All might have noticed that EURO and GBP are making only narrow range swings as traders are keeping away and waiting to watch the show.The players are making small swings to keep the market live.In the mean time they are also handling the crosses making use of the time.
After NFP data release the players are expected to make contrarian moves - euro and gbp drop and also usd/yen drop.More drop in euro than gbp.USD/CHF and USD/CAD volatile up and down moves.The moves could be there for about 30 min and then after gap time they are expected to continue the volatile move during early us session and then slowly firm up with swings.
new lows could be seen in EURO and GBP for the day.

Operators' intentions read by 

Hello dr. regarding euro/gbp…what low and what high (realistic) can we see from now till year end? thank you
Hi Dr
Is the drop in euro larger because gb has already had a 75 pip drop.When you say drop do you measure the drop from the last low postion or the net change from the prev day close.
Thanks

“During US session they are expected to drop initially and then firm up towards close.the drops are buy opportunities in position trading to close during tomorrow - week end US session close.”

SO THESE BUY IN THE DROPS OPPORTUNITIES THAT YOU POSTED YESTERDAY ARE CLOSE WITH LOSS POSITIONS TODAY ARE THEY? I fail to see the consistency - i dont get it
Doc, what is expected to happen with GBP/JPY? during today? I’m holding a loss in long from 144.
Dr, Does the drop continue for AU before and after NFP? What about eur/gbp?
Thanks.
Travis ,
Market is a dynamic thing. The sentiments at one point are never gaurenteed to be true with passing team. Fundamental change , market orders and tendency of traders to take risk rise and fall with sentiments which affect the trends.
That is the entire reason , hedgeing has been mentioned countless times. If you take one statement as a cardinal truth and assume that it is going to remain same , it wont work.
Sum total , the whole point of the market is that it is not consistant. Money is earned on dynamics and not on consistancy. If it was like that , nobody ever needed to give upgrades to analysis.
boohoo i lost money boohoo!!!!!!!!
what is the point of the model he uses and the purpose of the blog then - why make predictions if they are consistently wrong - surely it is much more efficient to study price action and chart analysis.
I do admire the Doc and i find his analysis verbosely vague - at the very least i have learnt to watch price around the high and low markers and also to try and understand the players intentions in terms of - gap times, week beginning false moves and so on - but these things arenot hard and fast rules i have also learnt - but merely additional information to have when trading.
in truth the analysis here is toss of the coin stuff and then just enter a position with appropriate risk management. There is a higher probability of success with chart/technical anaylsis with a mind that has NO predtermined bias in the direction price may or will go.
An opinion or forecast is really unrealistic and posion to the mind - there are far and away too many inconsistencies.
Further, the trader reading the blog may have entered several positions on the dips/drops in the past 30hours from the previous blog entry - thinking he will be able to close those positions with profit at the end of today - that sort of analysis would lead a trader to hold the positions and not hedge the position - as it appears as straight down the line trading advice from the respected Doctor. Now 30 hours later it appears the Doctor is saying it is a contrarian move. Well it is contrarian to his analysis. How could the analysis here be any better than toss of coin stuff really.
DOCTOR, still remains the best forecaster ever.DR please what is the fate of GU after NFP?can we stil hit 1.67 this year?
Travis ,
I hear you . but there are different perspectives which suit different people. This style of trading may not be for you but some people it works.
Hold on to your hollihocks
I totally agree with Travis
Thank you very much NFP reacted exactly as you predicted.
so the best way is to take buy positions after the monday week-beginning drop?
Santosh,
This is very reason I feel we need clarity on type of traders and trade they punt. Doc’s views are very much real its how you apply them and the rules you enforce makes the difference.
I dont think all the rules can be applied to all the condition of the market and trick is surely to know what works most of the time.

Raj

Thank you, sir.
G.
whats the saying cant remember it right now but its got something to do with kitchens and heat.
Doc, when you say new low on EU do you expect it to go to 1.40 or u dont think it may go that low. USD/CAD do you expect it to reach 1.11? USD/YEN do you tink we will reach last years low of 87?
Hi Dr
Do you expect eur and gbp to break the high by the end of the day? Many thanks
Thank you Doctor.
Aud / usd really 85.67.
gbp euro and also fell,
new lows as expected.
I wonder about the eur / gbp, will this month that he go down to 86?
thanks again
Jane

Be hedged and be happy
