  • US: A Green Rate-Cut Light Flickers in the Distance

    From economics.bmo.com

    This week’s two critical reports on the labor market and inflation started setting the stage for the next Fed rate reduction, with their headlines of ebbing employment growth, rising joblessness, and slowing price changes. However, beyond the headlines, questions concerning data quality and other results argued for a more cautious policy approach to begin 2026, compared to the consecutive rate cuts in the final three confabs of 2025. We are sticking to our call for the next action in mid-March, skipping the next meeting in late January. Payroll employment rose by 64k in November, after falling by 105k in October ... (full story)

Fundamental analysis is completely irrelevant when it comes to trading. Waste of space and time. Instead of focusing on TA and perfecting the system and working on risk management traders follow this complete and utter nonsense.
Per your exalted command of TA, where will the SnP be at the end of the year? in 30 days? Same question NDX? Gold? Bitcoin? USD/JPY? etc etc.

Right. You are afraid to put your money where your mouth is and make actual trade calls. Just come in the news comments continuously to say, "I'm great and all you fools are beneath me." What a bore.

Your title is chickenshit. You make no calls, show no trades, just a whining little bitch who shows up continuously to find fault with other traders. Fuck you, chickenshit.

More rate cuts will mask the problem for now, but make it even worse in the long run.

Recent great example is BoJ and its decision to hike rates. TA clearly pointed that JPY will continue to depreciate. Rumors that JPY will strengthen after BoJ's hike, JPY carry trade, intervention talk is all completely irrelevant and only clouds the vision. Those who were able to stay away from nonsense made good money shorting JPY.

How is one supposed to know where SnP will be by the end of the year? TA shows you direction, not the ultimate price at some given time. FA doesn't show you anything and is only getting in the way of TA. People predicting where price will be in days, weeks or months are on the same level as people that rely on FA. Also, I highly doubt it that people who make money are here sharing their trades for free.

The whole concept of getting titles (diamonds) next to the name by how many people are subscribed is ridiculous. Titles have to be earned... there has to be a meaning behind that High-Impact Member title. I don't personally mean you, but in general. It should mean that your opinion matters, your trade calls matter. That you earned that title through accuracy and consistency.

From TA and FA to show me your trades bro. Does this have anything to do with FA and how irrelevant it is? Chickenshit is funny though, not gonna lie. You got triggered by WHAT exactly? You really think FA is necessary for trading? There's a difference between skill and knowledge you know?
