Here are the CLUES to the Bond Market reation to the FED Speak:

 

12:15 ET 10-Yr: unch..3.821%..

 

Stunted: "Bonds have been tucked into place as they await Bernanke & look out to the for sure 25 basis point cut, but temper expectations for 50 bps".

 

"Trade has backed off a heightened 80% for a 50bps go, now looking closer to 65%. The market is working a fairly tight range but :haha:they will be looking to break out to the upside, but the weight of the months longs pocketing profits will drag. "

 

"There has been stepped up talk of the Fed-head's talk lessening recession worries, but fact is, he will likely fall back on a "data dependant" course, leaving the market nothing to work with."

 

Meaning: SELL The Upside reaction and lookout below !

 

12:28 ET 10-Yr: Unch..3.821%..

 

"The prepared Bernanke comments appear to have been released early : as he doesn't step up to the crowd until 13 ET. The Fed chair notes that further policy easing may be necessary as the Fed responds to the economy. The December data (payroll, unemployment, ISM) were clearly disappointing as job deterioration raises the risk to consumer spending. That left more pronounced risks to the 2008 outlook which has worsened. Housing demand continues to worsened as the Fed continues to monitor inflation given price expectations. The note that the Fed feels at ease to ease the policy rates hardly leaves a clear message as to the size -- 25 bp or 50 bp "

 

In other words, was released early to catch as many unprepared Longs as possible and clean out the accumulated STOP Losses Orders below the Key Pivot Supports. I have seen this happened many times before with the Payrolls Report and the Fed Reports and Speaks Events.

 

Is like the Exchange never gives an explanation or excuse for the sloppy and gross inefficient released of the Market moving News Event while many thousands of real traders worldwide have their money on the market. Complete disregard for market participants and their lost funds ! And when you ask them directly, they behave like it was a big mistery, and they can't control it ! a display of complete arrogance and ignorance -( with millions of dollars of High Tech Equipment in their operations ).

Total Trades Today: 5

 

Total Points GAIN : +12.5 Pts = $625

 

New Balance: $ 24,117.75 Initial Starting Bal: $2,000

 

1,106 % GAIN :applaud:

 

AS EXPECTED The Market retraced to only 5.75 Pts above Prev Day Low Today. My prediction was that it was going to come back down to test today's Low and it was off by only 5.75 Pts.

 

My second Prediction: The ES was going to Rally 100 Points from Yesterday's Low and it is going in that direction. DAMM I'm soooooo goooood !!! ( little humor there ). No comments are needed, thank you, But THAT IS A HELL OF AN ACCURATE PREDICTION JACK !

 

The Technical Analysis worked as expected.No recognition needed ( money talks and Childish Bullshit walks )

 

Missed many good trades today, but Net result is positive.

 

To be continued....

 

Long 1296 , Target Filled : 1302 GAIN + 6 Pts = $ 300 Total Points = +18.5

 

New Balance: $23,792.75 Yeeeessssss !!!!!!

Why do you need to know that? ( No Profile Uh ? )

 

I left for a while because the board was turning into nothing but vendors and people going back and forth. Seems to be better now. I've actually been a member longer than you, but that is neither here nor there.

 

But why are you getting so defensive:question: Since you took such a defensive stance it is pretty obvious that no real money is being made here. Does not take away from your calls though. It also seems that you do not like to put stops on your trade, unless it doesn't work out in your favor then it was a two or three tick stop. Just an observation. To add major credibility to what you are doing here just post your blotter and/or positions and this would be the best journal out there.

Are YOU a Real Trader?. NO Profile? If you are on a DISCREDIT MISSION , you are in the WRONG Journal, don't need UNPROVEN OPINIONS from unknown characters with no credentials , no profile or trading history.

This post conversation is over and out, DONE.

Ronin - if you don't want others participating in your thread, please ask James to only allow you to see and post in the journal.

 

I've never seen someone so incredibly defensive when others ask questions.

 

The fact is that your journal is almost too good to be true and I'm sure you can understand any questions or speculation. And after you claimed your 100 profit target was hit twice, when I clearly showed that it hadn't, I would wonder as well if you actually trade these calls or if it's just here for amusement.

 

For example, on this long you did, there was no stop or profit set... I'm guessing we'll see an update that shows this trade made a ton of money, yet no one knows how the trade actually played out.

 

Again, if you do not want questions or comments, please talk to James about making this a view only thread or something. Maybe a blog is more appropriate for what you are doing so you can moderate all the comments.

Post your statements. If you do that and it shows what you have here I, and everyone here will declare you the king of trading. I do not have anything to prove since I'm not boasting in a PUBLIC forum how good I am, you are. I highly doubt you will post anything. So c'mon post your statements, since you yourself said bullshit walks and money talks. So you have the bullshit down, now prove you are making the money you claim.

 

Also, about the profile. You have a quote in yours and that is it. I can put a quote in mine if that will make you feel better.

 

Oh, and try posting stops and profit targets when you place the trade. It is funny how a trade moves +5 you get the +5, but when it goes +30 you get +30, and the best part is the stop outs are 1-2 ticks. However, everything is done in hindsight, not in real time. Real easy to trade in hindsight. See I'll show you.

 

Long: 1335.75 (filled 10:25)

Out: 1352 (filled 11:50)

Profit: 16.25 pts or $812.5/contract :applaud::applaud::applaud::applaud::applaud:

 

Dont worry about the stop since it was not hit.

 

Oh, I'm not going to stop posting in this forum. If you dont want people in your journal then use Word and keep it to yourself. Otherwise I'll see you around :thumbs up:

    • Date: 9th May 2024.   Market Insights: The BOE’s Potential Dovish Pivot and Current Indications.     The Bank of England is in focus as the regulator will confirm their rate decision and how their future monetary policy path may look. The GBP trades sideways but the FTSE100 continues to trade higher. Economists are contemplating if the market is pricing a dovish tilt by the BOE. The Dow Jones was Wednesday’s best performing index, rising 0.48%. The DJIA’s best performing stock was Amgen which rose 2.33%. Federal Reserve members continue to apply further pressure on the market’s sentiment with more indications that inflation is too high. GBPUSD – Investors Focusing on A Potential Upcoming Dovish Pivot! The GBPUSD trades sideways and did not form a significant trend the day before. This morning the price trades slightly in favour of the US Dollar, however most institutions are waiting for confirmation from the Bank of England on monetary policy adjustment. The price movement will depend on the future guidance of the Governor and the Monetary Policy Committee’s votes.   The market is expecting the interest rate to remain at 5.25%. However, there’s anticipation that regulators may hint at upcoming monetary policy easing, potentially impacting the Pound. Analysts anticipate a shift to a “dovish” policy this year but differ on timing. Most foresee changes in June or August, possibly with two 25-point rate cuts. The price of the GBP will depend on when the BOE will indicate a rate cut is likely. If 1 or 2 members of the MPC vote for a cut and the Governor advises they are now considering a cut, then the GBP potentially could decline based on a June rate cut. Market participants are anticipating a dovish indication due to inflation declining for 3 consecutive months and declining to a 32-month low. In addition to this, the UK’s employment change has weakened for 2 consecutive months as has the UK GDP growth. Traders can see the market is pricing a dovish indication due to the GBP’s decline over the past 3 days as well as the bullish price movement seen on the FTSE100.   USA30 – When Will The Buy Signal Again Become Active? The Dow Jones was the best-performing US index as investors increased their exposure due to its connection with defensive stocks. 70% of the Dow Jones’ components rose in value and the best performing stocks were Amgen, Boeing and JP Morgan which all rose more than 2.00%. The next influential earnings report for the Dow will come from Home Depot next Tuesday morning. Investors are expecting a 23% rise in earnings compared to the previous quarter. In addition to this, analysts expect revenue to rise, and traders should note the company has beaten expectations over the past 4 reports. Home Depot stocks hold a weight within the Dow Jones of 5.78%.   The price of the index continues to trade above the 75-Bar EMA and above the “neutral” point on the RSI. These factors indicate buyers are controlling the market. However, this morning the price is retracing, therefore a buy signal will not be active unless the price rises above $39,091 which is the breakout level, or at least forms a bullish crossover (8-bar EMA & 18-bar SMA).
