I cannot tell your entry and exits on the chart..you state such and such but i don't see where you identify them. Could you indicate at what point you actually make your entry and at the same time indicate where your stoploss and PT will be at so we can see it unfold. I can't tell if your entries and exits are in the middle or at right edge of chart. Too many lines for my pea brain..

come one....look at the posts...each post sounds like this

 

"GOING LONG HERE (this means at the market!), then I give the value, FOR this TP (take profit) and this SL"..........so you have all the information needed.

 

as for the charts that come to explain, like the one in euraud, it was a nice rising wedge and just respecting the rules of a wedge, in terms of proportions, this trade was made.....I even explained that at the moment I uploaded the picture......

 

all the elements you are asking for are already published......read posts more carefuly please........

 

btw....I should give you a beer since you're the first to answer to this thread......the other are just watching I guess??

So you are saying you post the chart after the trade is done...roundtrip..? And when you enter it is at the time of your post that states the entry price..tp and sl? If all this is correct then could you not indicate on the chart afterwards where you entered and exited and put prices and time scale scale on the chart.. When i look at your chart i have no idea when you entered and when you exited (except your post stating that) but nothing visual..at least for me...but i can be denser than a knot on a log..so for us slow traders...could you....make some modifications? .

 

See my attached file for some sort of example as to what i am referring. I made this call via a post BEFORE THE PRICE ACTION TOOK PLACE like you do (if i understand correctly) but then afterwards show the chart indicating clearly the entry and the exit for others to see. And it has price scale and time scale for anyone to look it over...

 

I'll take that beer but it has to be very cold...don't send any to capt bob as we don't want any interference with his gold trading..:rofl:

 

I could have superimposed capt bobs charts for him but he never sent them to me..i guess he figured i was too old and fossilized for such tricks..but i use an IPAD which makes it quite elementary for such endeavours. I trade off a laptop (windows) using my IPad as a hot spot for the net so i may be old but i am riding the technology wave and can do the super imposing on either machine.....

 

Its charts i can't figure out....people must be very clear on their charts or they leave me behind an i begin to feel old and useless....

Hi TW

I told wmck (we must cut kosts) to ignore your method. Just copy the BUY/SELL trades.

bobc

Trade nr. 1 - Going LONG gbpusd here in 1.5582 sl 1.5400 tp 1.5944

 

as you can see from the chart attached, I am actually looking at a double three running for this pair, and, funny enough, it is the same pattern on the eurusd as well.....entering now as this week we will most likely break the current summer trading range with ECB, BOE and NFP on tap

 

first trade of September here.......comments are welcome, as usual...good luck everybody

Yes, it is more of a setup than a pattern....it implies two corrections and an intervening x wave and usually it is appearing before a strong move in the opposite direction....this case, price should aggresively move higher.....fundamental reason usually don't matter when such a pattern appears

Trade nr. 3 Going SHORT usdjpy here at 99.53 sl 101.60 tp 92

 

time to see some movements and even if this may be a bit early (the entry) and the risk quite bit when consider the upcoming NFP, it is worth the chance as the pattern looks good

the chart below shows the reasoning for the previous trade on the audnzd cross....now, the technicals favor a move into the 38.2% retracement area at least as this is typical for forth waves and as you can see here this comes after a double three running.......this is the move/pattern I am looking for on the eurusd and gbpusd as well, hence the longs.

 

captain bob, look at the chart please

 

1.19 target or else

    • Date: 11th March 2025.   Recession Fears Grow as Market Sell-Off Deepens.   Recession fears escalated following weekend comments from President Donald Trump, who described the US as being in a "period of transition" when questioned about economic risks. Concerns over tariffs and their global economic impact have heightened uncertainty and weakened investor confidence. A JPMorgan model recently indicated a 31% market-implied probability of a US recession, while a similar Goldman Sachs model suggests rising recession risks. Meanwhile, disappointing earnings guidance from major firms, including big tech companies, has fueled a bearish market outlook. Broader market fears are compounding the downturn. Investors remain wary of economic recession signals, exacerbated by trade uncertainties and shifting fiscal policies. The S&P 500 has erased its post-election gains, and speculative assets—including crypto-linked stocks and ETFs—are facing aggressive sell-offs. Stock Market Plunge: Major Indexes in the Red The NASDAQ tumbled -4.0%, while the S&P 500 dropped -2.70%, and the Dow Jones declined -2.08%, pushing major indexes into negative territory for the year. Global equities also suffered sharp declines.   Amid this turmoil, Treasury yields fell as investors sought safe-haven assets, reinforcing expectations of Federal Reserve rate cuts in June. The 2-year yield dropped -11.6 bps to 3.883%, while the 10-year yield slipped -8.5 bps to 4.218%. The US Dollar Index (DXY) firmed slightly to 103.926, recovering from its session low of 103.559, the weakest level since November.     Commodities Struggle Amid Market Volatility Despite Wall Street’s sell-off, gold remained flat at $2,888 per ounce, failing to gain traction as a safe-haven asset. Oil prices also dipped by -0.26% to $65.86 per barrel, reflecting broader economic concerns. Oil tracked equity markets and risk assets amid concerns that tariffs and other measures could stunt growth in the world’s largest economy. Oil has fallen nearly 20% from its mid-January high as Trump’s tariff hikes and push to cut federal spending darken the economic outlook for the largest oil producer and consumer. Other bearish factors include OPEC+ plans to increase supply and weakening demand in China, where refiners are being urged to shift away from producing key fuels like diesel and gasoline. US Energy Secretary Chris Wright provided some bullish sentiment, stating that the Trump administration is prepared to enforce US sanctions on Iranian oil production. He made the remarks at the CERAWeek by S&P Global conference in Houston on Monday. Executives from major oil producers—including Chevron Corp., Shell Plc, and Saudi Aramco—expressed strong support for Trump’s energy dominance agenda at the gathering. Vitol Group CEO Russell Hardy projected oil prices to range between $60 and $80 per barrel over the next few years.   Key US Economic Data Releases This Week Investors are bracing for significant economic data, including the Consumer Price Index (CPI), Producer Price Index (PPI), and the Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey (JOLTS) report. While the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) remains focused on inflation, Tuesday’s JOLTS report could drive market reactions amid heightened recession concerns. In December, job openings declined -556K to 7.6 million, near the lowest level since January 2021. The opening rate has also fallen to 4.5%, down from 5.3% a year ago. Meanwhile, the quit rate—a key measure of labour market confidence—held at 2.0%, compared to 3.0% at its peak. Federal Reserve Rate Cut Expectations Shift Fed funds futures indicate expectations for three quarter-point rate cuts in 2025, as economic slowdown concerns overshadow inflation fears. The futures market now anticipates the first rate cut in June, with the implied rate reflecting -30 bps in cuts. September pricing suggests -59 bps, while December signals -78 bps in total easing. However, the Fed remains in its blackout period ahead of its March 18-19 meeting. Tech Stocks Hit Hard as Nasdaq 100 Falls 3.8% The Nasdaq 100 suffered its worst single-day decline since October 2022, falling -3.8%. At intraday lows, the index was down -4.7%, erasing more than $1 trillion in market value. Key factors driving the sell-off include tariff-related uncertainty, declining confidence in AI spending, and disappointing inflation and labour data. The so-called "Magnificent 7" tech stocks, which led the recent bull market, experienced steep losses. Among the biggest losers were: Tesla (-15.4%) – its worst day since September 2020 amid falling sales and concerns over CEO Elon Musk’s focus on the company. MicroStrategy (-16.7%) AppLovin (-12%) Palantir (-10.1%) Atlassian (-9.6%) Broader Market Impact: Treasury Yields Drop as Safe-Haven Demand Rises As recession fears mount, Treasury yields fell, with the 10-year yield hitting its lowest level this year. This decline reflects investors' growing preference for safer assets. On the risk-asset front, Bitcoin plummeted to nearly $77,000, marking its lowest level since November, as investors moved away from speculative assets amid economic uncertainty. Cryptocurrency-related exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have been hit hard. Among the biggest losers were two leveraged ETFs tied to Bitcoin-holding firm MicroStrategy, both of which dropped over 30% in a single day. Additionally, an ETF doubling the daily returns of Robinhood Markets Inc.—a favoured brokerage among crypto traders—plummeted 40%. Leveraged Bitcoin funds fell approximately 20%, while those focused on Ethereum declined 26% amid the broader digital asset selloff. The downturn highlights growing uncertainty in the crypto market, particularly as speculation surrounding regulatory policies and economic conditions intensifies. Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies initially surged post-election, driven by optimism over potential policy shifts.   With key economic reports and the Fed meeting approaching, markets remain on edge. Recession fears, tech sell-offs, and shifting rate-cut expectations continue to drive volatility. Investors will closely watch upcoming data releases to gauge economic resilience and potential Federal Reserve actions in the coming months. Always trade with strict risk management.
