I'm having problems trading off the 1min because I used to put my stop 10 points behind the entry, now I need 20-25... 5 minutes is a long wait ;)

 

Yes 5 minutes is an eternity and 20 pip spike outs are common off s/r levels...

10 pips is suicidal...

what's your next potential R on the NQ? I have 1710... but it's having a lot of trouble overcoming 1700. If we can't get past here, the YM/ES can start selling and your short might still come good

still a lot of supply present there by the looks of it!

normally I would short here, but the NQ seems to be leading the way and is very strong

 

11130 would have been entry but this made a higher high....interesting, cannot seem to read it very well. Either too late or too early, mght have to wait until post lunch for myself and markets to sync up...

switch level is at 1710 dude....which coincides with my 11175 to 11200 R zone...kinda...

Look at ES perfect DT at YM's equivalent of R 1222. YM decides to make a HH instead:( but maybe just a spike out and close below R. Doubts creeping in whether we can hold 11k now...

11050 short would be the obvious pullback level for entry.

Then await breakout and pullback again for continuation...

It could go both ways, but with that reaction on support premarket, that's the third time it does not want to go lower. This increased the odds of breaking higher imo... but we'll have to wait and see (after dinner)!

Unless someone in the US says something that makes sense (unlikely), the Dow's going to be back at 10,700, even if we get a bit of a retrace first.

 

something that doesn't make sense seems to work too :o

 

I didn't expect it to fall back so quickly in all honesty...

hi guys, there's not been a whole lot of participation lately (I'm not pointing the finger at anyone), but there is interest from a bunch of other guys who would like to participate in either posting live trades or commenting on charts and helping us figure out what the market is going to do next!

 

Unfortunately, right now, these guys can't access our threads because we are only visible for premium members. When we first got here, Soultrader was so kind to provide us with this incentive, but I think we must admit that we are coming up to a point where there is no need to keep things behind closed doors. There are no trolls around here, and those who aren't interest don't participate.

 

So, unless there are serious objections, I suggest we move everything over to the public area and see how things go. To be honest, I don't suspect much change, I just think we would all benefit from having others contribute as well. Over the course of the last few weeks several members have complained about being alone here. That would no longer be the case then :)

 

Wasp & myself are 200% behind the idea. I hope the rest is too!

 

Thanks to all those who have been loyally contributing in the past, and we

hope you continue to do so in the future.

Good idea, FW. I'd virtually given up posting trades recently, partly because there didn't seem to be anyone else around.

 

Yeah I hear you... I've spent some time in the chatroom too and there is usually more animo there. Some guys have expressed their interest in this forum though, so let's hope we can step up the action a bit :)

    • Date: 25th November 2024. New Secretary Cheers Markets; Trump Trade Eased. Asia & European Sessions:   Equities and Treasuries rise, as markets view Donald Trump’s choice of Scott Bessent for Treasury Secretary as a stabilizing decision for the US economy and markets. Bessent: Head of macro hedge fund Key Square Group, supports Trump’s tax and tariff policies but gradually. He is expected to focus on economic and market stability rather than political gains. His nomination alleviates concerns over protectionist policies that could escalate inflation, trade tensions, and market volatility. Asian stocks rose, driven by gains in Japan, South Korea, and Australia. Chinese equities fail to follow regional trends, presenting investors’ continued disappointment by the lack of strong fiscal measures to boost the economy. The PBOC keeps policy loan rates unchanged after the September cut. US futures also see slight increases. 10-year Treasury yields fall by 5 basis points to 4.35%. Nvidia dropped 3.2%, affected by its high valuation and influence on broader market trends. Intuit fell 5.7% after a disappointing earnings forecast. Meta Platforms declined 0.7% following the Supreme Court’s decision to allow a class action lawsuit over the Cambridge Analytica scandal. Key events this week: Japan’s CPI, as the BOJ signals a possible policy change at December’s meeting. RBNZ expected to cut its key rate on Wednesday. CPI & GDP from Europe will be released. Traders will focus on the Fed’s November meeting minutes, along with consumer confidence and personal consumption expenditure data, to assess potential rate cuts next year. Financial Markets Performance: The US Dollar declines as US Treasuries climb. Bitcoin recovers from a weekend drop, hovering around 98,000, having more than doubled in value this year. Analysts suggest consolidation around the 100,000 level before any potential breakthrough. EURUSD recovers slightly to 1.0463 from 1.0320 lows. Oil prices drop after the largest weekly increase in nearly two months, with ongoing geopolitical risks in Ukraine and the Middle East. UKOIL fell below $75 a barrel, while USOILis at $70.35. Iran announced plans to boost its nuclear fuel-making capacity after being censured by the UN, increasing the potential for sanctions under Trump’s administration. Israel’s ambassador to the US indicated a potential cease-fire deal with Hezbollah, which could ease concerns about Middle Eastern oil production, a region supplying about a third of the world’s oil. Russia’s war in Ukraine escalated with longer-range missile use, raising concerns about potential disruptions to crude flows. Citigroup and JPMorgan predict that OPEC may delay a planned increase in production for the third time during their meeting this weekend. Gold falls to $2667.45 after its largest rise in 20 months last week.Swaps traders see a less-than-even chance the central bank will cut rates next month. Higher borrowing costs tend to weigh on gold, as it doesn’t pay interest. Always trade with strict risk management. Your capital is the single most important aspect of your trading business.
