit negative watchlist while making your trading decisions now, or will you just go by that Euro made a A down at 1.3386. Thank you very much.
Quote from Maverick74:
The Euro has not confirmed yet but I do like at news and price to determine price action behavior. Had the market blown off this news it would have given you a lot of confidence to lean on your longs, but the market is obviously re-pricing risk assets now on this development.

Alright Sir, Thank you very much. Thats what I would do too. Glad to know that you as a senior trader also follow the same approach. This new is obviously super-negative for Euro and all other risk assets by correlation. I don't have data for Bund, but I guess long Treasuries-Short Bund could be a nice low-risk spread trade in the fixed income space after this development.

Bozwood, let me try to clarify a little more here. I have custom ACD charts and indicators. I did not build them. They are not mine. Because I am a principled person, I don't believe in taking credit in other people's work nor do I give out stuff that they built. You can hire some pretty cheap to build them or do it on your own. Just understand that since these are not mine, I cannot freely distribute something that is not my own. This is precisely why I went to Fisher and offered to pay him to distribute his work with his name on it. It was done on the same principal. It's just a code of ethics I live by. So please don't take it the wrong way.

Let me be clear though that I do not trade on this news. I simply observe it. As of now, all we have are failed A trades all over the place. No reason to react to this yet.
