THE MARKET MEAT GRINDER

“You don’t always get what you want!”  

Well, what can you say really about any of these markets today? … “start off 
with not much, cuz outside of some “Brexit” lottery talk, that saw Cable act 
psychotically like it’s on crack, and thus once again kill traders of all stripes, 
nothing else did much of anything except chop … EURJPY a complete basket 
case of a market, and WTI Crude Oil spending most of the day in suicidal mode, 
jumping up/down 50 - 70 cents per barrel in minutes, without going anywhere 
… if you were looking for some kind of trend to make you money, you were 
simply out of luck”.

FX pairs have gotten to the point, where they need to start exhibiting 
consistent daily volatility, and not just “one & done” like GBPJPY today 
… cuz what’s gonna happen is that for every day like today, you get 3 or 4 
of complete shit in terms of range, and if you’re playing the “volatility call 
spread strategy”, you’re going to end up getting ground down into a pulp.

WTI crude oil for its part, seems to be caught in a range of 52 - 57 on the 
front month, and as today’s action shows, there is no mercy for those trapped 
at bottoms and tops, cuz this thing roars away at the speed of light and the 
next thing you know stops are being hit off on the other side … “I’m more 
than a little surprised crude today had no downside action whatsoever, given 
Trump’s “price is too high” tweet yesterday … all we saw was panic selling after 
rallies, but we saw no action below yesterday’s close the entire day … and given 
the nature of the quickness and scope of the decline, I’m not gonna buy rallies in 
crude hoping for more … while I’m somewhat constructive on oil’s price, it’s not 
gonna go galloping away to the upside, if and until China & the U.S. come to 
some sort of trade deal … otherwise, I’ll wait for pullbacks, and we saw none of 
that today”.

I watched oil closely all day, but quite frankly off of every single retreat in 
price came an almost immediate rally in price that went straight up … this 
happened 8 times today … yea, 8 … all inside a small range that barely saw 
$1 per barrel for the entire day … this in a market that currently has a $1.70, 
20 Day Range MA … on track to go lower this week as well unless things 
heat up some. If this isn’t the infamous “Flying Wedge of Death” [FWD] 
killing traders, I don’t know what is!

So, we bide our time and wait for what we want in a trade, and it didn’t 
happen today … onto tomorrow … until then mi amigos 
… Onward & Upward!!

Have a great day everybody!
