Short EJ @ 162.10

 

Closed EJ @ 162.14 for -4

 

Long EJ @ 162.14

 

Freedom to trade and post once again now the family has gone. The rejection of 162 and re-cross of upper level and trendline sent me long once again with another loss :angry:

 

Its been a frustrating few days with positions moving into profit but nothing following through.

 

It happens. Accept, move on. I know come end of the week it'll be fine but it annoys me to get out of bed for such a waste of a day!

FYI, I don't SAR all week like this normally! There is method to my madness, this is just a dire Monday!

 

Occasionally I even take a profit!

 

Still, only 24 pips out of pocket on Monday afternoon...

Short EJ @ 161.96

 

Out of that for -25 = -27 on the week now with a swift SAR @ 162.15

 

I am going to start utilizing these major levels more and they may take precedence over my ST trends at this rate.

 

Sorry, bit late for a live call but that Firewalker won't sod off!

... a swift SAR @ 162.15

 

Closed EJ @ 162.85 for +70

 

Note: The 4hr and the hourly screamed long at that lower level when it rejected it once more but I was awaiting my usual trend related sign but it was too late to make the move remotely interesting and rewarding.

 

An incorporation of these 2 major factors is required me thinks..........

Short EJ 163.015, stop 163.2

 

Sorry for being abit slow. But first time trading FX, had problems setting up the stop.

 

Is 0.185 enough for a stop?

 

I normally use 25 pips (incl spread) so 18 is a tad tight for me but you did get a better entry than I.

Another shot... short in @ 163.96

 

15 hours later, I managed to get out of the short for +40 and went long on a beautiful combination setup. It shot up 50 easily and now retraced 40 in half the time :angry:

stopped out for -25

 

Choppy old week with 163 being too strong to let it pass yet too many buyers not letting it go down either. Hopefully someone will push this soon and give it some direction and movement again. I don't care which way, just trend damn you!

    • 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.
