I have stayed away from the curriencies because of overnight risk but I should send charts of them european curruncie union so system are designed with past data and if u get the same pattern they work in the future but ultimately in my opinion they all fail okay? Thanks, I'm looking at Euro, but am completely confused--just 4 a change :-)--by the Canadian but is that not all one can do? peggy which strategy would u like me to discuss?

I will discuss beans tonight gordy so we will look closely at this thanks are beans part of the grains complex? because the market went to resistance today and if the market fails tomorrow all the market did was retest ressiatnce yes Jim may & July corn is at resistance, also May corn has resistnce really at 240 area any other questions I can't count both areas as resistance? is meal still the leader? or questions that were asked tonight that I didnt answer? yes u can of course peggy I think so it is the first resisstance and u r right Peggy but the key resistance is 240 becasue that is the high of the last move top of its range as well yes 230-232 is resistance as well it has been interesting to watch it float up and down and observe the volume what have u observed? didn't the volume break up today the prices are not large and neither is volume, but the OI continues to build interesting although I know that is not Wyckoff what do u think of that? price and volume is Open interesting is misleading mostly bet some one is pyramiding peggy to which side? doesent matter which nside As corn retested supportat noon volumn was lighter of course it does frank how do u make money if u dont know which side that is correct sherri could b accumulation or distribution well by watching volume and price action what does that tell u about corn Frank you watch it j a m how do u know when to buy or sell? what will determine that Frank volumn increased with afternoon rally very good sherri okay lets begin with the grains since we are talking about them I meant to send beans but I didnt so I will talk about them I have not got todays volumn yet but yesterday july corn stayed the the same on about a third less , and u should have last weeks chart as we have mentioned over the past ccouple weeks the grains appear to be undergoing accumaultion how can we tilt to this side ? volumn then the day before and today july corn went up so i would say the up sid3e is the better odds well the rally off of support ( demand) seems to be evident good Frank.... estimated volume today was Beans 63,000 corn 100,000 wheat 22,000 good! we have weekly higher highs and higher lows this represents an uptrend my thinking too gary but the ranges to the upside and the volume seem to favor the upside but what has to happen is that the market has to rally from this area with an increase in volume and price action the may beans have had thier highs at the 547-550 area this area is stiff ressiant it is resistance on the daily charts User [Sherry] left forum at Tue Apr 25 20:32:48 EDT 2000 and at the weekly charts so this market needs to get above this area with an increase in demand User [Sherry /209.240.161.80] joined forum at Tue Apr 25 20:33:19 EDT 2000 User [Lynn /209.100.190.166] joined forum at Tue Apr 25 20:33:22 EDT 2000 i think the price action and volume was good today yes it was especially in corn yes so I think that the grains are a tough buy here I would prefer to wait for them to take out resisatnce aboove prevuious highs or to buy on a pullback to support I think corn today was stronger due to spreading User [amos /62.0.147.20] joined forum at Tue Apr 25 20:35:50 EDT 2000 because corn was weaker yesterday relative to beans hi amos so they bought corn and sold beans today on spreads sorry, tough day. Hi amos no apology needed sir hi, Amos hi amos so all we can say about the beans here hi amos hi, amos, hi is that is appears that accumultuiion is still occurring and that we are at the top of the range in beans Corn: in strategizing, how far above the resistance in July corn would you have a buy sitting? and will need an increase in volume and price action how high is a "break above resistance"\ for the next mark up phase about 10 cents from here Peggy in may it is above the 240 area Hekko Amos so u can buy a breakout in beans above 550 in may beans hekko hello fibo and amos did u have a commnet on beans and /or corn? the volume increased the last two days in corn and beans and this seems to indicate demand right? my husband says "don't go against that dead Italian" ? dead italian? Fibonacci lol oh, : ) Explain going "against" him, please. the 231 low was at a target and retest was at 232 the fib. target was at 231 User [SDTREKKER /152.174.159.216] joined forum at Tue Apr 25 20:42:37 EDT 2000 How 231 is a "target"? what is the definition of the trend there? hi sd hi SDtrekker fibo can u explan please? is 231 a "4" of sorts? yes amos but we don't care if it was.. or 61.8% of something are you talking july corn, fibo? there was a target at 231.75 and when it turned up from there..then when it retested it go long with a stop under the 231. yes amos that is where C equaled A But if your stop is at 231--it could still be a spring or a terminal shakeout of the last month range?! stop is 1 + 1 under the 231. This is only on the daily Jul Corn What happens to the count when you transfer it to the monthly? In the monthly july corn last month low is 230-1/4 89% of the range was also 230.50 we play the targets instead of the count but you have 228-1/2 as the low of Feb--quite close and this collusion of two months lows is a cluster of support. significant User [&Doc /171.217.120.152] joined forum at Tue Apr 25 20:50:01 EDT 2000 yes..228.25 the market can spring these two numbers, fake every body and fly Hi Doc the 231 low was also a test of that 228.25 low and returned to the high volume bar made on 2-28 <&Doc> Hello I mention these numbers--as collection of data to be aware off and not be suprised, not to tell you what will corn do.

The market went wherever it wanted. it always does All methematics was for nought. This is why I think that trading without an entry signal is futile in the long run. it sure did amos <&Doc> you spell crappily like gary amos did u want to comment on the dollar index and the Dow now :) everything's futie in the long run . . . We are in the middle of a range and all prediction in the middle of the range are intellectual excercsised that can be very expensive if your tactic goes with the profession Doc is not good to over come the fallacy. I spell crappily because I love Kreplachs. nite all. see you soon. nite SD User [SDTREKKER] left forum at Tue Apr 25 21:18:48 EDT 2000 sd good night say hi for me amos, explain overcoming the fallacy with tactic It is the erenal battle in trading between strategy and tactics. These are two completely different things even tho, they are needed both. To say something about the market, the trend, the possible future move, the data points, the difinition etc.... is one thing. What to do, exactly, how to enter with the most efficient way, with the best risk-reward ratio, to trade them another there was never a daily thrust down on the dow at the levels mentioned. withe the best money and risk managements--is something different. We tend to talk about strategy and tactics with the same breath,Professional traders--separate the two completely . Thanks A "correct" entry signal may be more importatn than being right on the actual trend, at times. I know. I have been stopped out too many times only to see it go my predicted way after I was out. It is like this: Love may be blind, but mariiage is a real eye-oopener :) :-) :) or: If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving is not for you. lol lol! lol second chance want come up also: a clear conscience is usually the sign of a bad memory. I sent the crb cash again If at first you don't suceed, you got it wrong the first time. this market :) <&Doc> Confuamos say............ lol has broken out of its small trading range at the 194 area Budha too. and is being marked up goodnight all User [Lavona] left forum at Tue Apr 25 21:26:40 EDT 2000 amos is the foreign guru here nite Lavona night lavona thank u Why do you think that was jp?

See ya but has to overcome previous ressiatnce doc u can come by anytime I missed ya <&Doc> Okie dokie nite doc questions on the Crb? CRB seems to move slow for me because it is a composite I would like to add a sacrilgious thing about the CRB.... the index is 500 dollars per 100 points so it can have some good moves User [&Doc] left forum at Tue Apr 25 21:32:25 EDT 2000 k amos please We do not talk cycles here. I never mention them--but they are another tool, and there is some wisdom in them if you use them smartly . Also Jack Bernstein is not a stupid person. There seems to be a 5 months cycle in the crb in the last year and a half. If the month of May hold present support and ground--and it happens to be a 5 month cycle--then it is a low and it fits with the Wyckoff analysis and we should have a strong move in commodities in the second half of the year. Jake not Jack and Jill jack may have been smart too :) That is OK. We knew whom he was referring to. I know JP I love to give him s..t we are all friends here :) Notice that I talk about cycles in terms if if and if and if--not that the market WILL turn> do u think the crb index has turned up? We can say that the trend in crb is already up, right? If the crb cycle has been god for 1 1/2 years only, ist that repatable enough to predict? we know you are not Nosterdamis amos MAn I can't spell either cycles change. market tend to trade according to a certain pattern and when enough people pay attention--that pattern is gone. Ed Seykota talks a lot about this amos can u recommend any good books on cycles phenomenon. We used to have many more classical selling climaxes than we have to day because Mr Leibovit publicized them too much. it contagious JP ;) And Granville too. yes jp amos do u believe markets have aptterns? patterns? The most common ones are by Jake Bernstein. But if you are serious about cycles you should read Dewey stuff and that lady--I forget her name--something Indian. And the sociery of cycles or somethig. Just do a search for cycles on google dot com. What about Hurst and Bressert? Anyone had experience on Frank Taucher's Supertrader Alamanac? It uses cycles somewhat Markets have a-pattern. A being not in latin. Of course they have because human nature has a pattern.. but the pattern changes all the time and stays the same for ever.

The month of May is going to be an exciting month, folks amos any further commnet on the crb? tell us about may amos Waht is the margin on CRB? for tomorrow--watch the 213.30 on the June contract.

I will send this charg this week chart today was the bigges one day in the euro history, I think. my nature amos :) If that is the case why CRB and not dollar index or Euro directly? I dont know why i fall out what is the connection between CRB and currencies jp? crb is the commodity index dollar and euro are related Dollar and euro are the inverse of each other (almost) A little connection since high currency will afect commodity pricing like oil Pleeeeeeez, stop this nonsense. these correlations are so fickle--sometimes they do and sometimes they does not!!!!
