Good Afternoon,

I told you so. We analyzed the V pattern and the fundamentals and all signs were a go in equities to move higher and for the most part the USD to weaken. But, it does take constant analysis to put on trades, manage the trades and exit trades when necessary.

Good Afternoon,

How about that for a trading range? What? Not happy? Oh, you must be in the forex markets! Hey, we have talked about this many times. There is an underlying bid to the equity markets due to central bank intervention and that keeps the VIX low and trading ranges down. For whatever reason, the equity and options markets have been way more "active" then the forex markets for the past 12-18 months. I am not sure why, but that is just the way it is.
