Yep... this is a fulcrum point here..looking 85.25 ..that is the area I should have waited for muchbetter location... Helmet on..
-
Got head faked on the 87.50 still with it..have order resting at 85.25 to average down...I don't recommend this to anyone.. And am holding .. if we start up here then HOd is possible plus 92.00 ish... 94.00 a reach imho Dunno:confused:
-
Took long 87.50..on short leash targeting 89.00 scale then upside.....might dump & reposition lower if it doesn't hold here towards 85ish..
-
I am looking @ the moment based on how it behaves to Buy around 85.25 ish or Sell 91.00 - 92.00 .. Of course they are just numbers not sure if any of them matter.. or if the setup will be there when/if we get there..
-
I'd like to see test of 92.00 to clean out the stops + we have GBX DbleDist around 93.00and test the bottom of the 1-2-3. But ... I hope to either see it rotate down first or they take it up & clean house & then I'd short... this is nomans land to me ... you aggressive guys could scalp these rotations but it is diddling in the middle... 85 - 86 ish downside for paper or upside first... either way you can look where the stops are on both sides as the target for your rotations... then either exit/scale or initiate a positon going the other way if that is your view... Of course the structure is dynamic so anything goes... when we get there. Just FYI: 85.25 is a little low vol notch..not sure if it is relevant but ...
-
For the moment I think we are done with the downside other than some possible rotation... we have that low @ 91.75 nearby & some GBX singles and DbleDist...not sure how relevant but I do note them on chart... If we go Neutral then I will be looking to trade outside in... not my favorite but .. got to work with what the market offers - right
-
I think you did good... YOu know what I am looking for... but of course your timeframe is different than mine - so you did good... IMHO... We got Bernanke coming up to @ 11:45cst.. BTW, that was a reasonable spot for a short 88.00
-
CYP: Nicely Done...
-
I think they are in reach but I'd like to see some downside rotation to get some more late shorts in but structure is friendly to upside right now for those stops...
-
I would really like to see some more rotation down for a play on the longside potential 90.75 ish as discussed.. I don't like breakouts - too much risk for me..I like rotations... just me... :missy:
-
I think I was the only one upside down yeasterday for the reasons already articulated.. We are going to tewst this low... I "might" look for a long those stops are the fuel imho...but I do not like being a pioneer - "arrows in your back.." 84.00 key for long side... might not even get ther...
-
You got stops 88.00 - 89.25 area... YOu got the mid & VWAP as N points out... Personally don't thinik that is a good short ..personally I want to see the stops get taken first but ACH.. (Josh: I'm going to leave ACH to you... ) Apologize if anyone took short there...
-
Well hindsight being what it is...86.00 would be my tarhet for a long.. -clueless... reason IBL which is where OTF tipped it... I am watching since other than rotations I "suspect" the low might be in but as Josh says ACH
-
It will be interesting to see if a double distribution develops here..it might set up a rotational scalping opportunity in the direction of the RE..not what I do - requires too much focus and this range is not large enough for the risk - just me..
-
BTW: As far as going long, I don't know if any of you did but CLVN @ 83.00 which has shifted to 82.50 "might" be it for the downside - since all the easy paper has been cleared out IMHO... and the range is pretty strung out... I am not advocating a long here - just if I had the stones I'd look at it...but my style is to let someone else go in first and then after it proves itself go for a continuation trade.. Not saying this is the bottom of course...I am clueless...
-
Nice work CYP & Josh...
-
COming up for air...Shorted 90.00 after 3 unsuccessful attempts for small losses...covered 3/4 85.50 just before CHVN @ 85.00 holding rest for potential 83.50... CLVN 83.00 Need ambulance...
-
I "guess" 91.00 wasn't a bad number after all... :crap: Just warming up... my brain... now ifr it will only work in realtime...
-
Agree..I like to be able to leave it and come back when I'm in a positiona nd just monitoring or when stalking to focus away from it..I just hate typing - I'm a huntin - Pecker..I wonder if dictation software would work for this like Dragon or somehting?
-
I have 91.00 @ 7:54 as a potential short which I AM NOT Taking.. just some alignment.. just FYI... :missy:
-
what could we use them for?
-
N: You never replied to what you were referring to about these... I am not familiar with them. What do they do? Tx
-
This is my post from yesterday morning based on my chart read... :doh:
-
Thanks N.those are very kind & encouraging words..One of the things I find I have trouble with is trading just for short targets...I try to wait for key tests and rotations.. I do have a good eye for the rotations as you said - yet I typically don't trade them except to position with what I perceive is the trend or potential emerging trend. I thought yeasterday would be a Neutral Day or would break to the downside.. It didn't go Neutral & didn't break until the cash close and then it wasn't the "break." I am not sure what conclusion to draw re my analysis... only I could not capitalize on it and also since it only mattered in that timeframe as I have posted. There are some things I am really skilled at the rotations and the longer view.. I read the market well.. the other stuff, well a work in progress... I called the structure a 1-2-3 top yesterday...it was... now the trick for us is to grab the tiger by the tail... without getting bit..
-
I had projected 84ish based on what I saw in the Archaic bar charts... that was why my trading brain was planted in a dark place yesterday... The chart WAS speaking to me but it was not the right thing to be listeneing to within the context of my tradable timeframe.... At least now there is some rationale for my behavior/conflict yesterday..it was very unusual for me to go through that but I suspect some subconscious holdover from my position trading days was active in my reptilian brain..:doh: Either way the analysis is great to see come to fruition..
