Euro target 1.30, buy on dips, with wide stops...

So, FOMC less hawkish, much less... of course, when I catch about 160 pips going long euros, it's on small size, which means two things, if it were large size, I would've probably gotten out earlier and kicked myself, so with small size, I didn't scrutinize every tick and simply let the momentum take it, and only mildy kicked myself... which means, I should've been able to focus and take advantage of the 200+ move in the Dow today, but I didn't, because I was slighty 'pussy', and took a 'half-shit' around 11:00am that left my butt itchy and impossible to wipe clean, so I was jumpy all day, and then there was a thunderstorm, and the amateur boxing out on Pier 45 was probably canceled, so I didn't go...

Bleeding Has Stopped, But another Fucking Fucked Up Pseudo-Long Weekend coming up...

...ever since my operating system crashed last summer, I haven't had MS word or excel... and I officially refuse to go to Kinko's anymore, as they literally charge 30 cents a minute to use their fucking 1985 dial up connection, and deliberately fucked up mouse and mousepads that you have to shove with 20 pounds of pressure to get the cursor to move 3 inches, and never mind left click or right click, it takes about 10-15 clicks to get it to actually highlight anything... and it takes about 10 minutes just to open up microsoft word... I literally tried ripping out my fucking credit card from the suck device when I logged off, and it just froze there... 30 cents a minute? That's $18.00 an hour, let alone it's a fucking 'dance-club' in there where apparently the employees are allowed to blast music during their shifts while ignoring the customers. Fuck you Kinkos. You're so fucking lucky FedEx bought your lazy ass.

It Begins... Don't Cry...

The bleeding has finally stopped, and now I must lay claim through discipline...

Helter Skelter in a Summer Swelter...


ECB Mersch: We have never said that we can only act every three months and only by 25 bp; there are several indications which point to increased upward risks to price stability
ECB Bini Smaghi: In the next few months, monetary policy will continue to follow the same strategy of adapting interest rates in relation to inflationary pressures and the pace of growth
ECB Wellink: ECB is always vigilant; the bank will not be prevented by its traditional summer break from making decisions
....

I give you a four leaf clover, take all worry out of your mind...

Steven Segal's New 'Album'...

Steven Segal and the Thunderbox Band will be playing live at B.B. King's this Sunday the 25th, June 2006 at 8:00PM. I'm 'so there'. No, seriously, I'm totally going. It's an 'ingenious' career move enhancer, as it's so 'outrageously' easy to make a plethora of jokes about, as easy as George Bush jokes, that people simply won't bother making jokes about it.

I think it would even better during his performance, which I will try to suggest to him,'without getting my wrist broken in 1000 places with some fucking ridiculous jaunty wristlock', that he wear all black, including the baggy black pirate shirts he wore in his movies.

Monstrosities... HANS



...I was in such a need to wake up during the day, that I actually bought a Monster Energy Drink. I'm not one to pay a premium unneccesarily, but at the same time, I'm not one to carry a gram of cocaine in one of the folds in my wallet, and as coffee does not work, I purchased a Monster Energy Drink around 10:00am... Turns out, about 15 minutes ago, or twelve hours later, a pick up truck emblazoned with the Monster Drink logo, and several guys were handing out 'free courtesy ' Monster Drinks. Now, the makers of Monster, or, the owners of MonsterEnergyCo, is Hanssen Natural [HANS], which has been a short sellers nightmare, of monstrous proportions all year, as seen by the chart, and a whopping 20% short float, meaning, lots of people think it's way overvalued. So is handing out drinks for free, a desperate ploy? Or does it mean Cash Flow is plenty healthy for HANS? Whatever. I'm going to drink the Monster Energy Drink tomorrow at 7:50 am on the subway or something.

Last Month I Held Aladdin's Lamp... Well Someone Came and Took the Lamp Away...

I looked... around... a lousy candle's all I found...

Managing a bad trade, or bad trading day, is like nursing a wound... often times, mere flesh wounds, every now and then, a fatal wound, and you know the trade is going to die, sometimes fast and shocking, sometimes slow like terminal cancer...

...and so you treat it the best you can, like in a hospice... and you eat your very own last supper... whatever it is... rice and roe-tsung... a bowl of captain crunch cereal...

Wake Up the Japs, Wake Up the Japs, With a Baseball Bat Oh Yah, Oh Yah Oho!

...I have the tendency to bury 'truthful' but perhaps 'mean spirited' posts under a stream of filler junk like this one... anyways, the dollar has strengthened against the Yen and has now leapt the hurdle into the 116.00 zone, where is originally gapped down in April from a 117.00-119.00 range.

Almost another Weekend... I'm going to be sick...

...I don't know if it's New York, or if there's been a massive increase in so called 'colleges' advertising and popping up out of nowhere like the dotcoms of yesterdecade... There's one add I see occasionally on the N, R subway line, that is called 'Bransomfort' or something, and it has the most hilarious looking Italian-esque kid sitting in a library of sorts, smiling at you. Everytime I see it, even if I am in the worst fucking mood yet to date(like today), I still start stifling a laugh at how absurd the kid looks, and how utterly happy he looks, like he just snorted a line of cocaine and got a solid high from it. And then I personally look absurd, because I'm sitting alone with a scowl on my face and then burst into a half-demented smile. I want to meet that kid(if he was actually a student there) and give him an A-.

It is now consistently above 90 degrees in NYC, and the ONE THING I have that is OKAY, is that I have NO PROBLEM ANYMORE enduring the heat with Longsleeves on so my fucking trash tattoos don't show.

I'm Sorry But I Can't Take You Along... Going Down Now, I'm Going Down... Going Down Now...

Filler Post 980: I'm Waiting for the Angels of Avalon

Oh, how the bull pierces Lockheed with his horns...

I am hoping I walk this summer without the woeful immortality that I have these past summers... meaning, I hope that at the very least, there's a 23.6% chance that I will die. Of course, I'm fucking painfully immortal, and can walk in front of Mack Trucks without getting killed, only disgustingly paralyzed and in constant living agony...

Just like when I went with Hay to Israel a few years ago to test my hypothesis, which was not null... I remember exiting the Tel Aviv bus stop after a trip with machine gun toting girls and boys to Jerusalem, and one hour later a fucking bomb goes off there, plenty loud enough for me to hear, while I'm sitting with some Israeli tattoo artist a mile down the street, engraving embedded ink in me... he just looked up and said, 'shit?'.

...tired eyes on the sunrise...

World Cup? World FUCK.


Who, who in their right mind would actually pay Two Months worth of Salary so as to NOT take a two week vacation? Lockheed. In the days of lore, I would've been on an island reading a fun book, with plenty of hard earned savings too, clearing my head of noise that is endless these days:
We got Waspy Hippie Faggots who want to kill all incentive(communists really) bitching about windfall profit taxes(in America, you can make money through hard and smart work, but not if the populists and especially the deservingly poor get jealous, which they always do, because they never grow up past the age of 16(the honorable poor are the one's who don't begrudge other people's successes, [ex)many hard working mexicans]), And just so you all know, when the Rich are getting Richer, the Poor are getting Richer. A Statistical Fact. It's the 'middle' that get's squeezed... just take a look at the best trade of the week(at end of post)...
And as I continue, we got Darkies in Nigeria who want to stick it to the rich oil man(that's Saudis and Texans and some Russians) by attacking their oil fields, not realizing that um, you idiots, that just drives the price of oil up, (next time you take over an oil field, pump the shit out of it and flood the market, oh wait, you only know how to operate a machete and rape women who's kids you will never feed)...
...and Slanty eyed dumbfucks who want to launch one fucking missile before they die (ooh, ooh, rockets! Daddy can I fire a rocket!)...
...oh yeah, and it's actually 'cool' if it's Che Guevera who executes homos and Christians (because he's 'latino' and nothing else)...
...and I'd say the best trade of the week? Get a job for ONE day as a white trash grease monkey at Delphi, quit, and pocket $100,000. You know what, bitching and moaning and strong-arming might actually work sometimes.

What Did The Kids Say When They Knew it was Their Long Lost Daddy 'O'...


...Yen will break 116.00 and filleth the gap at 116.55...
...Never more shall I return, escape these caves of ice...


...You don't have to worry I'm such a happy man...

I'll Fucking Drop Dead the Day I See American Kids Wearing Kim Jong IL T-Shirts...

...so the technical play is if you see the poung-sterling and the euro making strong gains against the dollar on Friday, but the Yen is still hovering at the peak of the dollar rally, you'd get a good 'edge', nay, I really fucking solid 'edge' buying Yen against Usd. Fundamentally, yeah, the BOJ simply can't be as 'hawkish' as the ECB or BOE, but net for net, the covariance matrix is well askewed towards an overlysold Yen...

Enter 'Event Risk', which is really eating away at me all weekend. North Korea might launch a missile towards the Bay of Japan(ooooh, fuck you). So the Yen is no longer providing much of an 'edge'. And Japan's Foreign Minister basically said, if a missile lands on Japan soil, even if it has a payload of 'Party Snap', they will regard it as an act of war.

So I heavily doubt North Korea will launch anything, but just the 'publicized thought' of a launch is enough to set stops off, catalyzing Yen weakness...

So all the way on the other side of the world, I'm waiting for the market to open, you could imagine how stupid and well, on edge I am carrying a long Yen position over this tumultous weekend...

...so it's a hot Sunday and I take a stroll along the Hudson River, looking at century old schooners, and ancient naval warfare, what can I do but sip at some scotch and hope that North Korea grows up, and loses that chip on the shoulder bullshit. I got about 25 minutes until I see if some panic stops are set off selling long positions in Yen, because technically, it should be trading down to 113.00, not up towards 116.00.

Johnathan Filler Post 213.... the Kids Alchemy Lab...

Today was fun, in that, so many people have some rendition or recording of Ben E. King's Stand By Me on whatever device, but the kids and mum and I were able to see Ben E. King himself sing it, as well as 'this magic moment'... at the J&R Music Festival in City Hall Park... we then ate at the 'galley' near the Seaport, buffalo bites and watched the Yankees lose.

...Might also obtain remote Mothership capabilities in my private pod... Anyways, I 'd like to see if the Usd/Jpy can stay above the 115.00 threshold, I think it'll meander back down to the 113 level...

...too many people think they're the Duke of Fucking Earl these days... I have a bad habit of not treating even the Duke of Earl as the Duke of Earl...

The Days of My Lore Ended too Early... [this post has been heavily edited]


...Was about 5 WEEKS ago when I left my job at the Swiss Bank to go to an equity trading firm... within about 2 WEEKS, and a handful of well thought out, undistracted forex trades, I made well over my monthly income... ... Anyways, I would've and should've wired a mere quarter of my forex gains into my checking account, and booked a one week, nay, two week all inclusive vacation to St. Thomas, and swim in the blue green ocean and relax and read books of fun, and then return to the city and start trading equities with a clear mind...
so we move onto WEEK 3, where I peak before the drawdown(all the while, losing small amounts at the new equity firm, which would have been capital preserved had I taken that vacation)... and as indicated in the aformentioned posts, BOOM, I put on some not so well though out, distracted trades, and well, yeah... it's WEEK 5, and all my gains are pretty much wiped out... and my equity losses are extended. So, basically, I PAID ALOT of MONEY NOT to take a Vacation.

And oh, look, awesome, it's another weekend, and I've once again built an absurd tolerance to over the counter sleeping pills... another weekend of hearing petty populist politics for the well intentioned pussyminded(WIMPS) around me, filled with kneejerk reflexive lambastement of, for the most part, the non-lambasteworthy... filled with heavily screened choices in words and places to take a stroll, and places to sit, in other words, there's a 'criteria' that must be met and never crossed... I'm so FUCKING SICK OF... ah.... the last thing I'm gonna say about global macroeconomics is this: the Price of HATEFILLED KILL FUCKING TRIPLE KILL I WILL FUCKING KILL HATE TEN FOLD RAGE SMASH CRUSH ERADICATE, WHITE HAIRS OF COUNTERPRODUCTIVE USELESS STRESS KILL TRIPLE UTTER HATE END, END, DUMB FUCK, BROKEN, ANNILIHATE, SO I CAN LIVE AGAIN... has gone up... curbs in...

When the Queen of Light Takes her bow, and the Prince of Peace Embraces the Gloom... Basically, when the Battle of Evermore Begins...



... I will spend my hours in this abode... A virtually inconceivably impenetrable fortress from land, sea, or air... who in their right or wrong mind would bother attacking this source of all puppet strings? Even a random airiel carpet bombing of the Hudson would never lay a single mortar within 500 square yards of my fortress... the chances are higher that I would die right now after typing this last word... ....as such, I am still very much alive(so unfortunate)...

I will have a wi-fi connection... and I will have to, as much as I respect him, but I will have to blind the Dragon of Darkness with the sunlight...

...they say the Usd/Jpy wavering in a range 114.65-115.25... you recall the recent days of the 111.00-113.00 range... but we are teetering at the 114.75 spot... there's a good probability with sterling and euro power that the break down will occur soon, nay, very soon, nay, tonight.

I had a decent day, the market in general was easy, because it was so lopsided on the buy side. So I just rode a long position in Boeing and Sandisk and I even went log (long I mean, no pun intended) a couple Homebuilders, TOL, RYL, which have been 'smashed' by 45%. But Bernanke spoke, and he was making funnies, and was perceived as much less 'hawkish' on raising rates.

SpacePod and the Mothership...


...the bottom half of the photo, is my abode, my special space pod that can eject and collect meteorites nimble enough not to get bashed into the Milky Way by them... the upper half of the photo, is the Mothership... with a shot of the back of Lockheed's head, and a frontal shot in the distance of a final turn to 'Good' Darth Vader with his mask off... a many wee hours locked in the cockpit here, and it has a lot of firepower and triple turbine rocket propulsion capabilities for skip-foldspace warps...

Well At Least the Yankees Won...


...Brought the kids out to ballpark to watch Randy Johnson pitch... was a fairly quick game, as quick as baseball can be... we ate popcorn and footlong hotdogs with Mum... Hay got a new helmet from the ice cream frozen balls dessert... But today, technology got the better of me in the most dastardly way... as seen in the chart, I was right, Core CPI came out higher, I was Short the Pound(GBP) overnight as indicated around the purple circle... had my bid to cover at the green circle... course, 8:30am rolls by, the strong CPI causes an abrupt dump in Sterling, but not enough for my bid to get hit... then I notice that my computer is logged off(and it takes about 20 minutes to reboot... I figure, that's okay, as I watch Bloomberg tickers on the Pound and Yen...) Next thing I know, the unexpected occurs, you'd think somebody detonated the entirety of Brooklyn with a dirty bomb or flew an Airbus into the Chrysler Building... and it's over... the majors rip up a nasty U-turn right in my face, hits my stop[(red circle) and that's a 30 minute candlestick in case you were dorky enough to wonder], and I'm a bigtime loser for the day, nay, the week, nay, the month even...
Before she left for work, Mum told me not to get mad... Hay and Curious were already at school... so before I left for the office... I cursed an inconceivably loud 'Fuck'. Then had an okay day with the equity market.

HateFilled Clairvoyance...

...PPI slightly strong, held the Yen trade about halfway, stopped out on a trailing stop... it did spike to 115.45, dollar retracing much stronger against the Yen and Sterling than the Euro, so I'm short a small position in euro going into the CPI tomorrow... Personally, I purchase slim to no goods or services, other than food and rent, as my necessity for nourishment is more internal and otherwordly, but I still keep track of pricing, and when the optimum balance between price levels to retain customers, and price levels that may lose customers but maintain enough for positive return in the face of rising raw material costs, et al. I'd say, we'll see a likewise higher CPI in about 14 hours, as a Big Mac in China is woefully cheaper than a Big Mac in the States... However, it may be buffered by the 0.0% YoY change in Mozzarepa prices. But above all, the price of hate and killfuck kill rip dead crush smash triple kill has no ceiling...

0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, 233, 377, 610, 987 is my only true hero...

As aforementioned in the previous post, I'm long Dollar against Yen... I'm up $1200... In times when your back is against the wall, you simply can't move your 'stops' up. If it goes to my stop, I will lose $900. I feel magnetism well into the 115.00 handle on the Yen... so, I give my self downside breathing room... I have no choice...

...as I am packing my bags for the Misty Mountains... where the spirits go there...

...as Earth, proved too much for the man...too much for the man, he couldn't make it... so he's leaving a life...he's come to know...

Irresponsibilty... Not My Only Crime...

...This is my final quest... to remove my mess...
...I was going to say, that the 'person' I was, is now dead, but being woefully undeveloped in so many facets of human existence, I never was a person... always in flux...

Lockheed definitely doesn't like putting himself between a rock and a hard place, but uh, yeah, he just finds himself there no matter fucking what... The FX market is ranging before the PPI number tomorrow at 8:30am est... I figure if I got the correlation matrix right, which was correct to a 'tee' before the ECB rate decision, I should be able to put on a trade right fucking now in the EUR, YEN, and GBP... and walk the fuck into the sunset of the Hudson and wake up back in the black...

Of course there is a finite risk, because trading has never been a pussy's occupation... finite being death, and death to generations of your spawn, and if not physical death, for all intents and purposes 'living dead'...

as such... it may unfortunately attract madmen, mad because of an incorrigible character flaw, mad from biopsychosocial causes,

...mad to balance things out on the bell curve...

and then the risk is infinite... as we all go out in our own little bang of sorts...

New Week, Fresh Meat... PPI/CPI



We had pulled pork sandwiches at the BBQ Festival at Madison Park and were planning to go to Museum Mile for the free admission night, but we decided that Sunday would be a good taco night for the kids. We didn't have shredded cheese, so we just chopped up some american cheese. Hay simply ate diced tomato and plain soft tortilla from the Taco Kit. I threw in a Jesus rendition simply because the photos I took in the Roman Catholic Church next to my apartment came out very sharp. It's about 10:18pm and I actually watched some NBA finals during dinner; something in the back of my mind is making me apprehensive and a bit irked out. I took some OTC sleeping pills, and will do some fun based reading and preferably fall asleep early.
Looks like stops were initially lifted on the dollar strength front, but Japan CGPI came in well above estimates, capping any early week runaway trains... on the U.S. equity front, some things to consider:
Possible cautious long positions in GLD for a bounce aiming for the $64 figure. On the yearly chart, it's retraced approximately 38.2% from its high (measured from uptrend starting in June '05- June '06 [$42-$72]) which also coincides with its 100 day MA around $60, and somewhat of a support since April. Upside looks like some consolidation at $62, with upside target at 23.6% retracement/50 day MA around $64. A daily close below $60 looks like it'll find support again at $58.

Also, and I guess this might depend heavily on PPI and CPI this week, but the housing sector has a hammer formation(reversal) on long term charts, with TOL, HOV, RYL short interest all above 10%. KBH is coming out with earnings/rev on Thursday, and of course PHM was downgraded, but seems like TOL, HOV, and even RYL have started to shrug off some of their May downside guidances.

GM possibe upside, similar reversal formation, as the Union makes progress with Delphi/GM.

After BBQ Festival at Madison Park(not the Garden)...

Museum Mile Festival 2006 - 28th Annual CelebrationTuesday, June 13th from 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm Rain or Shine and FREE During this special celebration one will have the chance to visit all the museums on Museum Mile (5th Avenue) from about 82nd - 104th Streets.

Godspeed, and Good Night...


...so, yonder day, in about 15 or so hours, at least the forex market will be open... I'll stake my claim with small size, feel things out... I just got back from Korea Town, sending an old trader friend of mine off to the Army... I had kimchii tofu stew... it was very spicy and therefore good. In the meantime, Mum went grocery shopping and got a special treat for the kids, as seen in the photo... CPI is going to be the catalyst on the USD pairs... I'm super long GBP and EUR if it comes in below estimates, if high, I think Yen will jettison to 115.00-117.00 zone. So that's the plan: If CPI lower, long sterling and euro, ride pound to 1.89, Euro to 1.30. If CPI higher, long dollar against YEN, but NOT Eur or GBP; buy Usd/Jpy to 115.00, wait for noise, then continue to 117.00

God How I Fucking Hate Weekends...

...especially after coming off of two days consecutive beatdown. CPI early next week is the only thing I care to see in the next 72 hours or so. I wish I could find a knock-out pill that will comatose me for 48 hours, because now is the time to build, not fun and fucking games, build it.

One of my main rules that I've built up for 6 trying years is not to fucking trade a listless, no-flow market... that was today, yet I did overtrade it... I should put a fucking tattoo on my forearm saying this rule, but oh wait, I have too much shitty ink embedded into my arms already labeling me a lowlife punk criminal...

...and so the deliberate, but not so deliberate as to be forced, but the deliberate destruction of a fine sculpture, a sculpture encompassing ages of manpower and 'genius'.... Genius? No... the utter intentional destruction after the fact... That is GENIUS. What comes next? The Golden Path for Mum, Hay, Curious, and heck, even Duncan.

It's the Same Old Spot as Yesterday... King of Pain...



Centrifugal force is losing its grip on the dollar/yen array that resides along sector 111-113... if you think the dollar is overbought as of late, remember that it wasn't too long ago when that wormhole appeared at 117.00 and launched all matter into the 115.00 range... The previous post on the Euro was correct with speed bumps included... as of now, I like buying sterling/selling dollar in the 1.85 range, but with a tight stop, because it's a far way down afterwards... I made a soft bottom stream for Chewy that goes into the woods, but he damned it up with stone overnight... Hay was upset that the Debate teams from other states were able to skip school this wednesday to travel here to NYC for the weekend national championships at Hunter College, and are staying at the dorms... I said if she wanted to, she could stay at Uncle's place to simulate away from home professionalism.

To Break My Fast on Honeydew...


As aforementioned, the fall is beginning... Euro and Sterling, below the figures 1.2900 and 1.8700... wait for one more last approach to the figure, find it heavily defended by offers... and I will short again... right after this post... Muad Dib... Chewy Dib...

Sunset on Hudson was Purple and Lava...


850pm est.... Euro hasn't broken yet, although the Yen and Pound have... still waiting... I just witnessed an incredible sunset... of purple, orange ripples and lava... I watched some Jason Giambi 3 run homerun at Boat Basin... then ordered a panini.... I said, 'Cuanto?' The guy working there says, 'Seis dolares'. Then he asks in english, 'Where are you from, are you Chinese?' I say, 'si, si'... he says, 'Then where you learn to speak Spanish?' I say, 'en las estados unidos...' And now I'm eating me panini with salt and vinegar chips and waiting for the Euro to follow suit with the rest of the majors...

Sunset Cycles...

So I cleaned out Chewy's tank, new filter, fresh water.... and nice and deep... Well, about the first week of the month, and I've had two down days, and one up day, and Bernanke chatter should be enough to plaster the euro firmly back into its 10 and 20 day SMA confluence... regardless of a slowing U.S. economy, Bernanke would like to lay the hurt on first, and then assess the damage, which is better than another bubble... bubble? Of course, I haven't felt my assets bubbling and burgeoning, but that's a different story...
I'm now going to watch the sunset alone along the Hudson either at Maritime Cafe, or Boat Basin... I might drown and end up swimming belly bloated up with the Canadian Geese, and that's okay too...
I figure, when I come back, and Tokyo is up and running, the Euro should be at least down to 1.2870, and then meander briefly and then drop another leg to around 1.2825... it's that second leg that you kick yourself with because you already closed your short position.

Stake Claim Well Before My Milk is Expired...


...well, here comes another hellhole weekend, and about 44 hours til I can stake any fucking claim... I could and will take a double dose of Ativan after posting this blog just to blindside my conscious for a few hours... somehow, I only made 20 pips, when the NFP number came out and the dollar pairs all ran 100+ without turning back... that's just plain fucking retarded by me... and the stock market was a three ring shitshow with no flow... I have rotting teeth, and I hardly smile, taken on a lot of opportunity costs in the past 5 years, and counting. But when it's necessary, I can still look sufficiently presentable...

To Taste My Bitter Triumph, as a Mad Immortal Man...



And now it all banks on tomorrows NFP number... today we had weak ISM, weak Construction, Hawkish ECB... the market waits, the dollar positions itself in a tight range after the selloff from the aformentioned... These are photos from the Cathedral next to my house... it's super fun and I like to go in there in the summer because of the cool temperature, and to look at the sculptures and arches, and occasionally take brief 20 minute naps in the pew between Mass.
So the Yen has magnetism to break out from its 111.00-113.00 range, and the pound sterling will either be jetting towards 1.90 or break the floors under 1.85.
