Trade Discussion and Analysis

Recommended Posts

What we've seen in the last couple of days is a little bit on the unusual side, Wasp. Is it possible you will be over-complicating your proven strat solely due to unusual circumstances? Or are you looking for an addition/confirmer solely for these times of unusual circumstances?

 

Look at the att chart on a smaller TF. You can see that S/R on those did not got broken thus, negating the longs. The problem with the 240m chart is one pip too high or low with the S/R and you are screwed, and every time, it landed the wrong side.

 

240m stays paramount but I will not be taking positions based on 240m alone, I will want to see the ST S/R broken too.

 

I need to look into it more but it would stop these problems. Hopefully.

PS: Maybe just switching to the daily frames when the daily range exceeds a certain level would suffice?

 

Ironically, I switched from dailies to 240m because of the range bound conditions!

 

The dailies made this obvious as I posted at the weekend but trade the 240m plan regardless!

was anyone expecting that 200 pip 30min drop?!

 

Right. I am off to nurse my wounds as this has been the shittiest week of the summer for me and the best movement to rub further salt in the wound :frustrated:

 

its probably no consolation whatsoever, but even us indicator-freaks are getting nowhere fast.

I am actually switching to paper-trading until next week. (the very day GBPUSD sells off mega)

 

dont take it personally, but its a peculiar form of satisfaction that even you SupRes guys dont have it easy.

I would expect some pushing and pulling around, then perhaps a retracement back to 208'ish before eventually reaching 204-205.

 

Price sure is moving fast... 204 is already here. Still no long signal in my book, but this was the target level for shorts. A push slightly through 204 with a fast comeback high would signal a long.

The HMA's would have been beautiful this week!

 

Its annoying for everyone I think, partly due to everyone so used to trading a range only to get hit by a trend we all dream of yet always miss out on!

 

Great day for the trenders though!

 

On Sunday I posted a daily chart expecting this break to cause a down move. Never did I expect this size of a move. Why? Because whenever I have done the same thing in the same situation, it has bounced then continued up!

I think in this case it has more to do with the trader not identifying S/R correctly, instead of the market behaving strangely.

 

Fwiw, I know see a failure to make a lower low on support (on the miniscule 5minute chart that is). Going lower here is still risky but here is my papertrade: long @ 204.17.

Which reminds me of the trouble I had in July... June was extremely trending and I didn't except the NQ to stay rangebound for so long. We should've switched places then and back now!

It wasn't the market this time. It was all me. I have no excuses apart from bad placement of S/R.

 

I have pulled the kitchen knife out of my hand and bandaged it up and away we go again!

 

 

 

Oh, and must stop playing with my nieces, posting shit on T2W to start arguments and stop trying to keep the No1 slot over there too.

As Mr Pink said to the others..............

 

''Both of you guys got ten years on me and I'm the only one acting like a professional.''

 

I'm NOT Mr Pink in this equation.

Keep in mind I know nothing of this instrument, and I would like to know what the average movement per timeframe is, but I'm placing below the low of that the lowest bar, which would be about at 203.95.

Bad S/R placement has caused me a whole lot more trouble than you can imagine! smbtnt will confirm as well...

Especially the last part :o

Well it looks like I was a bit premature (rarely happens ;))

 

It's still a potential shakeout if we climb back above 204.

 

A push slightly through 204 with a fast comeback high would signal a long.

 

203.85 and right back up to 204. I need to listen to myself more. The plan was to wait for this to happen, then go long on confirmation if price goes back above 204. It has yet to do that, so my trade was not according to plan!

 

Anyhow, with 45 minutes till US markets, I'll better start focusing on my own instruments instead of messing around elsewhere.

Yes, I think we find it all too easy to become distracted and not concentrate on what we are doing. (T2W, taking the piss out of Belgium, looking at other markets).

 

Come on chaps, bit more professionalism.

These support/resistance lines are all valid to me, Wasp. The problem as I see it is that the momentum down is just horrifically strong and is causing them to tumble like dominoes. I don't think it's a problem with your strat.

 

Time to go to paper until this thing settles down.

I see problems with some of my levels and I think I had too many and there importance had waned yet I kept them regardless.

 

Removing some which held little strength at the most recent areas (despite their strength prior) would have meant more success.

There is no way to predetermine their effectiveness, is there?

There are/were levels which had been of importance but the last time price was at said level, it was of no importance. Those levels become less of use and can be removed. as they are no longer S or R.

 

Attached are the 2 variations.

I took a look at both versions, and they appear to be identical to me?

I can see the changes now. I was seeing the same file before, but now it's different. Maybe you changed it? Or my browser crapped up. No matter. I can see the differences now. Thanks.

I still cannot believe what I am seeing; the possible profits, and knowing I missed the lot! (and bought into it losing money instead!)

 

It should have been the best week of the year and I should be on the phone to my travel agent ffs!

    • Date: 22nd November 2024.   BTC flirts with $100K, Stocks higher, Eurozone PMI signals recession risk.   Asia & European Sessions:   Geopolitical risks are back in the spotlight on fears of escalation in the Ukraine-Russia after Russia reportedly used a new ICBM to retaliate against Ukraine’s use of US and UK made missiles to attack inside Russia. 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. Profit taking and rebalancing into year-end are adding to gyrations too. Wall Street rallied, led by the Dow’s 1.06% broadbased pop. The S&P500 advanced 0.53% and the NASDAQ inched up 0.03%. 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. European stocks futures climbed even though German Q3 GDP growth revised down to 0.1% q/q from the 0.2% q/q reported initially. 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. Trump’s transition team has begun discussions on the possibility of creating a new White House position focused on digital asset policy.     Financial Markets Performance: The US Dollar recovered overnight and closed at 107.00. Bitcoin currently at 99,300,  flirting with a run toward the 100,000 level. The EURUSD drifts below 1.05, the GBPUSD dips to June’s bottom at 1.2570, while USDJPY rebounded to 154.94. The AUDNZD spiked to 2-year highs amid speculation the RBNZ will cut the official cash rate by more than 50 bps next week. Oil surged 2.12% to $70.46. Gold spiked to 2,697 after escalation alerts between Russia and Ukraine. Heightened geopolitical tensions drove investors toward safe-haven assets. Gold has surged by 30% this year. Haven demand balanced out the pressure from a strong USD following mixed US labor data. Silver rose 0.9% to 31.38, while palladium increased by 0.9% to 1,040.85 per ounce. Platinum remained unchanged. Always trade with strict risk management.
