Trade Discussion and Analysis

Recommended Posts

I am having one of those days that, if this doesn't bounce, I am thinking off wondering off for a week and taking some time out.....

 

With the fake breaks, poxy drops and pitiful drivel in between, I am getting nowhere fast and for all the effort, its actually a waste of time so, unless we can break up from here, I am taking a break till we do find a bottom as this is boring the shit out of me tbh!

 

The crappy drops to each new support is fine and then I am giving back what I make on the crap in between. I can live with small moves but only coupled with large moves and whilst I agree, one should adapt as each moment in the markets are unique, I'm really not in the mood!

 

It's a cliché but it's true:

Flat is also a position!

I think part of my problem is I am a tad greedy.... If I was content with 30/40 pip trades twice a day I would be in heaven right now as that's easy atm but for me, anything less than a 500+ pip week was a waste of time.

 

I was used to decent weekly points to for some months. Then came summertime. I had to settle for less, much less and some weeks ended up negative for the first in a long long time! :\

 

So yes perhaps you're greedy combined with impatient.

If I read "can't wait to get this last 18% he needs" that would seem confirmed ...

What's this, abuse wasp day! Get stung as a kid or something??!

 

You are right though I know, I should stop thinking of what I want, get in tune and become one with the market and take what it offers as it offers it, not try to force something out if it....

I'm not into patterns per se, but if you know what they represent it's interesting to see the market react.

 

Looks like price came back to the neckline of the head & shoulder formation and sold off strongly. The downmove that GBP/JPY is currently experiencing has a much steeper gradient than the move up that started in February 2008...

Hindsight is easy to say ofcourse... but given the strength of the downmove plus not a single green candle to see...

 

Does anyone here live in Belgium that can go around and slap him?!!

Let us not forget that my longs over the last week were only for returns to S that became R in order to get a better price for the next drop.... I haven't been looking for or trying to call a bottom.... well, not till today anyhow!

I did read somewhere below your nick:

"is trying to pick a bottom" :hmmmm:

But seriously....... I don't want much... Just S to return to R then maybe break and the next to become S and break up through both to a previous S turned R etc, so on and so forth.... All neatly packaged with trendlines to stop me taking reversals I shouldn't but not turning to quick so I miss out...

 

Just that, each for +100 a time and it can trend up, down or backwards for all I care as long as the above works!

I think in a strong downtrend like this one S does not return to R because there is not enough demand. Most of the time if price can't get to the midpoint of a zone identified by a S and a R level, then you better run for the exit... imho...

 

of course one way to prevent taking reversal which don't run very far is to keep in those shorts longer and scale out... I know that's not your style but I don't see much other option!

I like this bit.... Just how, in RT, do you know its not getting to the other side, until of course, its returned to S?!!!

FX is a fickle beast and when this does turn, I will show you.... It will happen hard, fast and when you least expect it.

Well you gauge momentum... for instance if price makes higher highs and higher lows after bouncing off S you can stay in. But if it quickly fails to do so you run for the exit. Or if you see price bouncing, then stalling for a decent period of time and instead of continuing it's upward movement it falls back down, you exit. Several options available :) everything depends on how much you are willing to risk in order to gain something.

 

But in a downtrend I think the odds that price goes from R to S are higher than the other way around. Just my 2c.

Sure, but not until it reached some really decent support right?

Any reversal that occurs in mid-air has little chance of surviving very long imo.

Classic!

 

The reversal up happened not from support but from mid S/R after failing to drop once again....

 

What a poxy week so far far me! Only 240 pips and nearly over!

This thread is to remove the risk/temptation to over trade through boredom...

 

It will be various charts from various markets for analysis (per Barjons WOT threads) so when you have itchy fingers, analyse and predict these instead!

 

Starting it off, we have 3 FX charts...

 

Firewalker believes reversals only happen at S/R whereas I know FX is a bitch and it can happen when you least expect it so, a simple 1=, 2=, 3= and answer stay in or reversal....

 

All can play and we'll jump around from FX to Indices to stocks etc, with volume and without..

Yep. But the 4-hour gave a good signal, which you appear to have rode higher.

 

EDIT: Or was it the trend lines that prompted you to go long?

    • It depends. If you have lots of money that you can buy a house without a loan and if you don't have any parents to sponsor then it is a good idea. Otherwise it might be a bad idea depending where in Canada you are heading to. I earned a good middle income in my home country and I migrated to Vancouver 5 years ago at the age of 35. I had to start right from the bottom, lowest of the low.. Now i am finally earning a middle income in Canada but I still cannot afford to buy a one bedroom apartment. Having left behind friends, family and home, most of the times I think it is not worth it.   In short, do not migrate if you already have a good life in your home country and you are happy. Only migrate to Canada if you really have to leave your home country say there is a war or something really bad. Discrimination still exists here and its really tough for newcomers unless you are super rich. Good luck. David Chong, Quora  
    • This is bigger than the internet. Bigger than mobile. Bigger than social media.   While everyone was distracted by stock market fluctuations and political theater…   Most people have NO IDEA what just happened last week with ChatGPT.   Their new memory feature allows ChatGPT to remember EVERYTHING about you across all your conversations.   Think about that for a minute...   While most tech companies have been collecting mere breadcrumbs about you - your likes, your clicks, your browsing history - OpenAI is now collecting the most valuable dataset in human history: your complete psychological profile.   This is Zuckerberg x 5,000.   The more you use ChatGPT, the more it understands you, becoming a supercharged reflection of yourself that improves at an exponential rate.   Are you a regular ChatGPT user?   Consider whether it’s time to turn off the “you can train on my information” feature. To prevent your data from being used for training while still using the memory feature:   Disable Model Training: Navigate to Settings > Data Controls. Toggle off "Improve the model for everyone". Manage Memory Settings: Go to Settings > Personalization > Memory. Here, you can: Turn off memory entirely. Delete specific memories. Use Temporary Chat for sessions that won't be saved or used for training. Now the investment implications…   Why This is Bigger Than You Think Consider this: the relationship between humans and ChatGPT is evolving beyond a mere tool.   People are now treating these AI assistants as friends, confidants, and even romantic partners.   I'm not making this up - there are already documented cases of people ending real human relationships to pursue “connections” with their AI companions.   A viral Instagram meme shows a person going through life with a glowing, featureless humanoid figure - representing ChatGPT - as their companion.   The post has over 1.1 million likes and comments like "Bro ChatGPT is like my best friend. Ain't even ashamed to say it" with 25,000 likes.   But here's where things get really interesting for investors and entrepreneurs...   Three Things to Watch For starters, hardware is the next big thing for the big players.   The iPhone form factor is dead.   It hasn't meaningfully changed in nearly a decade. The next evolution in hardware will be designed specifically to interface with these AI companions.   OpenAI is already working on hardware with Johnny Ive, the legendary designer behind the iPhone and iPod. But you can’t ignore Elon Musk’s edge here.   So what does all of this mean for you?   The companies that control the personal AI relationships will be worth trillions. OpenAI and Elon Musk will have the coziest moats. We're witnessing the birth of a new internet - one built on agents that can communicate with each other across platforms. Google's new agent-to-agent protocol allows AI agents to work together without sharing internal memories or tools. The hardware companies that create the perfect interface for these AI companions will dominate the next decade of technology. And almost nobody is talking about what this means.   My prediction? Within five years, most people will have a personal AI that knows them better than anyone else. And they will interact with it in ways that seem foreign today.   (And, yes, it will almost certainly have dystopian elements.)   In the meantime, the biggest gains won’t come from household names. And, right now, James is seeing a prime opportunity to invest in the most under-the-radar plays in AI…   For dirt cheap. By Chris C.
