Hi all

Anyone grab the crude..Just got back from lunch and got kicked into crude at 131.15 until 131.90 T/P.

Look at R1 on 15min and 5min for perfect breakout.

School at 2pm today.

OK, onto this morning.


I have a mixed bag on the Commodities which for me personally means 'do nothing'
Gold is back in the open, having broken all shackles.
Crude on the other hand still had a lot of upside traffic, namely the 4hr & daily 20&50 m.a's.
Interestingly my 60m 20 has crossed the 60m 50, which is a good sign, so we could well see a run from the current $120.50 level to the $132.50 level, which is Resistance 1 on the pivot and my 4hr 20ema.
With any kind of upside momentum on our black beauty we could see Gold back up at $976, some 8 Dollars away !
So another weaker Dollar morning session MAYBE, unless Crude breaks all my m.a's.

So over on the currencies that leaves us with a potentially short USDJPY and/or USDCHF, with potential to the upside for EURUSD and/or GBPUSD.
USDJPY looks more bid than offerred which puts a spaaner in the works.
We've Mr King from the BOE speaking later at 9:45 so he should rustle up the Pound.

Moving onto the 5m chart for a closer look we can actually see a different story.
These 5m charts are incicating the opposite is happening and that Dollar is getting a little bit of strength back as we speak.
Crude appears to be having a spot of bother at the pivot point so won't be getting carried away until it breaks up.

There really are no gaps to the upside for Swissie for me to exploit. The same is true for the downside of Euro & Pound. It's m.a city with nowhere really to go.
USDJPY looks good to the upside IF Crude and Gold do fall but I will remain patient and pray that Crude breaks up and takes Gold for the ride.
Then we're looking for 5m 1-2-3's in the appropriate direction on the other 3 Majors.

Any question?

Hello Zak

Looks like the markets are being good to you. I have being stopping in to read the posts when work allows (still not often as I wish) and the learning continues. I really like the 5/15 minute setup and this really works for me. The addition of daily pivots is interesting and if you get the chance a pimp school on there use would be really helpful.

I am still very keen to get back into the Markets Bytes Live room with you and Dan after my August holiday but whats the story regarding post 528 and your "farewell to the room"?

Cheers Simon - New Zealand

Dan if you are lurking, hows the golf going?

Onto this mornings potentials.
I did mention the strong possibility of Gold moving higher to $976 and Crude to $132.50.
Crude has moved 155 pips since that post and Gold has also moved $5.

There hasn't been any major stimulation in the Forex pairs I cover but a couple of potentials. Long on GBPUSD and short Swissie, which is not as clear cut, but a potential 1-2-3 for later.

I'll be back in a couple of hours to see what's going on.

Please keep up the questions and let's get these brokers running for the hills.

Hi Guys

That USDCHF has been painful all morning but the setup is perfect on the 60 min. The 50 level holding firm...

Need Pimp and his doughnuts to sit on the USD.

A few guys are short the DAX from 6427 to S1.
