PIE HOLES IN JACKSON HOLE … HOW FITTING

“FED Chairman speaks to adoring elites at Jackson Hole confab!”

Oh how exciting! … the world awaits golden raindrops of wisdom from FED 
Chair Spicoli at Jackson Hole, Wyoming … financial markets are spellbound 
… gosh, this hardly ever happens [snarc]! In the immortal words of a famous 
propaganda chief, “Think of the press as a great keyboard on which the 
government can play”! 

Natch, the scumbag LP banks are sure to know in advance, what it is he’s 
gonna say & do … the fix is already in, nothing to do but wait for the 
“scumbaggery” to unfold and then see which side of the trading equation gets 
wiped out via stops … then they’re out the door for some golf and the weekend, 
and the “C” team can wrap the loose ends up ‘till the close. “It’s good to be a 
Gangsta”!

It’s truly amazing to me to see all the financial websites that “report” on 
financial markets, especially FX, and simply repeat and regurgitate the  
“company line” [i.e. central bank narrative du jour], and write endlessly about 
“fun-der-mentals” [there aren’t any, and even if there were you wouldn’t have 
the complete list to make any kind of rational decision anyway], and talk about 
“support & resistance” lines like they are magical … there’s no magic here, only 
the planting of subconscious ideas into your head for stops so the scumbag LP 
banks can run them when they break them … and just like that, the entire 
meme of “trading” should become self-evident, which is simply what I’ve said 
for ages … “the purpose of trading is to allow big money to get small money to do 
what big money wants them to do [buy highs & sell lows], all the while small 
money thinks it was their idea and are completely clueless that they’ve been 
manipulated like a puppet on a bunch of strings”.

Of course, round up the usual suspects and topping the list are Reuters, 
Bloomberg, & CNBC … listen to these talking heads and I guarantee your 
account is gone soon … two others on my favorites list are www.fxstreet.com
www.forexlive.com and you’ll get the usual rabble and help in placing those 
stops that get run with amazing consistency, along with all the obvious reasons 
why some FX pair rallied or got “monkey hammered”, and the whole world 
saw it, and why didn’t you? “Nobody is better than the Mrs. at pointing to a 
chart bottom and asking why didn’t I buy it there … umm, cuz it would have put 
us into a higher tax bracket”?

Turning to today’s EURUSD market … “Live from Jackson Hole … well, that 
escalated quickly to the upside didn’t it? … first though, on some Spicoli 
comments right at 10 EST, the scumbag LP banks had to clear some sell stops out 
of the way to get long from the “scumbaggery” shit they pulled right before they 
blew the lid off EURUSD so they could sell the buy stops above 1.16300 
… somewhere Vito Corleone is crying cuz the jealousy is killing him [again]”!

And, just like that, 22 minutes after the  coordinated “drive by mugging” of 
financial markets, especially FX, it’s almost 10:30 A.M., and time for some 
light lunch, a round of golf out at ‘Wing Foot’, and then the $50K bottles of 
Dom Perignon tonight in the Hamptons while partying … “I said it earlier with 
just a hint of sarcasm … it wasn’t meant to be a “How To Manual” for scumbag 
LP bank thieves”. And so again, just like every single day this week, volatility is 
literally dead … no pulse … and then BOOM!, off the frickin’ charts almost to 
infinity … minutes later it’s back into a coma … “you think this is some kind of 
coincidence? … hahahaha, sure it is”.

Quite frankly, this week has seen probably the worst trading conditions I’ve 
ever seen in major FX pairs … let me count the ways; 1) intraday volatility 
completely dead, then lightning in a bottle, then back to dead, 
2) “scumbaggery” on the part of the scumbag bank LP’s in filling orders via the 
HAL9000 slippage software, 3) widening spreads cuz of … you know … “duh, 
market conditions, duh” at the drop of a hat, 4) Pols and/or their anointed 
Apparatchiks opening their Pie Holes for profit more than usual, and 5) late 
August vacation time seeing very unusual trading activity.

Through all of this, the EURUSD algorithm has proven to me its mettle and 
worthiness … if it can shine through the shit we’ve seen this week, very bright 
days are just ahead. Yes, this week volumes I’ve chosen to trade, for the most 
part, have been very light, including today … there are valid reasons for this, 
most notably cuz it’s late August and the world is on vacation making volumes 
and liquidity very iffy & light … lack of sufficient readings on the proprietary 
 “volatility heat map” have also kept trading on the sidelines as well, but the 
important point is that the algorithm doesn’t know of the “volatility heat map” 
… it doesn’t know volumes and liquidity are at times non existent … and yet, it 
keeps picking winning trades, regardless. Once next week is over, and we have 
our Labor Day 3 day weekend, I’ll be taking all of the signals from about 
3:30 - 4:00 A.M. EST through the day into the Wall Street close … more on this 
on Sunday night when I post a special Sunday update blog. Point is, while I’m 
not “backing away” from this week and results puny, I’m more interested in the 
live conditions the algorithm is trading under, and more importantly are there 
any “traps” or other unforeseen circumstances “in real time” I need to sidestep? 
“Theory is great … how’s it performing in real time”? Well, to be brutally 
upfront, it’s as good as I’ve ever seen, and my kudos to Cousin It & CoS Milton 
Waddums for the hundreds of hours of leg work getting it done.

A few trades today … PAMM up slightly … [made up that $3 loss from 
yesterday, so I got that goin’ for me into the weekend!]

After all hell broke loose on the upside at 10 A.M. EST., of course two [2] things 
immediately happened; 1) the HAL9000 slippage meter went to “MAX”, and 
2) the spread in EURUSD tripled … in other words, nice fair markets [excuse 
me while I puke] … algo gave a buy signal at one point, I got long and got 
ripped 1 PIP getting in, even though I bought on downticks, and then got 
ripped again getting out … all told I made a very small profit, but it showed me 
to leave this shit the hell alone … “they’re thieves, we all know this, but today 
highlights the stupidity of trading when conditions say stay away … and boy, did 
they say that in spades”.

All told, this has been a special week for me … and when I say this, it doesn’t 
mean we’ve got “The Holy Grail” or that every single trade forever is a winner 
… forget that fantasy shit … “what’s special to me, though, is how good it is in 
real time at saying, “yup, here’s where you buy [sell] and then here’s where you 
liquidate” … at times, it’s frickin’ scary … sometimes it leaves the trade early 
and there’s more to the move, but far more often it pegs it as good as I’ve ever 
seen in trading … and it’s the reason why both Cousin It & Milton demanded 
… not asked … demanded that it remain proprietary to us before explaining to 
me what they had found … now, after a full week of seeing it in real time in 
EURUSD, I understand their thoughts". More on this come Sunday.
 
Next week looks to be worse than this one … I hope not, but we’ll see. In any 
event, it’s on to next week, which historically has been one of the deadest weeks 
of the year in FX generally. That doesn’t mean it has to be, just that it usually is 
… and with that, I’m outta here; I got no desire to get caught on a Friday 
afternoon by Squid and the boys doing “stupid shit” and paying for some of the 
Dom tonight … until Sunday night mi amigos … Onward & Upward!! PAMM 
Spreadsheet will be back soon!

Have a great weekend everybody!!
