Testing $.55/6 at open 20 day MA in jeopardy
Bitcoins making an argument ... though far from safe
The ultimate Trump trade
The ol cursor in the way line ... my best indicator
<3 your coverage of spot & weather
Happy trades MY
I think below $2.732 next 4h is a short ... above it brings $2.8
$2.732 gives $2.746 and opens up to $2.784
$2.701 intraday support, will need to clear $2.676 to flush
Peculiar
Dallas Fed President Robert Kaplan believe it's time for the central bank to pull back on its aggressive easing policies.
In a CNBC interview, Kaplan said the Fed should move "sooner rather than later," a phrase he has been using in recent days to indicate that rate hikes this year are appropriate.
"I actually think we're now much closer to meeting our employment and inflation objectives," he said in a live interview. "Once you've decided that, you need to take advantage of those windows when they present themselves."
Odds the Fed will raise rates at its mid-March meeting quickly jumped from 44% to 50% after he spoke.
Investors are shifting their attention to Trump’s policy speech to a joint session of congress on Tuesday night, when he is expected to provide clues on his tax-cutting plans. "There is lots of uncertainty ahead of Trump’s speech," said Commerzbank commodity analyst Carsten Fritsch, adding that expectations for tax cuts had been raised.
Trump had said on Monday that he would propose a budget that would ramp up spending on defence while seeking savings elsewhere. "After yesterday’s news about an increase in military spending it will even be more complicated to keep the budget in check," Fritsch said.
"A massively increased budget deficit would undermine confidence in the dollar and benefit gold." The dollar index was also little changed at 101.08 ahead of Trump’s speech.
"A possible setback could set in [for gold] over the next 24 hours, but we could still end the week on a firmer note," INTL FCStone analyst Edward Meir said in a note.
Meir said that any price movement was likely to be short-lived because "many of the proposals need to translated into actual legislation and also need congressional approval".
But some upside could be on the cards for gold this week if US Federal Reserve chair Janet Yellen suggests in her testimony on Friday that the central bank is likely to hold off on an interest-rate move in March.
A delay in a Fed rate hike would be positive for non-interest-bearing bullion, while also pressuring the dollar, making dollar-denominated gold more appealing to buyers with other currencies. However, there are still some Fed officials pushing for a rate increases as soon as March.
GDX $22.5 Gold $1250 for a bounce
$9.9X though tempting may still need time to cool-off ... stocks falling in love with hopes for less regulations and policy to be introduced ... right or wrong, they can go up longer than shorts [gold] can stay solvent
Well that escalated quickly
Gapper - nice trade to those holding
Mar 3 $10 call flow 3,000 contracts
$0.56 nice bounce - Fri low vol may test it again
Lol don't we all
Good luck today
Enough to offset midwest heat?
Good luck today My
Amended Complaint not timely - they should seek a dismissal
USD ... ai dios
Longs exiting into close ... morning P&D over?
$2.747 SL if eyeing short re-entry
Overnight high test failed ... may try one more time before this 4h closes at 8am
Sold $7.04 ... might've got me on a dead cat
Selling off the close ... how beautiful
LOD after LOD ... bears made their year today
Great bounce at open, 4H approaching resistance - range bound until a b/o
$2.50? Weekly at support here - Bulls grasping for catalysts, Bears could get greedy eow ... congrats fellas - we were debating $4 D being out of reach just 8 weeks ago
Breaking down 4h ... is USD going north blindly until Trump announces taxes? Bigger picture $1200 may need to be tested again before $1250, $1300, etc.
Funds reduced their gold net-long position, or the difference between bets on a price increase and wagers on a decline, by 10% to 67,982 futures and options contracts in the week ended 14 February, according to US Commodity Futures Trading Commission data released three days later. The wagers are still up about 65% this year.

Some call options vol
EST .. nobody trades from Cali
30m tagged 38 perfectly ... looks like bears want flush for 36/34
USD having a day, contra to SPY ... #fridays
Happing trading
Below $1238.5 at noon I exit
$12.99/$13.03 30 mins to close 4hr candle, if it closes above $1246/50 test is not unreasonable by lunch - may depend on ES open Dow future -48, not much in the way of eco calendar, $1237 support potential bounce area if it turns red. Trump visiting Boeing talk of jobs to be expected may give SPY another boost of confidence.
Good luck all
PA was more impressive than PR imo, but there's no questioning their willingness to interject
$1240 even open ... cute
Waking up above 38.6 is a win
If it can't retain $.55 it's dead cat
Cannabix Technologies Provides Update on Marijuana Breathalyzer Development
The Cannabix Marijuana Breathalyzer is being developed to give law enforcement and employers a tool to enforce public safety as Canada gets set to table marijuana legalization this spring
Vancouver, BC -- February 16, 2017 -- InvestorsHub NewsWire -- Cannabix Technologies Inc. (CSE: BLO) (OTC PINK: BLOZF) (the “Company or Cannabix”) developer of the Cannabix Marijuana Breathalyzer for law enforcement and the workplace, is pleased to provide a development update on its FAIMS Beta 2.0 (field asymmetric waveform ion mobility spectrometry) based marijuana breathalyzer for the detection of 9-tetrahydrocannabinol (“THC”) in human breath. Development in Gainesville, Florida and Vancouver, BC is progressing well and the Company expects to begin pre-trial live subject testing during the month of March.
Since introducing the Beta 2.0 version of the Cannabix Marijuana Breathalyzer in late 2016, Company scientists have been engaged in developmental testing, method development, and continuously improving the design of the device. At the same time, experiments have been done with THC to characterize the individual parts of the instrument and improve the efficiency of human breath collection and sampling.
The Cannabix Marijuana Breathalyzer consists of proprietary components including a generator enabled by the latest chip technology to provide extremely fast high-voltage square wave transitions that significantly improve chemical separations, and a novel plasma ionization source that provides efficient ionization with a relatively small footprint. The Company anticipates completing developmental testing of the Beta 2.0 device within the next month while preparing for preliminary human subject testing.
Various technical leaps have been made with several components over the last 3 months. In particular, the dielectric barrier discharge ionization source (“DBD”) which allows efficient ionization with relatively low voltages, has been significantly optimized in every aspect of the source (sizes, geometries, and materials) leading to significantly smaller instrument footprint. In addition, the high-voltage square wave generator (“HVSW”) which causes ions to oscillate rapidly at a high frequency between the FAIMS electrodes, to create separation from each other, has been drastically improved.
The Company is working with its Vancouver based engineering firm to ruggedize and refine its breath collection component (i.e. the collection tube where users breathe into the breathalyzer). In particular, engineers are testing a very exciting proprietary flow-through heat exchanger technology that stabilizes breath temperature in extreme cold as well as humid temperature settings.
In December, a special Task Force set up by the Government of Canada to review the future regulation of recreational cannabis in Canada, issued a report, where the among other things, emphasised the issue of marijuana impaired driving as a critical issue and presented a host of specific recommendations to provincial Ministers across Canada, including:
Supporting the development of an appropriate roadside drug screening device for detecting THC levels, and invest in these tools;
Determining whether to establish a per se limit as part of a comprehensive approach to cannabis-impaired driving and re-examine per se limits should a reliable correlation between THC levels and impairment be established;
Investing in baseline data collection and ongoing surveillance and evaluation in collaboration with provinces and territories.
The Government of Canada, is expected to table marijuana legalization legislation in the spring. The Company will use key metrics and guidance from Drugs and Driving Committee (DDC), which is an advisory body to the Canadian Department of Justice on issues relating to drug-impaired driving and has been given a mandate to develop reports regarding drugs that are proposed for zero-tolerance and per se legislation, including cannabis.
