DOW long 12230

 

promise I am not stalking you, but most of your trades seem to be triggered around the main pivot point, with a variance of hardly ever more than 10 points.

(on Dow and SPX mostly; havent checked others)

 

is that a coincidence?

 

(good calls by the way; I am sulking from two bad shorts on FX this morning; total losses amounting to -49.)

I think it probably is, because I've never used nor calculated pivot points... what other numbers do you have for today?

 

On the DOW I have 12230 and 12320, on the ES 1363.

Is everybody still okay with the way things are going here (as per posting live trades that is)?

 

I've noticed that there have been little live trades lately...

 

Just been taking some time out but back around now.

 

Happy to post...

I believe that a Live Trade thread should be just that...

 

Post live trades and perhaps a comment why you have done it.

I think you said thats what the aim was somewhere...

 

Back in T2W you seemed to enforce this much more...Here in fact there are many rooms to post different things in...with many more topics covered...yet on this thread it seems anyone can post anything...

 

If you are not going to post live trades to have your success and failures for all to see/share perhaps change the thread name to .."Trades and chat"

 

If it goes back to trade posting only plus a comment from all the traders I will start posting again..

 

However in good faith here is one from me...

 

a) Short Dax 6824

b) stop 40

c) reason looks very overbought... 12310 Dow strong resistance

Well, the purpose and goal has never changed and THIS is the only thing that should be in this thread is LIVE trades (indices). There are several other threads now to discuss or comment on anything else (The Lounge, Trade Discussion & Analysis, and Off, Yet On Topic).

 

I think most members have pretty much followed those rules, but I'll keep an eye out if there's too much chatter going on. There's nothing wrong with just a small explanation why you entered or exited. Everybody is free to report posts which they feel are inappropriate though, I can't keep an eye on everything at the same time...

 

Good trading.

Going to add a d) to my posts...the last 2 should have had a d) swing trade..that means opened with the expectation that , if not stopped out it might be held overnight and closed tomorrow.. Its done as a "contract" trade in this case June 2008

 

I will also post other trades denoted "short term" that might be in the same or opposite direction.. which although more than scalps (hopefully) will be trades that will be held for a hour or less.. and will have a correspondingly tighter stop... these will have a lower win loss ratio % than the "swing trades" and are executed as "rolling cash" trades

FW..comment "I think most members have pretty much followed those rules, but I'll keep an eye out if there's too much chatter going on. There's nothing wrong with just a small explanation why you entered or exited"

 

Totally agree... nothing wrong with a bit of chat / comment but if you are not going to be posting live trades you should not be posting at all to the "live trades" thread imo.

 

I would be interested on your thoughts on the above..

 

Basically why should I bother posting my trades if others are not going to post their trades / positions..?

Don't understand all this short talk. Dow futures almost static for the last 2 hours - there's massive buying demmand waiting on the sidelines after the noise (sorry 'news').

Opened a small long on the dow fut at 326 and a limit long at 303.

 

Limit to close 400.

Just to add - people aren't hedging against the news - the ftse is at the days high 25 mins before housing AND ppi - they just dont care what the news is...

Well it clearly wouldn't be fair towards those who do contribute, but by first impression most people who post do actually contribute in the live trading aspect. But we'll keep an eye out for any 'infractions' for that matter and everybody is free to let us know if they are issues, but perhaps best to continue the discussion in the other thread "Off, yet On topic".

    • Date: 12th November 2024. Market Buzz: Trump Trade Impact! “Trump trade” has boosted the US Dollar and US stocks, but Trump’s policies may have less favorable effects on global assets. Trump’s plan to raise tariffs is expected to negatively impact economies worldwide, especially exporters like China. Asia & European Sessions:   Bitcoin Surge! Bitcoin broke $90K, driven by Trump trade once again. Bitcoin is up roughly 110% in 2024, helped by robust demand for dedicated US ETFs, interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve and Trump’s cryptofriendly agenda. Crypto market capitalization has exceeded its pandemic-era peak, reaching $3.1 trillion. Traders are betting on Bitcoin reaching $100,000 by year-end, according to data from the Deribit exchange. Open interest — or outstanding contracts — for CME Group Inc. futures for Bitcoin and second-ranked Ether (ETHUSD) scaled records on Monday, a sign of growing engagement by US institutional investors. Asian shares dropped, alongside European and US equity futures, as traders evaluated the implications of President-elect Donald Trump’s policy agenda and potential cabinet choices. The MSCI Asia Pacific Index fell for a third consecutive day, driven by rising Treasury yields amid concerns that Trump’s proposed tax cuts could increase inflation. There are also reports that Trump is considering two individuals for prominent roles in his administration with track records of criticizing China. DAX and FTSE100 are down -1.1% and -0.5% respectively, after a pickup in German HICP inflation and higher than expected UK wage growth dampened easing expectations. Investors await the US CPI report for insights into the Fed’s easing path, as Trump’s inflationary policies may lead to fewer rate cuts. Financial Markets Performance:   The USDIndex continues to rise and is currently at 105.75. It hit a 1-year high. EURUSD drifts to 1.0620 and GBPUSD is in a sell off, currently at 1.2800. Oil prices fell after their biggest 2-week decline, amid a weak demand outlook from China, a stronger US Dollar, and concerns over a potential oversupply. Crude oil has traded within a narrow range since mid-last month, influenced by Middle East tensions, the US election, and OPEC+ output decisions. Gold remains under pressure and is currently at just $2604.36 per ounce. It hit a one-month low, down 5% since Trump’s election victory, as a strong dollar and US equity rotation pressured the metal. Gold’s decline was also technical, breaking below the 50-day moving average, causing funds to cover long positions. Despite recent drops, gold remains up 25% for the year, supported by central bank purchases and geopolitical risks. Always trade with strict risk management.
