now you should understand what I meant by "conventional standard"
You deserved a cookie since we shared the same view intraday wise.



But I closed the long earlier, up +$33k today, standing aside now watching the market like a hawk.

ok done....buy liao and hope for the best 

BUY BUY BUY!! It's still working!!  Bulls are in charge again!

trend seems still down, with volume increasing. my guess is it's heading lower....maybe 1930-1950? 
however, if able to breakout 2080, guess new high is coming. 

You spotted correctly indeed.
However, as an intraday trader, nothing is easy for me. From what you can see on the screenshot, I even averaged down by loading another 500 puts base on the signals I observed. It's all about risk management.

(average down is not suitable for especially novice trader as it's a very high risk strategy unless you know what you are doing)

this morning, was pleased to see energy/oil all up >2%. aapl ok too.
all eyes on ecb's qe plans today...

seeing some short-covering on EURUSD once Europe opened.
less than 2 hours to announcement.

KUALA LUMPUR (Jan 22): The ringgit is likely to drop further against the US dollar (USD), if the Euro were to fall sharply following the European Central Bank (ECB)’s upcoming decision on quantitative easing (QE), according to a report by AmBank FX Research.

The research firm said a QE in the Eurozone is expected to generate huge swells and volatile shifts in sentiment, and that every one percentage point drop in the Euro’s value against USD is also likely to cause a 0.44 percentage point drop in ringgit’s value against the greenback.

The impact of the ECB’s policies will reach beyond the shore of Euro, including Asian currencies.

Based on AmBank FX’s regression analysis, the Korean won is likely to be least affected, followed by the Taiwanese Dollar.

“The PHP, THB and Singapore Dollar (SGD) will likely be most vulnerable to Euro’s depreciation,” it said.

For every one percentage point drop in Euro, AmBank FX said the PHP will likely fall by 0.61 percentage points against the USD, while the THB is expected to fall 0.6 percentage points and the SGD, 0.51 percentage points against the greenback.

“This is a reflection of the trade relationship that Europe is an exceedingly important market for Asia, if not on par with the US,” it added.
