Week 24

Recommended Posts

This is how this week's "playing field" looks to me for cable. We have had a protracted drop from the yearly highs and price appears to have finally found some support near the yearly open price and the 50% fib from the move up to 2.01.

 

The weekly chart shows that we are still in a bullish trend-channel on cable, with a possible longer-term target now near the upper trend channel above 2.06. Of course, that isn't likely going to happen anytime soon, but it suggests that where prices recently bottomed near the yearly open price may serve as a lower boundary for another (probably protracted?) leg higher.

The daily chart shows more of the gory details, of course. Note, in particular, how the interesting trend-line I've marked as the "prime" trend has been interacting with price. This trend is formed by plotting from the low of 17 July to 17 November 2006. It has been a very interactive little trend-line ever since. Price seems to like plodding off of it. Perhaps more significantly, it is worth noting that price has never dropped more than 200 pips below that trend line. It has always (since 2006) rebounded back above it relatively quickly.

And finally, the 4-hour chart upon which our working canvas is essentially completed. This chart shows a bull-flag within a bull-flag, with a potential target near or slightly above the 2.0 mark.

 

The weekly pivot and S/R levels are also shown, and are definitely worth watching closely as price works around these levels.

This is NFP week. If the NFP numbers do not line up nicely for the dollar, this bull-flag may bust northward (assuming it can consolidate that long). Otherwise, I expect prices will push right back down into the yearly open zone, where there should be additional support.

 

Good trading to everyone!

Excellent analysis cowpip and glad to see you're still participating! Yes, I agree fully with the assessment. I'll be watching for the bull-flag as well as the channels for the resumption of the major trend. Keep on coming!

hey Cary!

 

price has worked off the longer frame pivots (monthly-weekly) pretty much all year on these bullish ascents & have signalled decent buy alerts in line with the common candle prints.......no real deviation from that during May either, having bounced again off a monthly S1 @ circa 9680 thru an inside 4h bar........

 

if you sling up a 100ma on the daily, your 'prime trend line' guage printed on your graphs won't be too far from that marker either! in fact it's been a keen buy guage marker for approx 15mths now...........

 

first signs (for me) of a change of tack from buying dips will be price failing to gain a shoulder back thru that 100 avg marker........but then your 4hr will have offered one or two clues by then I shouldn't wonder!

 

nice charts, & good to hear you're taking positive advantage of your analysis ;)

That's probably the better indicator (the 100 ma), huh? I'll be watching that one closely over this next week. Prices broke the upper-bull-flag channel last night, failed to take out the high and dropped through the lower bull-flag boundary on my charts. So it would appear we're on-track to re-test that 100ma line around 9700?

 

A double-bounce off that level would provide more confirmation for the bulls to shove this through 2.0. Besides, the dollar data this week (and last week) doesn't seem to favour the bears a whole lot. At least now, I have a technical reason to short. Prior to the bull-flag break, I favored longs. Now, it would appear the ball is more in the bear camp.

 

Thanks for your comments, Buk and Torero. I appreciate it.

    • Originally Answered: How can I compete with people who are better than me in every way?   So you want to outcompete people who are smarter, better looking and more experienced than you?   No problem!   All you have to do is outwork them.   Will Smith said, "if we both get on a treadmill either you're going to get off first or I'm going to die trying."     Most people just aren't willing to work that hard. Sure, they'll show up for the job interview and maybe practice in front of the mirror for a few minutes, but they won't do hours and hours of research and prepare for weeks. They won't wake up early and stay up late working on their dreams.   So while all those smart, good-looking, experienced people are waiting around for the next opportunity to come their way, you can outwork them and create your own opportunities.   In a few years, you'll be that "smart" person everyone looks up to. But you'll be different.

    • @sxiqxx, Well done on making your first post a promising strategy. @everyone, post up if you want this coded into an EA. Although I switched to TradeStation, I still have an active MT5 demo with MetaEditor. I can code it without referencing object oriented programming which should be retroactively compatible with MT4. Let me know...
    • Please allow me to retort (in jest): RESPONSE 1 : Get a job supervising others where you're in control of performance reports and ride those others 100%. This makes your performance 100% with little to no effort.   RESPONSE 2: Feel free to piss off your boss but stay nonviolent. When the side effects of his viagra and testosterone boosters cause him to physically assault you, you have the legal upper hand. This can result in a boatload of trading capital.   RESPONSE 3: Feel free to have intimate relations with your boss if she finds you attractive. Rest assured that mum's the word because once again, you have the legal upper hand. This can also result in a boatload of trading capital.   RESPONSE 4: Don't be fake friends with any enemies... unless you need information from them. Being fake friends with everyone will cause you to become an empty shell of a person with no direction in life.   REPONSE 5: Get your boss to become reliant on your performance (really, just the performance of your subordinates), and then plan an "overheard" conversation wherein you fake an interview with another potential employer. You'll probably get a pay increase or a promotion.   RESPONSE 6: If you can give your 75% percent to a project, give 50% and rely on your legal upper hand(s). Learn to write trading algo's during your other 50%.   RESPONSE 7: Take all of the office boys out to nightclub where you merely sip soft drinks on a weeknight. Upon your return to the office in the morning, inform the security guards that all of the office boys are intoxicated. Your boss will love you for it.   RESPONSE 8: Never try to prove your client wrong or find faults in their processes, but do secretly collect their information in case you jump ship or "someone you know" decides to start his own company.   RESPONSE 9: Never stay in a firm for too long. Instead, use your ill-gotten capital to exit the rat-race and start trading.   RESPONSE 10: Trading pays more than your career. Interpersonal skills are now irrelevant. Use your technical skills for trading. Never stop learning and keep updating your technical skills.😁
    • There are a lot of trading strategies like elliot waves, wyckoff etc so we need to apply those who best suited to our need and are understandable too.
    • Scalping can be good during the high volatile markets however the new traders should be careful while entering and exiting the markets too quickly since they can make losses as well. If the broker support news trading we can make most out of the scalping in my opinion.
