That was quite an upward spike, FW!

 

I wanted to short 440 from the beginning, but I was typing a post here (other thread) while we went up there. The spike was on ISM news... often good for a reversal entry imo.

out -15

 

Bloody hell firewalker,

 

What are you doing, I watched this one since I read your PM, your head is somewhere else today, you're not trading as usual.

 

That should have been a scratch at worst.

ehm... thanks, I think :)

seriously, it's good that a neutral observer tells me this! often they are better at spotting these things than I am myself

 

However, in this particular case, I think I just put my stop 5 points too close because I wanted to "go" for a an early entry(*). I'm still convinced that shorting 440-450 is the right thing to do though...

 

(*) reason being I have to leave in 20 minutes :roll eyes: which probably explains the haste in taking an entry I otherwise would've waited a bit longer for

Guess you were absolutely right... Glad I only lost 15 points on that.

That's me done for today!

Hey,

i apologise now as i haven't posted these live (been dealing with people moaning in the the office...)

 

Long from 1379.25, just as i'm typing, exit trager reached at 1385.25

 

The trade setup is what i call and pass through edge trade. Yesterday in I period of the profile we broke down forming new value in the market with a value high of 1381.25 and a value low of 1377.25 with the POC at 1379.25.

 

Market opened below value, traded up, but traded straight through the value area low, the poc and hit resistence at the value area high, traded back down to the POC being 1379.25, which was bought.

 

That people is my pass through setup, which i have found to be an extremely strong setup when they happen. Also the added benefit is, when you trade a retest of a POC and it fails, the POC faliure tends to set up and pass through setup, meaning you claim back your loss from the failed retest, plus the profits of the trade.

 

As for the exit of 1385.25 - The value area was 4 handels. 1381.25 plus 4 handels = 1385.25 - It's a measured move.

 

Total profit for the trade - +6 pts on ES

 

For some reason it won't let me share my charts, so i'll post a screen shot when i get time. Back to ungrateful clients for me :roll eyes:

Just another quicky on measure moves. Market never really makes more than three moves, normally get a reversal after two moves. So after 1385.25 look to see how the market reacts to 1389.25 area and 1393.25 area.

 

Kev.

Just another quicky :)

 

1389.25 is also the POC of the first value area of yesterday A through to H period. High probability trade to short off. Got my order sat waiting.

Like many on here I only chatted to other on FW's little closed community thread on T2W and did not venture out into the big world of Public T2W threads... so got a few new people to get to know..now that we are all together on TL...

 

Cheers

David

missed my order by one tick, but its nice to see the value area of yesterday A-H with the poc around 1389 held nicely for a short. The exit target of 1382 has just been reached for round 6 - 7 pts profit on ES

 

Shame i didn't get filled, but at least i was right :)

The markets continue to assess the election results as President-elect Trump fills in his cabinet choices, with the key Treasury Secretary spot still open. The Fed’s rate path continues to be debated with a -25 bp December cut seen as 50-50. Earnings season is coming to an end after mixed reports, though AI remains a major driver.

Asian stocks rose after  Nvidia’s rally. Nikkei added 1% to 38,415.32 after the Tokyo inflation data slowed to 2.3% in October from 2.5% in the prior month, reaching its lowest level since January. The rally was also supported by chip-related stocks tracked Nvidia. Overnight-indexed swaps indicate that it’s certain the Reserve Bank of New Zealand will cut its policy rate by 50 basis points on Nov. 27, with a 22% chance of a 75 basis points reduction.

Cryptocurrency market has gained approximately $1 trillion since Trump’s victory in the Nov. 5 election. Recent announcement for the SEC boosted cryptos. Chair Gary Gensler will step down on January 20, the day Trump is set to be inaugurated. Gensler has pushed for more protections for crypto investors. MicroStrategy Inc.’s plans to accelerate purchases of the token, and the debut of options on US Bitcoin ETFs also support this rally.
