right now the EU declining wedge is probably nothing more than longs covering awaiting this darned news.

i guess few false breaks on both sides could drive the BOT crazy... and totally wrong footed... :)

I have zilch respect for any of the bots I have seen but if based upon mathematical currency correlations I could visualise something of potential value for shorter term trades.

yeah dave...

i guess you can't program the bot to trade on fundies... :)
BOT is the only reason why CAT can make some pips nowadays...
hope CAT can realize this truth why his BOT can consistently make pips and he's always wrong footed when on his own...

Subs, your criteria alings with my stuff. Within that its a question of who wants to take scalps, individual styles.

nice theory subz . Traders don't influence the markets . Agreed charts indicate some anticipation but that is wrong in 50%. Fact is in the total of all trades of EUR crosses and of USD crosses, both weaken in parallel thus EURUSD moves a mere 40 pips.

CAT...

understand my posts....

current runup from 3840 level is still ongoing.... as long as 3950(break below 3950 and i say resumption of downtrend already) holds.... i see more upside....
short term.... as long as it trades below 4200(break back above 4200 confirms bulls are back and ready to take it higher)... will likely see drift lower.... and most probable target would be 4030/50 area...
this drift lower will not be a straight line... you can probably scalp trade within the tunnel.. if you know what that means... :)

would be a good opportunity to short 4160/80 with 4200 stops.... if you want to play the short game...

yep agree Subs but let's be thankfull that Cat now trades his bot which I would guess has transcended his results as compared with reading the fundies at any given time. I like his very contrarian fundamental comments, they make me think a little, they make me wary of any assumptions I may have made for the larger picture. They make me diversify my savings which is probably a good thing.
