1.40 on euro dollar is on

The markets are frothing

Stock that would go up 2 dollar on earning is going up 5
there is too much liquidity, no taper, market will continue up

looks like S&P will spike up towards year end - 2000?

Its all QE


The reflexivity trade - reversion to its trend for the dollar to pull up a bit towards 1.3550 may come up, but I would only go long the euro for now

fundamentals are against the dollar

digi

check the chart of UVXY - vix related etn

key to this trade
only go short
when the fear is really high
and very close to the time of decision

key is to know who controls the decision
its boehner, who will decide for a vote
breakaway republicans and dems will pass the bill

so watch when boehner distances from team partiers
time to short the vix

in this case,
debt limit date oct 17 is first key
and the next week is critical

vix would peak before this
s&p will have a sharp drop along with this vix peak

this will NOT blow up,
because the resolution of the issue is in the hands of Obama and Boehner

my thesis

its about 50% return in 1-2 week

there is no "top" to the vix
you just need to be closer to the trainwreck time
ultimately, republicans will back off

you need to be closer to the deadline
and remember not to miss- AND have rnough funds to hold on if there is a run up in the vix

VIX can easily kill the account by the way - with a 911 or '87 type drop

not for the faint of the heart

easiest way to make money
short the vix

debt celing WILL be lifted by early to end next week

1630 is level to watch on S&P,
I will short VIX around this level

VIX will fall atleast 50% right after first compromise comes

Whats your stop Sir?

info moving across the globe and back will take full day
enough time to keep the euro running up

there is no catalyst on the horizon for tomorrow

2nd law of motion, once running keeps running, until hit otherway

i think early next week might be good time to look for a short entry

could run 1.37 by friday

i wd nt short it here


would be interesting to hear what AL would say for today

the only logic i can think of is the fed getting scared for mortgage rate jump or debt ceiling issues

whatever the logic afterwards,

fact is tapering out risk in
AND tons of folks were on the wrong side of the trade
automatic euro rise for covering

my rules for event based trading

rule 1: first let the event happen
THEN, take a position

rather than investing based on probability of event,
better trade after the event has happened

since, information takes time to travel in the market


today's event is a euro long, risk long, gold long, s&p long

If I am losing money on a consistently,

first, stop trading
figure out what s wrong
either the analysis is wrong or the market is wrong
but more often, execution is the problem

make changes, try an alternate strategy
work small, build confidence

in random market movements, human emotion always leads to losses
if you r a small trader, there is no need to jump in everyday, and come out a loser. The emotions will get you to be small in profit taking and big on losses.

in directional movements, you can make money, specially when a major macro trend changes, typically via crisis or central banks

examples:
- EU crisis troughs last three summers
- Japan election win last year
- US monetary stimulus 1,2,3
these have clearly resulted in major moves

AL is good in these things.

better do no trades than bad trades.
gambling is good for cansinos - atleast there is some entertainment around.

Loosing 50% of your 200k is 100k.
To make that back from 100k, you need to get 100% return.
Impossible for an emotionally driver trader.

good luck
