7/30/07 General Trade Log / Idea Sharing

Recommended Posts

Well, it seems like there's some interest in a daily thread to discuss setups, ideas, etc. based on this thread - http://www.traderslaboratory.com/forums/f17/trading-room-2116.html

 

So, here's a thread for Monday, July 30th. Someone will just need to start the thread each day and we'll build it from there.

 

If you have some analysis to share for Monday, feel free to! Or post during the day on Monday as time permits!

 

Good trading everyone!

ES price action still lively to say the least.

 

So far, I've got 8 trades, 4 winners, 4 losers. Up +1.12 net thus far. One frustrating loss on a long at 68.5 that was ticked out and is now proceeding higher. I hate ones like that! :mad:

 

This is good stuff though if you like instant gratification - either you are right or wrong and you will find out pretty quickly.

 

One observation - check your ES dom. Earlier today the actual depth that was shown on the dom was pretty light in my opinion (less than 1000 at each level). It was very erratic during this time. Now there's some more volume present at each level.

Anyone know if there's a way to set this thread to auto-refresh in your browser window? If we can get this active, I'd love to just have Firefox refresh this on it's own vs. me doing it.

 

Any ideas either through TL and/or Firefox?

Short @ 71.5 on the ES. Now just waiting to see if this consolidation area busts up or down. Keeps going back and forth.

 

Got a good break to the downside here. Price at 65.5 and I'll be looking to remain short if the bears can keep the pressure on. May look for a buy if not.

gc - how did you miss the 2 entries? Just curious as I miss them too and wish I would not!!

 

Hesitation and being too cheap are my primary reasons. I generally get in on pullbacks, so I often wait too long for confirmation and miss the good price, then I hesitate. I've pretty much eliminated the chasing that case occur, but its hard to know when your are chasing and when you are just not being too cheap.

Hopefully it's available via James, as for instance, when you check the "Who's Online" feature, that page updates every minute or so. So maybe he could extend that feature to this forum.

No edit button on this sub forum for some reason. :sad: My last sentence should read: I've pretty much eliminated the overt chasing that can occur, but it's hard to know when your are chasing and when you are just being too cheap.

Interesting. I've never viewed it as being 'too cheap'. That's an interesting comment. I guess I view each trade as the same 'cost' so I just take 'em when I see 'em (most of the time). ;)

If you have Firefox and the Tab Mix Plus extension installed, you should have to capability to auto-refresh any page at any interval yourself.

I use limit orders for entries, so sometimes it doesn't hit my order.

 

There's a flexibility I need to develop which is somewhere between being too strict about my entry and chasing.

 

As for trades. One stopout and now looking for break of support to new lows. ;)

Price has gotten really funky for me late morning. I'm sitting tight with my profits right now. I'm at what is my daily goal and don't feel like risking it in a choppy ass market.

 

And before you get on me about the daily goal.... ;) .... I do keep a target in mind for what I want to achieve each day. If I get to it early on, then I know I've got a great chance to make more money cause I have a nice cookie jar at my disposal. If the money's there for the taking, I say take it!

Back on this short train at 65.00. We'll see if the bears can take this down or not. Looks like volatility is drying up a tad as everyone takes a little breather here. Bulls sure are trying though - large upper shadows/wicks on the 3 minute.

    • Date: 18th November 2024. Monday Market Analysis and the Week Ahead! The NASDAQ inches up ahead of NVIDIA’s upcoming earnings report. NVIDIA will release their earnings report on Wednesday. Analysts expect NVIDIA’s Earnings Per Share to rise from $0.68 to $0.74 and Revenue to rise by $3 billion. The US Dollar remains strong as investors contemplate whether the Federal Reserve will pause in December. The Fed Chairman advises the US economy remains strong and the employment sector stable. The GBP was the best-performing currency in the Asian session, but will this continue as London starts trading? NASDAQ – Investors Turn Their Attention To NVIDIA Earnings! The NASDAQ fell for 5 consecutive days last week due to the US consumer and producer inflation striking fear amongst investors. The US inflation rate rose from 2.4% to 2.6% and the producer inflation from 1.9% to 2.4%. In addition to this the Federal Reserve advises the US economy remains strong and the employment sector stable. As a result, only 65% of investors expect the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates in December, particularly lower than the previous weeks. Though, certain key events could prompt higher demand and investors to contemplate buying the NASDAQ at the lower price. The higher demand is also in line with what many price theories would suggest. The NASDAQ’s average resistance point from October is at $20,511.29. The price has now dropped below this level and many price theories indicate that a retracement will end around this price. However, analysts would also urge investors to consider what else will drive investors to buy, not solely the price. For this reason, investors will be closely watching NVIDIA’s Quarterly Earnings Report on Wednesday. NVIDIA is the NASDAQ’s most influential stock holding a weight of 8.69% and is already up 0.52% in pre-hours trading. The market expects NVIDIA’s Earnings Per Share to rise from $0.68 to $0.74 and Revenue to rise by $3 billion. If the company beats these expectations, the stock is likely to rise and can support the NASDAQ. On Monday, investors will keep this in mind while trading. Besides the upcoming earnings report investors are also monitoring the volatility in the Bond Market and the VIX Index. Bond yields continue to rise which is a concern for the stock market. The US 10 Year Treasury is up 14 points, however, the VIX index is 1.45% lower which is known to be positive. Buyers will be hoping for the VIX to remain low and for bond yields to drop. Whereas, sellers will be hoping for bond yields to rise further and the VIX to correct back upwards. GBPUSD – Will The Cable Retrace After A Seven-Day Decline? The GBPUSD has declined for seven consecutive days which is a price movement which has not happened before in 2024. In addition to this, the exchange rate has fallen back to the support level from June and August 2024. Therefore investors are considering whether the GBPUSD will retrace slightly higher on Monday. A retracement in the short term could potentially take the price to the resistance level at 1.26810 or 1.27190. A retracement is possible according to analysts as the GBP is the best performing currency of the day and due to the low price. In addition to this, the US Dollar is not expected to be influenced by any economic releases until Friday, when the US as well as the UK will release their Purchasing Managers’ Index, whereas the UK will release the Monetary Policy Report tomorrow morning and their Retail Sales within the week. In terms of potential areas to consider speculating a buy, some traders may take into consideration the breakout level at 1.26270 or once 65% of the previous swing has been made. This would be at the 1.26314 price. Always trade with strict risk management. Your capital is the single most important aspect of your trading business.
