"Predict" Experiment

Recommended Posts

Hello Everyone,

 

I have created an account called "Predict" as the counterpart to the "Coin-Flip" experiment that is to be found here

 

http://www.traderslaboratory.com/forums/forex-trading-laboratory/16846-lets-try-experiment.html

 

The parameters for the "Predict" account will be the same as the "Coin-Flip" using:

1. One trade per day, Trade only EURUSD

2. 2% loss and 2% target

3. Account is USD, Leverage 1:50

4. Entry will be after market opens at 09:30 EST

5. Trade will close at 5pm EST same day

 

Except ofcourse the "Predict" account will be based on our selected predictions.

 

I need a few volunteers to provide guidance and predictions for the next day's EURUSD market. Everyone is invited to participate. Please post your predictions by noting

 

Direction, Reason,Entry Preference (if any),

 

Let'e see whether "predicting" or "random guessing" of direction gains more pips after 4 weeks.

 

The first trade will be taken on August 5th, 2013 as the "Predict" entity in the Forex Trading Contest found here

My prediction for EURUSD for Monday is up as daily price is above the two moving averages and the stochRSI is pointing up. I would prefer to enter somewhere between 13140 to 13215ish.

Day 4:

 

Opened Long 09:37 EST @ 1.3363

Closed 17:00 @ 1.3378

 

I stopped tallying the pips as the +-% are found in the contest thread

EURUSD is now forming a double top with swing high of June. There is nothing that says it is going down. I will look and what it does with the double top in the morning. Still leaning up.

Day 5:

 

Opened Long 10:09 EST @ 1.3362

Closed 16:56 EST @1.3339

 

Closed a little before 5pm as it is Friday as I did not want to miss oanda's platform close.

 

It is looking like EURUSD might pullback a little here. Monday might have a little more pullback. I will wait and see what it does Sunday evening.

Day 6:

 

I was thinking Friday that the market would pullback more, but near NY open it appeared that EURUSD had already pulled back overnight and was at a support level, so I went long

 

Opened Long 09:35 EST @ 1.3288

Closed trade 16:55 EST @ 1.3298

 

Thinking more up tomorrow.

Day 7:

 

In the morning I saw that EURUSD had moved down overnight. It is near a support level but does not look ready to move up. My prediction yesterday was for a long. But the market state is facing down. I put in a sell order and waited. After an couple of hours it did not look like the market was going to give me a trade today. And the Coin-flip counterpart is expecting a trade every day for comparison. So seeing that the market was near a support level I took a countertrend trade.

 

Opened Long 11:58 EST @ 1.3245

Closed trade 16:40 EST @ 1.3263

 

I lucked out today. We'll see by morning if EURUSD will keep this slide down or ready to bounce up.

Day 8:

 

EURUSD at NY open looked........sideways. Inside day. Overall on the daily it still looked up, but in a pullback mode. So what to do?

 

Opened Long at 09:40 EST @ 1.3260

Closed trade 17:02 EST @ 1.3253

 

What a day! Were this a real money account I would say stay out. Tomorrow hopefully EURUSD will give a hint of where it wishes to go to next.

Day 9:

 

When I looked at EURUSD early in the morning it looked like it was in sideways consolidation after moving up. So I thought there would be continuation of the upmove and intended to go long at NY open. But right before the open there was this huge down bar with the news. What to do now? I continued with my original plan

 

Open Long 09:43 EST @1.3234

Closed trade 16:55 EST @ 1.3345

 

I have no idea what happened except that I lucked out on that trade. It was a beauty!

 

It is the kind of trade that makes one look brilliant eventhough one had nothing to do with it. LOL

 

It should have a pullback at some point and hopefully allow another long trade tomorrow.

    • Date: 14th February 2025.   Can The NASDAQ Maintain Momentum at Key Resistance Level?     The price of the NASDAQ throughout the week rose more than 3.00% to bring the price back up to the instrument’s resistance level. However, while taking into consideration higher inflation, tariffs and the resistance level, could the index maintain momentum?   US Inflation Rises For a 4th Consecutive Month The US Consumer Price Index, or inflation, rose for a 4th consecutive month taking the rate even further away from the Federal Reserve’s target. Analysts were expecting the US inflation rate to remain unchanged at 2.9%. However, consumer inflation rose to 3.00%, the highest since July 2024, while Producer inflation rose to 3.5%. Higher inflation traditionally triggers lower sentiment towards the stock market as investors' risk appetite falls and they prefer the US Dollar. However, on this occasion bullish volatility rose. For this reason, some traders may be considering if the price is overbought in the short term.   Addressing these statistics, US Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell acknowledged that the Fed has yet to achieve its goal of curbing inflation, adding further hawkish signals regarding the monetary policy. Other members of the FOMC also share this view. Today, Raphael Bostic, President of the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, stated that the Fed is unlikely to implement interest rate cuts in the near future. This is due to ongoing economic uncertainty following the introduction of trade tariffs on imported goods and other policies from the Republican-led White House.   Most of the Federal Open Market Committee emphasizes additional time is needed to fully assess the situation. According to the Chicago Exchange FedWatch Tool, interest rate cuts may not start until September 2025.   What’s Driving The NASDAQ Higher? Earnings data this week has continued to support the NASDAQ. Early this morning Airbnb made public their quarterly earnings report whereby they beat both earnings per share and revenue expectations. The Earnings Per Share read 25% higher than expectations and Revenue was more than 2% higher. As a result, the stock rose more than 14%. Another company this week that made public positive earnings data is Cisco which rose by more than 2% on Thursday. Another positive factor continues to be the positive employment data. Even though the positive employment data can push back interest rate cuts, the stability in the short term continues to serve the interests of higher consumer demand. The US Unemployment Rate fell to 4.00% the lowest in 8 months. Lastly, investors are also increasing their exposure to the index due to sellers not being able to maintain control or momentum. Some economists also increase their confidence in economic growth if Trump can obtain a positive outcome from the Ukraine-Russia negotiations.   However, during Friday’s pre-US session trading, 80% of the most influential stocks are witnessing a decline. The NASDAQ itself is trading more or less unchanged. Therefore, the question again arises as to whether the NASDAQ can maintain momentum above this area.   NASDAQ - News and Technical analysis In terms of technical analysis, the NASDAQ is largely witnessing mainly bullish indications on the 2-hour chart. However, the main concern for traders is the resistance level at $21,960. On the 5-minute timeframe, the price is mainly experiencing bearish signals as the price moves below the 200-period simple moving average.   The VIX, which is largely used as a risk indicator, is currently trading 0.75% higher which indicates a lower risk appetite. In addition to this, bond yields trade 6 points higher. If both the VIX and Bond yields rise further, further pressure may be witnessed for index traders.   Always trade with strict risk management.
