WHAT SKYNET KNOWS THAT YOU DON’T

 

“Say hello to your friendly liquidity provider!”

We live in an age of human development where very few understand the scope &

power of computer networks … none more so than the scumbag LP banks and

HFT’s that are our modern day “robber barons” in financial derivatives markets

… and even though I try and keep up with developments in the crypto & FX

space, I can’t run fast enough most days to keep pace with these scumbags, so

that I know what their latest scam is and therefore how to defeat it.

First, step back a few months … sure, we had the pandemic in March & April and

that upheaval wasn’t as bad in FX as I had originally thought at the time it could

be … the reason is obvious … blatant FED manipulation of FX rates via

“swap lines” to other central banks, thus allowing them to manipulate their own

currency … and then the “game” changed at the end of June, start of July … “I

find the timetable for this “coincidence” coming right at the end of the 2nd Q

troubling, cuz it smacks of massive coordinated manipulation by deceptive

planning of the master manipulators at the FED” … in other words, there is no

such animal in markets that exists called “coincidence”! … but the paradigm

shifted yet again, cuz comparing statistical analysis of market behavior in FX

prior to July 1, looks nothing at all like price behavior we’ve seen since … is this

simply an anomaly? … no, IMHO it isn’t, it’s a subtle paradigm shift, one that I’ve

been thinking has happened lately but couldn’t quite put my finger on it … well,

I think I have the proof of the shift.

Take a minute and take a good long look at the graphic below … I ran across this

very early this morning doing some market background prep reading for today’s

Cable trading … and Bingo! Bango! Boom!, it instantly all made sense to me

what’s really going on in FX … here’s the proof.

“Holy shit Batman”! … 94% of traded major dollar pairs, of which includes

GBPUSD, representing an AVERAGE VOLUME SIZE OF $31 MILLION DOLLARS

[notional] ARE TRADED USING EXPERT ADVISOR [EA] SOFTWARE! … in other

words, the vast majority of large trades are being done by software that sits on

the servers of the scumbag LP bank! … EXIT QUESTION: “Do you somehow

believe that the scumbag bank isn’t going to know what your software does for

buy/sell decisions, and that their filling of your orders are going to be skewed

cuz they know”? … only a Biden voter would believe there’s nothing “unseemly”

here and that the potential for disaster could be very large!

And so, it makes perfect sense to believe that the scumbag LP banks computer

networks KNOW WHAT ALL THE EA’S ARE DOING 24/7, and can then tell which

EA’s are going to be buying / selling . where the stops are / and can adjust in a

nanosecond to buy right before you’re buying, or sell right before you’re selling,

and then stick you with a shit fill off the market … “and now you know with

certainty, why Cable can run 10 PIPS straight up, then go 15 PIPS straight down

… this idea of a deeeeeeeeeeeeep liquidity pool from all of these top-tier banks

is nothing but hype & bunk … somebody quick get me my hip boots cuz the pig

shit is getting deep in the FX pen … the stench of “scumbaggery” from the usual

suspects is choking me!

Since we now know of this proliferation of EA’s in recent months, it’s why FX 

markets can’t do anything but go straight up or straight down, and then die

… cuz when the EA orders run cold, the scumbag banks got no orders to fuck

over or run from stops … and so what is happening, is that although volumes &

liquidity are dropping like a stone in water, it makes the scumbag banks

JOB EASIER to run price to their immediate advantage, and to the complete

disadvantage of anybody else using traditional methods of price forecasting,

whatever they may be.

Given this info, isn’t it amazing that with all these EA’s doing 94% of the trading,

my piddly order [cuz it ain’t 31 million in size] of 100K or 200k still gets raped and

taken out back and shot in the head … with all this volume size and all of this so

called deeeeeeeeeeeeep liquidity, somebody tell me why, when the market is

going straight up and I’m long and want to liquidate, when I hit the sell button I

send the price lower by 2 full PIPS, get a shit fill, only to see it rebound and

continue to go straight up … imagine how the “average” 31 million is getting

treated? 

Bottom line of all of this? … don’t expect FX to start “trending” anytime soon,

cuz the new paradigm of EA trading, where SkyNet knows EVERYTHING, and we

know nothing, is the new name of the “great game” … in other words, hope you

like your box of bullshit pricing and market behavior, cuz it ain’t ever gonna get

any better … simply too many people & institutions to screw over for that to

ever be allowed to happen again.

And with this new knowledge born out of actual facts, and not my opinion, it

requires some very subtle algorithm coding adjustments, that take into

consideration the driving force behind moves … any move! … and so today sees

me early make the computer code changes, run it on a demo with some demo

trades to insure it’s “right”, and then load it onto the PAMM for signals direction

… and when I go back and take a look, what used to be “noise”, now makes

perfect sense cuz I can calculate the statistical probability of a large

institutional EA’s buy/sell points with amazing accuracy, and front run them

before the scumbag bank LP takes them to the cleaners … and I very much like

what I see here, cuz what was just a hunch, now becomes reality!

So far today, no trades in the TURNKEY PAMM / MAM.

I’m posting early today cuz I see a very active night ahead with the election … if

I do trades later, I’ll post an additional update if they’re before 5 PM EST,

otherwise I’ll be ready in the Asian session to see what happens …. With what

I now know, I don’t foresee any more days of no trades, and the PAMM / MAM

will be quite active going forward .

… until later or tomorrow … Onward & Upward!!

NEVER LET A CRISIS GO TO WASTE

“Now more than ever!”

Let me amend Rahm’s infamous uttering … “never let a crisis, real or imagined, go

to waste” … and both in society at large and in financial markets, it’s hard to tell

the difference anymore … in the headlines this A.M., rich, overpaid, hypocritical,

ChiCom loving, money grubbing, shiftless / lazy, NBA players on strike cuz of a

shooting in Wisconsin … anything more hilarious than this recently? … news

flash for the NBA: “go ahead, you won’t be missed … I like many others could

care less about the NBA, MLB, and most likely soon to be NFL, and have had it

up to my eyeballs with societies malcontents whining while they make millions

from a system they profess to hate … won’t support you, and won’t come back

… ever … oh, and don’t let the FACTS  of the shooting get in the way of your

SJW narrative, no matter how inconvenient, cuz as we all know, the only thing that

matters is the LIBTARD agenda … no worries, though Lebron, cuz once your

league goes bust in the U.S., you can always go to ChiCom land and hustle over

there, where I’m sure Xi & his thugs will welcome you with open arms … what

could possibly go wrong”?

And so right on cue, here comes Spicoli in a few hours with his bullshit from the

faculty lounge Twits over in J-Hole, Wyoming … appropriate I think, cuz Wyoming

is a very big place and can hold all the bullshit … financial markets? … well, we’ll

see, but the only metric that matters to the global elitists at the FED is the SP500

& the NDX100, while main street U.S.A. burns down to the ground, jobs &

businesses lost forever, and the CNTRL-P machine stays on “high” forever

… “how do you like your new life via government handouts”? … forget work,

forget that small business dream of yours, here’s your “stimulus” check! … isn’t

this great? … the FED can just print money forever, and then decide who gets

what, and what can possibly go wrong?

Quite frankly, the only reason I’m confident that FX will continue & thrive into this

dystopian future, is that the POLS, Apparatchiks, regulators, and other assorted

miscreant creatures from the “swamp”, need their money under the table from the

banks thieving ways … take away that, and the money flow stops, and I for sure

don’t ever see that happening until the revolution that sees them all hang by their

ankles from trees, while old ladies and kids hit them with sticks … I can dream

can’t I?

With Spicoli done, and bullshit piled high across Wyoming, FX hasn’t a clue what

to do … no worries, the scumbag LP banks will help, no doubt … and what we end

up with to end the European session, is something I’VE NEVER, EVER SEEN IN

MY TRADING CAREER, that spans longer than most of you reading this have been

alive … and that’s a QUADRUPLE REVERSAL DAY IN THE 11 - 19 SERVER TIME

EUROPEAN SESSION! … the M30 candlestick chart directly below.

click on chart to enlarge

And once again, I find myself in an episode of”The Twilight Zone”, where I’m

wondering, “WTF is this”?, or has SkyNet gone completely insane and the

machines are taking over? … and what needs to be said, is that the trading

algorithm’s first priority is to not get whacked, then go make money … that

means NOT buying rallies or selling breaks, but exactly the opposite … which, for

you Obama voters, that means buying corrective breaks inside of rallies, and

selling rallies inside of corrective declines in price … “but what if we get a nasty

“Flying Wedge of Death” [FWD] like the M30 candlestick above”? … well, all the

rallies have no breaks and all the breaks have no rallies … EXCEPT on the top &

bottom turn, and then it’s a straight trip to the other extreme … so, if the market

isn’t going to behave and act normally, and instead does “stupid shit”, the algo

won’t get trapped into a trade that loses money, but instead sits it out … now,

that doesn’t mean all trades are winners, but means over the course of the

session multiple trades will deliver the desired result, and if we get no proper

setups, then we sit and wait … and trading simply gets more bizarre by the

day / week / month as central banks panic and their BFF the scumbag LP banks

get more and more greedy … and down the road somewhere, the entire shitshow

circus of financial derivatives will implode, and let the revolution begin!

NO trades today in the TURNKEY PAMM / MAM.

Strangest day I think I’ve ever seen … pure buy / sell panic several times, and

markets moving straight without corrective activity of any significance on things

a doofus Twit from the faculty lounge says and is treated as “gospel”, but in fact

is pure fantasy guesswork … unreal … “can we please GTFO of August”?

And sure, it’s frustrating as hell sitting here and watching EURJPY give us the

middle finger and bypass buy/sell algorithm signals and just go straight to

wherever it is the banks want it to go, and then turn on a dime and then it’s “panic

city” the other way … and for the record, none of the other crosses doing Mr. Jack

Squat either … it was a day where all the FX majors are moving in the same

direction, but at very different speeds, especially via the Yen, and why taking the

dollar equation out of the picture is best for profitability … in my wildest dreams,

though, never expected to ever see a quadruple reversal that was past about

20 PIPS or so from the open, that you can sometimes see in Asia as any market

tries to figure out where to go … that’s not the case today, although ranges

weren’t that great and were relatively skimpy in the European session … so,

tighten the “big girl panties” and move onto Friday.

… until tomorrow … Onward & Upward!!

SWEET MUSIC PLAYS ON THE DECK OF THE TITANIC

 

“Trusting markets to SkyNet since the start of 2015!”

File this under, “wow, this shit never happens”! … oh wait, an Italian 

Apparatchik now says Italy’s budget can fit inside E.U. rules … EURUSD 

skyrockets … “and another mistress fund gets funded instantly … who could 

have ever foreseen this”? And so, the orchestra plays on while the Titanic 

sinks, and of course EURUSD goes lower from this, proving my premise once 

again why this shit happens.

And trust me, this isn’t unique to EURUSD, or any of the other FX pairs that 

dot the landscape … in the last 2 days, we’ve seen some bullshit shenanigans in 

USDCAD as well, causing sell stops to get taken out in CADJPY in a blink of 

an eye, and then right back up 10 - 20 PIPS … nice work if you can get it. And 

this type of action very much worries me.

Which brings us to today, and the utter horseshit FX markets have become 

… again, if I had a nickel for every Apparatchik on the wires today, I’d walk 

away today up about 2K, no doubt about it. It was “dead meat” across the 

board up to the 10 AM release of the ISM numbers, which blew out on the 

upside, thus creating fears of higher interest rates from Spicoli at the FED. 

Meanwhile, the manipulations get worse … EURUSD, GBPUSD, & now 

USDCAD getting in on the action with mystery spikes from hell … WTF is 

next, locusts? 

COMMAND DECISION TIME

This past weekend, Cos [Chief of Staff] Milton Waddums finished work on the 

XAUUSD algorithm … which, with one major modification, is exactly the same 

as the “-vegas EURUSD Algorithm” … no difference really outside of that 

major modification. In addition to that, over the weekend in discussion with 

Turnkey, we got new server times, with new banks and dealers, that on the 

surface are doing a much better job of filling orders. Now, Turnkey for all of 

their faults, cuz remember no brokerage house is perfect [if I had one, it’d be 

perfect … but that’s another story for another day.], has by far the best 

XAUUSD [spot gold] market going anywhere on the globe … there isn’t 

anybody better IMHO … during the 7AM EST - 2:30 PM EST time frame, 

the spread is usually between 6 - 10 cents per OZ., and RT commission will be 

another approximately 2 cents per OZ. 

I’ve stated before that our “Uncle Milty” is a “gold bug” from way back, as am 

I [kinda], and I’ve been looking forward to his finishing the algorithm. Gold 

daily ranges have been expanding, and since Spicoli has headed up the FED 

from Grandma Yellen, and Trump has been President, the “Rally Protection 

Team” [RPT] has been for the most part absent from the gold marketplace, 

where they overtly suppressed the gold price through sell manipulations 

between 2012 - 2016. While they can of course always come back, I don’t see 

this happening.

For most of today, until 10 AM EST., FX was dead … I traded XAUUSD in 

my personal account … the algo worked to perfection, and on one trade 

liquidated a long position 2 cents off the bid high for the M1 … a better fill I 

could not have expected. Meanwhile, the haphazard nature of regular FX, 

with it’s “TNT & Crickets” bullshit, is an almost impossible task of getting 

good algo positions on … impossible in EURJPY, at the moment, and pretty 

“Hoover Dam” tough in CADJPY as well … “I need trades, and getting one 

signal a day in anything FX is bullshit”.

So, it’s command decision time … and that command decision is to drop all of 

currency FX and trade XAUUSD … in the PAMM & at C2 … starting 

tomorrow, all trades both on the advisory and in the PAMM will be only in 

gold, where expect about 80% of the time to be long. “And folks, while I don’t 

like to be “wishy washy” about markets, and go back & forth, I can say with 

confidence [cuz crude oil ain’t available to us to trade], I’m going to be staying 

in gold until hell freezes over … quote me on this”. Back to the future everybody 

… should have never left!

For those in the C2 advisory signal service, EMAIL ME FOR ANOTHER 

MONTH OF FREE SERVICE SIGNALS, and I’ll send you a coupon code that 

you can use when your due date is up sometime this month … it’s the only fair 

thing to do. I’ll be keeping the service at C2 named the same, cuz it’s really the 

same algo as EURUSD, with the major modification I mentioned before. There 

will be more signals per day, and much higher profits to be had … I look 

forward to it with great anticipation. I’ll be updating the website over the next 

few days to reflect the changes.

As for today’s trading, another totally frustrating day in currency FX 

… CADJPY a major disappointment with 2 signals, and while I’m not 

complaining about fills in CADJPY, the action in USDCAD a total piss poor 

nightmare, resulting in extremely choppy CADJPY action, with most of the day 

a total waste. And while gold can get choppy at times, it doesn’t stay that way 

for long … and with increased ranges, that makes it worth trading.

PAMM today down about $50, but I’m totally focused on implementing the 

gold algorithm starting tomorrow … time to move profits forward, and I 

think gold is the place to do it! “Currency FX, reminds me of the Titanic … it’s 

going down as the band plays on with not a worry in the world … at some point, 

everybody gets tired of being manipulated by the scumbag LP banks”.

I need to get the PAMM Spreadsheet updated, and after tomorrow’s gold 

trading, it’ll be up on the blog … “time to focus on our favorite yellow pet rock”

 … until tomorrow mi amigos … Onward & Upward!!

Have a great day everybody!!
