I doubt anyone in sound mind will expect an ECB rate hike tomorrow. It will be the wording of the report and Press conf to dictate direction.

Yes that would be truly ironic for all the "very wise" gold hoarders accumulating the yellow metal for insurance purposes to find their "insurance" is suddenly worthless. Something unimaginable like this is ultimately gonna happen. I am not up to working out exactly what but I'm always interested to read catnip's "outside the box" posts on this subject.

I tend to agree with you catnip, eurozone is still very much a bomb waiting to explode with its deep underlying debt problems and not to mention Japan's potential debt time bomb (whose debt servicing costs cannot remain at near zero indefinitely). Defaults in one form and another will abound over the years ahead.

All players are of course relying upon GDP growth combined with a degree of austerity measures/tax revenue increases to reduce their deficits but the latter is negative GDP growth. There will not be enough buyers to satisfy exporters. Capacities will exceed demands for many years.

I see all nations suffering, just some more than others. The stronger economies will be dragged down by the weaker and politicians will not address their underlying economic problems until their next crisis forces them to do so, by which time their problem is even greater. This is always the pattern but this time around the last 50 yrs of living way beyond our means increasing debt and leverage poses unimaginable solutions.

I do believe we have a global depression heading our way any time soon but the the lesson I have learnt over the years is that markets take much longer than we might imagine to react and adjust to underlying fundamentals. Thus, as traders, we should trade the "today" and leave the forecasting of timing to others who like to pit their egos against the odds.

As to the DX the move down has continued to have short term comparitively shallow rets up along the way which tells us the trend is down. If and when the trend reverses up we shall see short term shallow rets down along the way. This is the only kinda information I find useful for trading purposes. Matching "short term" fundamentals with technicals can be useful but any attempt to trade what we perceive to be the longer term underlying fundamental position always spells disaster ime.

OK gotcha. What confused me was after registering for the one week free trial I then hit the "Show Real Time Bullets" tab and message came up "only for subscribers" so then I deduced the real time flow would come on stream once "paid" subscription was made.

Later after talking with you here I went back and hit the tab again and low and behold the stream came live. Just a glitch, trust me to find a glitch, I always do with new stuff.

Thx, all a bit mind boggling in the absence of private forum. I don't envy your task pulling all this together, forecast 12 months to evolve :-) I am wondering whether the "Show Real Time Bullets" page is live now to subs. If so might as well subscribe now rather than wait a week in order to get the feel for it all. I realise you need the twitter for promotional purposes going forward but screen real estate is always a premium (even with 8 screens). And I can also speak from experience that the older traders have added problem of eye strain, yet they are often your best potential customers.

Chloe, I assume you refer to the ret up in usdcad. So far as I am concerned the trend is still down on daily but might be ending 5th wave (5waves within) from the 9973 high.
