Forex Calls Recap for 6/17/16
A fairly dead session as expected with triple expiration (currency futures expiration is in the mix and tends to make Forex dead). See EURUSD section below.
Here's a look at the US Dollar Index intraday with our market directional lines:
As usual on the Sunday report, we will look at the action from Thursday night/Friday, then look at the daily charts of all the pairs with the Seeker and Comber separately for the week ahead, and then glance at the US Dollar Index.
EURUSD:
Triggered long before A on the chart and stopped. Put it back in in the morning, triggered long at B, hit first target (exactly) at C and stopped second half under the entry at D:
Stock Picks Recap for 6/15/16
With each stock's recap, we will include a (with market support) or (without market support) tag, designating whether the trade triggered with or without market directional support at the time. Anything in the first five minutes will be considered WITHOUT market support because market direction cannot be determined that early. ETF calls do not require market support, and are thus either winners or losers.
From the report, nothing triggered.
From the Messenger/Tradesight_st Twitter Feed, Rich's CMG triggered long (with market support) and worked:
His AAPL triggered short (without market support) and worked eventually, but was not really meant to be taken over lunch ahead of the Fed, was called early on:
EBAY triggered long (with market support) and didn't do enough either way to count, closed flat from the trigger hours later:
Rich's AGN triggered short (with market support) and worked:
In total, that's just 2 trades triggering with market support, both of them worked.
