SUNDAY UPDATE: STATISTICS MATTER!

“What you trade AND where you trade MATTERS!”

Directly below, this week’s ‘VIX MATRIX TABLE” … take a good, hard look.

click on ANY chart or table to enlarge

I’ve added a new column, that takes into account the average bid/offer spread

when trading … WTI Crude Oil & DOW30 CFD’s trade commission free at FX

CHOICE, but everything else is calculated from PRIMEXBT … one major item of

interest regarding crypto, is that these figures are for trading approximately

$2,000 notional amount of the crypto pair, which is not very large in the scheme

of things … climb higher, and the percentages of what it costs to trade relative

the 20 Day Range MA go north quickly.

And so, looking at the above table, what jumps out at you? … well, it’s the

TOTAL COST to trade the DOW30 at FX CHOICE relative to its 20 Day Range MA

… at less than 1%, it’s one of the very best CFD’s out there that has everything a

trader should be looking for, which is 1) above average IVIX [intraday volatility],

2) most days see 90% - 95% of the days range confined to NYSE trading hours

[9:30 AM EST - 4:00 PM EST], which is a 6 ½ hour day … the more the movement

in less time, the better the market, and 3) a fairly stable bid/offer spread with LP’s

that fill orders in about 300 - 500 milliseconds … not the fastest on Earth, but

good enough to convince me I’m not getting screwed by an MT4 or MT5 robot,

meaning I’m being filled at the market price from a legitimate LP.

I like the fact that at FX CHOICE, the DOW30 CFD is 10X the index, so a 1 lot

volume is = to approximately $290,000 … in addition, the PAMM /MAM is cleared

to trade up to 100 lots, and if I need more at some point, all I have to do is tell the

banks what I want, and they’ll up the ante with no problem … by comparison, the

DAX30 at FX CHOICE is one of the very best around as well … sadly, it’s not the

same with either the SP500 or the NDX100, which have far higher costs and make

both unacceptable for trading.

Now look at crypto, and when you consider it’s only for $2,000 worth, why on

Earth would you pay these exorbitant fees in order to trade it? … I can see some

BTC trading, even with its relatively high cost cuz it moves, but the others? … I

mean seriously, take in fully the percentages involved here … you’d literally have

to be nuts to trade either EOSUSD or XRPBTC … each trade is gonna be OVER

10% of the day’s most likely range? … wut? … by comparison would you trade

gold with a $17 spread, or the DOW30 with a 27 index point spread?

Directly below is the FX CHOICE PAMM / MAM uptodate results. Since it’s the start

of the new year, why not start from January 1, 2020 and go forward from there?

Directly below, a statistical breakdown of key data for 2019. I’ve also posted it

over in “Download Links” for future reference. 

Directly below, our 20 Day Range MA’s broken down by group.

STOCK INDICES

All have a slight “skew” to the upside, due to the “war that wasn’t” … this will get

worked off in due time, but it’s important to know the DOW30 is about 20 index

points higher than normal from that one night.

PRECIOUS METALS

Some slight upticks, but gold is still very unstable in New York with ranges all

over the place. It still has a very big problem with slippage on fills.

FX [GBPUSD & GBP CROSSES]

FX volatility at all time record lows, and Cable’s 20 Day Range MA falls below 100

for the week.

It’s a heavy dose of earnings for the DOW30 this week, and of course we got the

coronavirus in China & throughout the world to deal with … it looks to be a

volatile week … until tomorrow mi amigos … Onward & Upward!! 

Have a great rest of your weekend everybody!

SUNDAY UPDATE: NEW MARKETS, NEW OPPORTUNITIES!

 

“Wake up & smell the coffee! … A mandatory quiz comes later!”

Before I get to gold and how “Hoover Dam” sick it is, my focus today is on 

OUR NEW WEBSITE, www.traderzoocrude.blogspot.com , and it’s up and 

running as I write, with my first blog already posted over there. Add it to 

your web browser favorites or toolbar, and sign up as a follower while your at 

it … Thanks!

Now, here’s the deal … "Traderzoo Crude" is primarily about WTI Crude Oil 

& Nat Gas markets … however, there are 19 other Commodities, FX, & Stock 

Indices markets that are available for trading, where I can employ a multitude 

of volatility strategies with limited risk … “how’s this possible”? … visit the 

website and find out, cuz no need to be redundant here … “let me just say, 

though, that once you understand what’s being presented, and how to take 

advantage in the markets of your choice, among the other 19 markets, I’d bet you 

won’t want to trade anything like you’re trading markets now … and I’m most 

pleased that among the stock indices, the Russell 2000 [RUT2000] is included, 

and I know of at least one reader [“yes Gary, here’s your 15 minutes of fame”], 

where once you “get it” you’ll be on it like white on rice”!

Quite frankly, with the focus of “Traderzoo Gold” on gold, it becomes harder 

each day to give attention and focus to other markets that are moving and 

making gold look sick … the blog just becomes to long and unwieldy. Not so 

now, cuz while I focus on our WTI Crude Oil signals service trades daily, I’m 

also able to focus on the other 20 markets as well, looking for low risk, high 

profit potential volatility situations, and those interested in those can simply 

visit the website daily.

Even if you don’t think you’re interested in anything but gold, please visit the 

new website and read my first blog … “trust me, what you don’t know, WILL 

COST YOU MONEY, and this is no exception … what I present is most likely new 

to most readers, but once you get your eyes opened, your brain will explode once 

you realize, that what I’m doing in WTI Crude Oil is exactly what the vast 

majority of traders in the world desperately need, and that is a very volatile 

market with limited risk, high profit potential, and no worries about scumbag 

LP’s running a stop … in other words, “Yes Marie Antoinette, you can have your 

cake and eat it to! … so, do yourself a favor and read it”!

OK, on to the gold market … directly below, gold versus the SP500 for 

comparison.

As you can clearly see, gold simply gets sicker by the week … why are ranges 

collapsing? … and notice the difference in gold between the daily and New 

York … “hello Asia & Europe, what the hell are you doing, cuz you sure ain’t 

trading gold are you”? Take a dive between the numbers and it’s even worse, 

cuz what’s happening is a few days have decent ranges that “skew” the 20 Day 

MA higher, and make it appear on the surface there is more action than there 

really is … “and the problem is, nobody has any idea which days are gonna be 

“skewed” higher and which are sick … seems Squid & the boys have left me off 

the email list”!

Onto this week, and while my options positions via the C2 options advisory 

signals service are doing well in GLD [SPDR gold ETF], the rally has been 

pretty sick, although gold is well supported via market perception of a radical 

shift in FED policy from tightening in 2019, to one of almost no rate hikes 

expected in 2019, and rate cuts in 2020 … still, as I’ve stated before, buy rallies 

in gold, and “sleep with the fishes”. This time is no different, and so we wait in 

the PAMM for appropriate breaks in price, especially in Asia & Europe, and 

then getting long in New York … “chasing price higher in gold will get you 

nothing but a ticket to the poor house”.

Have a great rest of your weekend everybody, and PLEASE visit our new 
website NOW! ... Thanks!

OUR TURNKEY FOREX “PAMM/MAM” IS OPEN AND

OPERATIONAL, AS WELL AS OUR C2 OPTIONS ADVISORY 

SERVICE.  DETAILS IN “DOWNLOAD LINKS” SECTION IN 

RIGHT HAND COLUMN. START YOUR JOURNEY FROM 

WHERE YOU ARE AT TO “ESCAPE TO SUCCESS”!

 

WHAT COULD BE SIMPLER?

 

“That look you get when everything you believe in turns out to be bullshit!”

Things you wish were true but aren’t; 1) financial markets are “fair & honest”, 

 2) our elected leaders serve the “people”, 3) the intelligence community 

[another great oxymoron] works for the protection of the people, & 4) “justice” 

is honorable. Things you know are true; 1) today’s Democrats are thug, 

authoritarian Stalinist's, 2) most Republicans are spineless pieces of jelly, 

3) government at all levels is corrupt, and 4) no bank, in any capacity, has your 

best interests at heart.

A small list to be sure, but I continue to run into people who have that  

“Dorothy look”, cuz they can’t believe their country has turned into shit before 

their eyes in less than a generation … “well, Sheeple continue to vote for 

corruption, bribery, & graft, so what do you expect? … keep returning to office 

assclowns like Schumer, Pelosi, Waters, Feinstein, and the rest of the corrupt 

cabal, who’s only real talent is moving goalposts for an MSM that has the 

“vapors” for more progressive bullshit, and promoting MOAR free shit for the 

Free Shit Army [individual responsibility is so “yesterday”] … financial markets 

are just a reflection of greater society … fish rot from the head down … all the 

cesspool of corruption & bullshit present in the hypocrite capital of the universe 

[D.C.], is also prevalent in financial markets … some days it’s hard to tell which 

has the greater stench”.

Turning to today’s EURJPY market … “Chuckleheads will be Chuckleheads, 

ramping EURJPY higher in the last 2 hours of the Asian session … of course it 

gets faded, as Mrs. Wantanabe & gal pals wouldn’t know what to do with profits 

… all they ever do is deposit MOAR money”. We’re in the European session now 

… which means of course, all markets are basically dead … nothing here but 

“crickets” … “oh for sure the Pols & Apparatchiks, of all stripes, are out on the 

wires babbling about “Brexit” this and “Brexit” that, getting Cable to dance for 

the mistress fund, both up & down, and a little coin for the Pols & regulators who 

don’t do shit, but expect and demand their cut anyway … an amazing sight to see 

as headlines race by, which one can outdo the others and say the most inane and 

already known info, as if it’s newsworthy, which can only mean the purpose is to 

line somebody’s pocket … “if only Vito Corleone knew what could have been” 

… would he have been any worse than the scumbag LP’s , Pols, & Apparatchiks 

we have now”? [Hint: emphatic NO.]

And of course, I fully expect SHTF sometime between 7 - 8 A.M. EST, as Wall 

Street “early birds” get to their trading desks, and another “NFP day” [cuz the 

day ends in “Y”] will be at hand in financial markets, from equities to FX.  

“Just another day in the manipulation washing machine”.

“Well, that escalated quickly to the downside didn’t it”? … and once again, 

making me look like a broken record, Pols & Apparatchiks step in the way, move 

markets drastically with volatility from the HFT’s & scumbag banks, and the 

results are all too familiar … Congrats to the Chuckleheads, who once again 

show the world how to buy highs and sell lows, any market be damned, but who 

today excelled in shoving EURJPY to over 133.000, tripping over themselves in a 

buying frenzy, that now gets undone [installment # 4,898, 766] by either Europe 

[if it ever moves again] and/or the U.S. session … Mrs. Wantanabe, call your 

banker”!

Once again, it’s another “NFP Friday Friday” trading day, with almost all the 

action [except for the Chucklehead buying spree at 2 AM EST.] confined to the 

7 - 10 am EST window … and now? “Well, now that Theresa May pissed all over 

bullish enthusiasm, especially in Cable which is getting monkey hammered 

unmercifully, and the fact that EURJPY has been up every day this week, where is 

any of this stuff gonna go? … here @ 10 AM EST, the M1 candlesticks are already 

approaching 1 & 2 PIP ranges, and unless there’s more downside selling via 

people who haven’t been paying attention and are still long, and the banks looking 

to take out further sell stops, I have a real hard time seeing EURUSD and/or 

USDJPY rallying … where’s the buy fuel gonna come from”? Not sayin’ it can’t 

go up a couple of PIPS, just that the risk here going forward the rest of the day 

is definitely on the downside.

“OH BE STILL MY BEATING HEART”!! … well, it’s about fucking time 

IMHO, proving once again that the squeaky wheel gets some grease … One 

trade today … PAMM up a little more than half way 0.1%.

Directly below, the day’s trade with commentary.

Only one [1] algorithm buy signal up to about 10 AM EST … it worked out OK 

for some bucks, but the real news is I actually got decent ON THE MARKET 

BID/OFFER FILLS, on both entry and liquidation from the Turnkey LP 

… “should I run out right now this instant and buy a Powerball ticket? … why are 

the dog & the lovely & gracious Mrs. attempting to shove me out the door while 

nodding their heads”?

Going forward into next week, what we need to see are 2 things; 1) could all of 

you Pols & Apparatchiks just STFU and sit down, and pretend to let markets 

function normally … do you have to open your collective Pie Holes every 

fucking 5 minutes with inane bullshit?, and 2) we need better “flow” to prices 

… yesterday we got that, and don’t make me relive the Turnkey MT4 fuckups, 

that had me in therapy well into the night. If we get either or both, it would be 

ideal, especially in EURJPY. And while I’m placing my Festivus wish list for 

the trading Gods to see, how ‘bout some better activity in USDJPY … these 

small and shitty daily ranges are irksome at best … quite frankly, take it up or 

down, it matters not to me; just let it move some, OK?

The “-vegas EURUSD Algorithm”, which is what I’m using to trade EURJPY, 

was specifically designed to take into account scumbag LP bank manipulation 

and short term trade flow, that results from playing and thinking like the bank 

casino, instead of the craps customer … and unless some truly bizarre, never 

before seen, market behavior sets in [which, let’s be honest, is possible], the 

algorithm “NAILS” bottoms flat cold … tops are different cuz there is “skew” 

involved with tops that most often you don’t see with bottoms. Today more like 

Wednesday, with the “NFP-itis” of FX, that sees very little in the way of 

windows of trading opportunity before the manipulators hit the exit gates 

… and when that happens, all you got left is “chop” & stops.

My volumes are still low, for the very simple reason I need to see better flow 

from the market before risking more on a position … trading action of late, 

notwithstanding yesterday’s good daily range and trade flow, have been rather 

dismal … if you get caught on the wrong side, there isn’t any way to make the 

loss back without upping leverage and trade volume, which if going into any NY 

afternoon with Squid & the boys is not really something that usually works out 

for you … “Vampire Squid [GS], JPM, & Citibank are the other crooks crook 

… what they do and how they fill orders is IMHO nothing short of criminal”.  

When trading action improves, I’ll be raising volumes in the PAMM and on C2 

accordingly.

On Sunday night, I’ll have another special Sunday night update, with some 

important stats on EURUSD, USDJPY, & EURJPY … I’m cutting today’s blog 

early, cuz trading is already starting to die down, and with the ranges we 

already have, I don’t see any reason for them to extend themselves in any 

meaningful way … sure, might be a little more to the downside or upside, but 

the reactions back will come quick & be vicious, leaving you squarely in the 

hands of the NY banks in less than 30 minutes when Europe closes … it’s a 

recipe for extreme chop, with plenty of risk and not a whole lot of reward for 

the effort … so, leave it the hell alone. It is what it is, you can’t change it … it’s 

the way markets are now, much to the central banker Twits delight.

Until Sunday night mi amigos … PAMM Spreadsheet will be back then 

… Onward & Upward!! [“Seeing how I got filled today like I should, how many 

lotto tickets should I buy? … the dog says drain the bank account … the Mrs. 

says 1, and play everybody’s birthday … decisions, decisions … see, it’s not easy 

being me”!]

Have a great weekend everybody!!
