FINANCIAL ARMAGEDDON

 

“Hyperinflation is on the way!!”

One of the hallmarks of any system before it collapses, is a dramatic increase

in chaos, and the velocity of that chaos to spread rapidly to participants … in

other words, how many reversals can the system handle, and how fast do they

come? … and the answer is, too “Hoover Dam” fast! … and it makes for some

very rough trading! … gold a nightmare [today a double reversal and it ain’t

over yet!], “Stock Bellies” not very far behind, and other markets like FX

beholden to “Scumbaggery & Fuckery” from the usual suspects based entirely

off of order flow … and about the only thing certain about order flow, is that

it’s a constant scumbag banks take advantage of and move FX.

Quite frankly, there is very little that can be truly scalped on the MT4 … bid/offer

spread bullshit games, commissions, and slippage the great equalizer for the

banks … what is clear, is that central banks will do anything to preserve the

status quo when it comes to FX trading, so a combination of “day trading” with

scalping makes a lot of sense, especially when other markets are coming

unglued … just too fast of movement in “Stock Bellies” and gold with risk

parameters blown to Hell in the process … case in point the DOW30 today, which

was a nightmare mess both up & down, and the usual reversal games in gold,

thank you very much FED.

And since scalping EURUSD at Coinexx can’t be done successfully cuz of

spread games + slippage, stepping up the ladder of VIX and widening the spread

a few tenths of a PIP, we come back to GBPJPY … it won’t be a true scalp, nor will

it be simply a day trade … mix the two … and to that end, in order to add a

directional component to the trade [as good as the m15 IMHO], I add the ZERO

LAG MA AT PERIOD 96 [steel blue up slope, pink down slope] … my buy

algorithm trades I want to see steel blue, and if pink I generally avoid them

… directly below a screenshot from today’s trading.

It’s important to note also the risk or reward of BOJ YEN intervention … if they

are to intervene they do it when, 1) too many longs in the marketplace and they

trap them with a rally first, and 2) you don’t sell into strength in USDJPY, you sell

into weakness, cuz the market is already willing to go down and longs are

already bailing out … remember, the purpose of intervention isn’t to make money,

it’s to punish specs … the worst thing that can happen is if you intervene and the

market gobbles it up and goes higher still … now what? … and that’s why they’ll

always sell USDJPY on weakness, and why you follow the algorithm!

No trades in anything today … tomorrow is a “bigly & yuge” data dump, along

with the FED interest rate decision … plenty of action tomorrow.

GROUNDHOG DAY … GOLD VERSION

 

“Gold appears very angry!!”

We’ve been stuck in this movie for far too long … we got the dump on the

Sunday night open that took gold below 2K, nice job FED … now it’s simply

reliving “pump & dump” right near the 2K level, with I’m pretty sure of a very

active “Rally Protection Team” [RPT] … and when the buying runs dry, look out

below! … we’ve seen this a million times before in gold, where it looks like

nothing can stop it from going orbital, and then the bottom falls out

“el quicko mucho” … why should this be any different?

And in case you haven’t noticed, the red spikes down are about as vicious over

& above any market trading … and as soon as the scumbag bullion banks buy

spec stops, up it jumps in microseconds, and if you try and buy that, you ain’t

gonna like the “mystery tick” fill you see next … quite frankly, there is nothing

more rigged than this anywhere … and then of course, after the robbery,

mugging, and rape, things settle down appreciably into a crawl ‘til next time

… there isn’t anything here approaching “trading”, only panic up/down … exactly

the way the FED wants it! … in other words, gold is not really tradeable … sure,

anybody can position it and pray, but do you have any idea what your reward /

risk ratio is? … it ain’t good, and in fact it’s lousy.

Tiny ranges, but we see $1+ m1s all over the place … and that only happens

when the spikes [up or down] are bullshit bullion bank hit jobs on order flow

… and there isn’t any way you can either trade it or protect yourself, cuz you

don’t know second-to-second what the news flow is, if any … this isn’t how

trading is supposed to be! … with horrendous slippage on fills, they got us all

by the cashew nuts.

No matter how fast the algorithm is, as constructed now, there’s no way it keeps

up with bullion bank “Scumbaggery & Fuckery”, and sooner or later you’re forced

to sell a red spike down on risk parameters, and “oh boy” watch the butchery on

the fill then! 

From a trading perspective, I’m forced to go back to the DOW30 for the PAMM

… even with slippage there, it in no way is as bad as gold … and with current

NYSE session 20 Day Range MA of almost 400 index points, it has far more

algorithm buy signals than gold does in a 6 ½ hour session … advantage DOW30

by far, without the scumbag bullion dealer bullshit partnered with the FED … I’ll

be in the DOW30 starting tomorrow.

No trades for the PAMM today, just nothing to do in gold but get chopped up, as

panic up/down is the only thing going on, and it doesn’t last long at all … I see

what’s going on in here, and I don’t like it at all … from a scalping standpoint,

gold is nothing but trouble, mainly cuz you can’t define risk properly … it’s way

higher than you think … should have never left “Stock Bellies”, with the DOW30

the prettiest horse in the glue factory and the tightest spread with lowest

slippage … over at IQCENT, a decent day in XRPUSDT, with some nice signals for

scalps … “The Syndicate” UP APPROXIMATELY 0.3% on light volumes … just

grinding for yield is all … onto tomorrow.

SUNDAY UPDATE: THE FURY THAT IS COMING

 

“Don’t assume they are both equal!!”

Again, the world didn’t end over the weekend, and it makes me very curious

about tonight’s open, and whether or not the FED does a “shock & awe” futures

selling blitz in metals sometime this evening, one that sees gold get monkey

hammered back below 2K  … we’ll see. I would argue, this war has very little

to do with gold going orbital, and has more to do with the deteriorating financial

condition of the Banana Republic.

Manipulators are out in force in gold, and we saw 3 blatant attempts on Friday

to try and force gold lower via sell stops on horseshit news stories, which were

obvious plants … and what is becoming increasingly worrisome is that it’s

impossible to tell legit from bullshit! … the real question for the gold market, is

where is the FED’s “puke point” in terms of their massive gold short positions?

… do they even have one? … and while this could get really ugly on the upside,

never discount the ability of government to change the rules of the game to

benefit them [the Hunt brothers could not be reached for comment], and in the

process trap longs and bring about a vicious market reckoning on the downside

… it’s happened before!

“PLANTED NEWS STORIES” BINGO … DID YOU WIN!?

 

“Manipulators win, specs lose … what’s new? … where do I file a claim!!?”

Well, here we go again … everything winds down to “negotiations” that mean

nothing, more death & destruction guaranteed in the future, and a world that

lives in hate & fear … why? … that’s easy … too much money to be made off

of proxy wars, and weapons systems kickbacks & commissions … what’s it

gonna take for Sheeple to wake the fuck up and start asking where 60+ years

of proxy wars have gotten the nation? … want war? … then go fucking win it!

… there’s your peace & prosperity!

Gold right now is a “hair trigger headline market”, especially going into a

weekend, where the Sunday night open could literally see anything in terms

of price movement … and that means plenty of “Scumbaggery & Fuckery” and

planted news stories & headlines designed to separate specs from money

… you see the moves first, then later you get the supposed reason … just look

at the source, and it’s pretty easy to figure out who’s actually behind it and for

what purpose … nothing ever changes inside the casino!

Take war, threat of more war, “peace” whatever the fuck that means, impending

weekend, “Stock Bellies” tanking, add it all up and you got the biggest FUBAR

in the history of trading right in front of you … no thanks, I ain’t playing rigged

Bingo! … ranges so tiny you need a microscope to find movement, except when

somebody floats some piece of shit story from “people familiar with the situation”,

or some out of nowhere middle east rag that pretends to know something … no

trading in anything today … what a frickin’ mess … blog update on Sunday.

UTOPIAN DREAMS … BITTER REALITY

 

“Just spend more money you don’t have & everything is F-ing AWESOME!!” 

Endless proxy wars … endless demands from the “Free Shit Army” … moral

decay & corruption that definitely rivals Biblical norms … no will or desire to rein

in out of control spending … next stop Venezuela for the Banana Republic …”hey,

don’t look at me like that, you voted for these Shit Weasels! … 81 million votes,

remember?”

“Markets” [cough, bullshit, cough] are as FUBAR as I have ever seen them in my

long history of trading over decades … free markets? … please, don’t insult my

intelligence … the only sector that is remotely “free” is crypto, and the “whales”

there have learned the secrets of effective manipulation from their FX masters,

only they care about profit, which helps drive volatility WHICH IS GOOD!

… meanwhile the central banker scum does not … they care about agendas and

destroying all specs while enriching banks so they can pay the appropriate

“skim” back up the ladder … “you think “protection” is free? … you need to talk

with Mr. Soprano & his associates Sil & Paulie! … thinking about fucking over

the regulators on their skim? … talk to JPM about that and see what they have

to say after BILLION DOLLAR fines!” … and gold? … well, after the last few

days, find me a group of specs that have any money left … talk about an

abandoned order book … Vlad, XI, KIm Jong-Un, Assad, and every other thug

inside the middle east are smiling!

i’M MAKING A MODIFICATION OF THE ALGORITHM, from the blog post I posted

yesterday RE XRPUSDT … those parameters are mostly for “day traders”

… they give enough of an edge, where some kind of short term trend has been

identified, in order for “day traders” to ride it … however, it isn’t the OPTIMAL

ALGORITHM FOR SCALPERS! … that comes now!

Over in “Download Links” are 2 new indicators … 1) ZERO LAG INDICATOR,

which is a zero lag stochastic, and is in mql4 code … 2) ZERO LAG MA, which is

in “*.exe” format [sorry, I don’t have the code for it, only the executable] … the

stochastic indicator has parameters of 5,3,3 … the inputs for the zero lag MA is

shown directly below.

There are 2 zero lag MAs … one period 19 [AQUA COLOR UP SLOPE, ORANGE

COLOR DOWN SLOPE], and the other period 9 [PLUM COLOR UP SLOPE,

YELLOW COLOR DOWN SLOPE] … other than the period length, the inputs are

exactly the same.

THIS IS A MUCH FASTER SCALPING ALGORITHM AND WILL KEEP YOU ON THE

RIGHT SIDE OF THE MARKET FOR YOUR SCALP TRADES … Note that the

stochastic oscillator has no limits, and can be higher than 100 and below 0 … I

still use yellow lines, 90 & 100 above the market, and 0 & 10 below the market

… rules here are extremely simple … BE LONG WHEN 1) THE HULL VARIATION

OF THE ZERO LAG 19 MA IS AQUA & THE HULL VARIATION OF THE ZERO LAG

9 MA IS PLUM, AND THE STOCHASTIC IS POSITIVELY SLOPED AND BELOW

THE 90 - 100 LEVEL … don’t take long trades when the stochastic is above the

90 - 100 level, even at crossover … BE SHORT WHEN 1) THE HULL VARIATION

OF THE ZERO LAG 19 MA IS ORANGE & THE HULL VARIATION OF THE ZERO

LAG 9 MA IS YELLOW, AND THE STOCHASTIC IS NEGATIVELY SLOPED AND

ABOVE THE 0 - 10 LEVEL … don’t take SHORT trades when the stochastic is

below the 0 - 10 level, even at crossover … IF YOU’RE A ONE SIDE TRADER,

THEN SIT OUT THE SIDE THAT’S OPPOSITE YOUR PREFERENCE.

Today I tracked the algorithm in EURUSD, SP500, GOLD [XAUUSD], & XRPUSDT

… it’s very fast, the signals are awesome, and in any session there are many

opportunities for profit … directly below, part of the day in XRPUSDT from the

MT4 at Coinexx.

What you’re gonna discover when you trade this algorithm, is that it takes a

RIDICULOUSLY LOW VIX to reach a failure point where the parameters break

down and start giving too many “false positives” … sure, when VIX is plentiful,

pretty much anything works well, but as we’ve seen far too often, the

manipulators specifically attack VIX and create headaches for specs, while

enriching themselves via chop … tomorrow sees the PAMM put this into

practice, as I move back into gold … a lot of the problems gold traders face are

mitigated and dealt with very effectively … even with bullshit chop of $5 for

hours on end can be handled, so unless we go back to really ridiculous levels

for gold ranges and trading action, this algorithm should solve a lot of problems

for us as traders … I’m not foreseeing that, but I am prepared for it!

No trades in anything today, as I tested and ran the parameters through its paces

in different markets via my own account … onto tomorrow.
