Significant Intraday VWAP Dislocation

One wonders what Linear Algebra and its Applications would have to say about this.

and crude's contango is getting wider again (pullback time anyone? anyone? bueller?? buuueeeller??)

These non-confirmations could mean that the sell dollars and buy anything trade is exhausting for now.

agreed that is what we could be looking at... and dollar-strength is going to lead toward suppressing commodity prices in the short-run and re-focus attention on potentials of deflation in the medium-run.

 

alas... trade in the short-run, invest in the medium-run and think in the long-run!

In regards to the chart above:

So we need to keep going up cause the VWAP is too low and needs to corrrect UP to price, right? LOL

Unless you are scalping the dollar has been pretty much flatlined all day esp vs the continental currencies (GBP, EUR, CHF).  The yen has been moving with equities and there is some reduced risk appetite in the commodity currencies (AUD, CAD, NZD).  CAD is moving with crude.

Boring day in FX.

Very boring on the USD.  Playing against the CAD/JPY here to try to exaggerate a move back into risk aversion.  Plus I think it was pushed up too high on a 'breakout.'

Nope.  Everything is better than expected.  Buy the dip before they turn up the robots.

See, the problem with "hard mathy" references like the linear algebra ones is that they deal with actual numbers, rather than "subjective interpretation of error-prone numerical data in the presence of limited sample set size". Your ARA text is more in the latter vein, though still sounds somewhat dauntingly rigorous. You really need some thing more in vein of "Statistics for Business Majors", which is of course the B-school analog of "Physics without calculus".

If I were to contemplate writing a hard-math paper on recent market dynamics, it would probably have a title along the lines of "Behavior of nonlinear systems near unstable equilibria in the presence of strong forcing", or for the non-calculus crowd, "what happens when the gramophone needle breaks, the speakers blow and the free coke and crystal meth run out."

My algebra teacher warned me of this exact situation.

Yeah, those of us not used to looking at Bberg terminals would appreciate some insight on just WTF this means.  Maybe a sticky post in the forums?
