Yes one fine day we will meet I hope but not at a trading psychology workshop. I can teach the subject myself :-). I follow you for your fundamentals and correlations perspective and nothing else. Anyway have a good meeting.

digi, and in the absence of some sensibe degree of moderation from above how do you restrain racial abuse and plain ignorance. How do you restrain multiple nicks. How do you provide some guidance on the required format of the forum and general ethos to be observed by all. The forum is a mess, it lacks any structure. Is it technical or fundamental or a mix of both, I don't know. There are far more posts that lie somewhere inbetween and often these are rude and disrespectful of alternative methodologies and viewpoints. I gave up describing my own methodolgy a long time ago as it simply provoked contempt and misplaced mirth, yet it works for me personally and that is what should be respected.

Now that AL never visits the forum with his own fundamental observations it no longer provides any value for me personally. I don't need his technical opinions and if I did I know other tech platforms which would pale this one into insignificance. Where do we go from here ? the only service which would make sense to me is for AL to upgrade to a proper RT platform on protected membership site. I am certainly not planning to rejoin his subscriber service unless he upgrades the whole structure. One month trial was enough to be thoroughly irritated. I do believe he has something to offer on his s/t fundamental readings and his correlations expertise but he doesn't know how to implement an acceptable service to a busy trader.

@ Jacek, I don't much care if AL closes the forum. It has little if any real value. Bit of an identity crisis one might say. It is obvious that AL despises his own forum !!!! How much time does he spend nurturing and responding to his forum members ? instead he now uses twitter as a pure marketing tool with little if any useful commentary (His old buddy Michael Hewson provides more value now imo) and the IMT's are often not very timely.

I think AL should bite the bullet and launch a proper RT live feed service with or without a secure forum. The twitter method of communication is utterly unprofessional for paying subscibers. Its like a kiddy's addiction stream as compared to serious platforms for serious traders.

Gunjack, refer back to posts made Feb through May on skipper playing audjpy when the crazy jpy high spike occured on the 17th March. You will deduce he turned around massive losses into substantial profits but as he says his methodology requires balls of steel, not something I could do and not for any but highly experienced currency traders with large accounts.

This example will give you a better idea of how he works his trades than the recent EU/chf/jpy trades where I too have not been able to keep up with all his posts mixed in with you guys at each others throats.

Peace man !

Fortunately I have to travel up country for coupla days so will be stood aside most mkts, no worries on disciplines. I don't get the impression that most traders are fully sensitive to the dangers that lurk this week. I wonder how quickly eu could reach parity in a surprise crisis which would inevitably impact upon every other mkt imaginable :-) I am not too interested in publishing analysis until I know that greece have approved their default plan devised by idiots, their masters. I will leave it to AL to stick his neck out in whatever irresponsible degree he sees fit calling trades. Egos must be fed, assumptions must be made, the party must continue at all times :-)

If you have to trade this week trade carefully and gl to all. Gambling might be a more appropriate word :-) This is my analysis for the next coupla days :-)

"They can save Greece or they can save the eur but they cannot save both" JM.

No marks for guessing which they will save !

Every time Greece comes back for more bailout IT IS DIFFERENT THIS TIME AROUND, because they are that much closer to crunch day. There will be little if any prior warning.

Hey guys, are we still waiting for our great EU leaders to agree their lil prob with Greece or did greece finally throw the inevitable two finger sign ? Not much news or data getting through to me in Lucia but wifee think dat funny. Oh well, time for bottoms up again, dey have no respect for da 6.00pm rule here, island brews 20 different rums so serious work to be done yet my friends. I will try to chart some useful recipes.

Good trading to all in the face of chaos.

Reading this brings back memories of when the introduction of the ECC was being debated across the region. Why oh why did eurozone not pay a little more attention to the objections of their wiser partner GB ? !

jacek, yea definitely. I been watching it. I made a rule when I added forex to the trading list not to touch jpy or chf until I developed a feel for CB interventions. Think I will start selective trades on the eurchf now.

Chloe, we will discuss the ABC's on skype to save me a lotta typing and irritation to others. Let me know when convenient. Its imporatnt to fully understand the various implications, not just the levels.
