Urgent Message From Rennick

Quote from riskfreetrading:

QQQQ just rallied from the 49.18 to 29.43 area. I do not have time to analyse them, but if I were you shortie, it is after such a little bounce that I would start to find a place to move in if you are still bearish. I would also do it by scaling in on way up, as we know that there is a ceiling on the upside in the next 24 hours/this week.

where is the ceiling?
 
my finest analysis as of today was moved to chit-chat. i will post it here unless Big Bill objects.

somebody please tell me if i am missing something with my crude analysis.


1. we gapped down hard overnight
2. this gap is too juicy not to fade so many traders went long at the open
3. the gap did not budged in the morning (in fact there was some selling) so many longs are trapped
4. if the market start moving lower, there will be a snowball effect of longs trying to bail out
5. as a result the market can drop several pcts (approaching the Nov low)
6. trading plan for the day: sell any rally attempt
 
Quote from riskfreetrading:

hey shortie: QQQQ are now at $49.18. I just sold to them my 28 puts at $0.26. Fill report should show up soon at $0.26 or higher. That is my first batch. I will leave a second batch in area of $0.45 in case they decide to visit me at that level.

I am also watching/trading EUR/USD. It wants to recover, and it has been mimicking the stock market lately.

So be careful

Covered the babies on the rally to 49.60 area!

Thanks Ivan. At first reading, I thought you were saying that it is negatively correlated, but after more carefully reading what you just wrote I understand that what you are saying is rather a "causality" (lagging) thing: market causes eur/usd to rally (or lags stock market).

Do you mind sharing your thinking on this? I think it would be very helpful in inter-market analysis, but if it would take time for you to discuss this, you can leave it for anothet time.

Regards

PS: Folks: Ivan is really a pro in forex trading. I really mean it. He may not agree with me, but I think that Forex is really harder to trade than the stock market as it can turn "on a dime", and Ivan's trade in the forex section are really worth looking at.

Appreciate the compliments. Quite simply, I think that EUR/USd is following more of a pulse on risk, and equities are leading the way on the risk temperment. The higher risk aversion, the lower EUR is tracking. Same with AUD, CAD, GBP, etc.

PM me if you still want to know, but I might charge you for the information if you have the money, or give it you for free if you do not have the means to pay for it.

Cheers!

That is great insight! I did not think of it that way. I was thinking in terms of money flows resulting from sales of position in US stock market and money leaving out of US, which leads to the opposite conclusion.

I seriously think that you should consider writing your thoughts and put them on the side. You have a lot of insight about currencies and world money flows that hot shots in banks and advice companies would drool to have!

The significance of your analysis is not in the why, but rather the correct anticipation of what to come, with the why. Ask a general, and he would tell you that if he anticipates the enemies moves, the battle is almost won before the first shot.

given the choice, i will go with free :D

but i know i should be paying for your insights!
 
hey Bill, I think I know why you did not post the PM call. If you want me to share, let me know. :p

You are one of those old cooks billy. When one eye is worried (and half closed), you throw away the weather reports (even if you pay for them) and stick to the cash post for safety.

Sometimes the return OF your money is more important than the return ON your money.

PS: For those of you who do not yet see the exact meaning of the above language, rest assured that a guy like Bill and others know what we are talking about.

The mighty ball truly sucks ass.

Don't you think, Mr. Rennick?

Here my reading of Bill. He is a believer in trend trading. He sets his mind on a direction. If it is long, he buys retreats. If it is short he sells bounces.

I think his calls should be considered with what I just wrote in mind. I think that he can make good money with it. But what I just wrote is not trivial for everyone to follow. In other words, one needs to be like Bill to trade Bill's calls.

My sense is that Bill's old profession is something like a soldier or a pilot. He does not question things. He follows orders/ check lists, with an eye on the pile next to him to see if it is growing as it should

That is it. That is my reading of Bill following Bill's method, with the hope of getting more bills.

One last thing, if he doubt the commands, he disappears, and stick to the cash post.

Bill: now you can insult me or praise me. Both are fine with me. :p
