Closed for -10, reversing back to short at 212.82... It's having problems going higher, although I recognize the risk given the double-bottom on the faster frames.

Weee... look at me... I'm a yo-yo!

 

I've moved my S/R line slightly (from 96 to 76). It seems to fit better, which places the 4-hour candle close inside the band and therefore justifies a move higher? ... Closed short for -14 and long now from 96. Last time I'm switching... it's either do or die.

 

Talk about drunk driving! Sheesh...

Its been an, err, interesting week so far... Certainly a lot more trades than usual and the winners definitely are not beating the losers to the extent I like :angry:

 

-30 +100 +30 -20 -10 +115 +101 -50 -40 +49 -60 +44 +42 -28

 

Still, +243 at the moment... :(;)

I'm concerned that GJ is exhausted. GBP (on cable) has moved VERY far (some of which is US dollar based). EUR has also moved very far and is looking over-extended. I don't think the Yen has depreciated too much. In my opinion, I think EJ has room to rebound. EJ also touched one of my S/R zones.

 

SO, change of tactics... I've closed GJ for +9 and am going long EJ at 167.76. See if I can ride this back up toward 168.20.

I must be cursed with your strat, Wasp. Kidding... it's just poor placement.

 

4-hour candle closed below support, so... according to your destructions... closed for -10 on EJ and short at 167.57 (had I been trading my strat, I would have definitely not considered going long in the first place - but I'm learning this new strat... so...).

Closed at 210.94 for +176

 

Long @ 211.06

 

Closed long for +12. Against my 'rules' but, with EJ and EU and cable dropping and the daily TL breaking, I cannot see this getting back up to 212 again. I may be kicking myself by the next candle but going to stand out for now as its Friday lunch and the US open did little.

 

That's +431 on the week. I feel like I am showing off and massaging my ego posting live so I am going to stop unless everyone would like me to continue.

 

Back to watching the olympics for now....

Closed my GJ trade for +71 and I'll stay flat now through the weekend. Had this not been a weekend, I would have reversed here and gone short at 211.62 But I'm of the opinion that it's not wise to take an entry this close to the end of the week. Anything could happen during the weekend to change sentiment.

 

Anyway, have a great weekend everyone!

 

Wasp... you 'da man! I deeply appreciate the time you've taken to share your thoughts and trades during this week.

I don't think it seems that way. I find your "live" posts useful to follow. However, i by no means expect you or anyone to make public or justify your personal trade decisions. So while they are helpful, i''d say - don't feel obliged to post anything.

 

If posting your live trades is affecting your trading performance for the worse, by being a distraction etc. as could easily be the case, for your own sake i would advise you to stop the posts, and concentrate solely on the "business" of making pips.

Mornin' all,

 

Few additions and changes and lines updated. Here is my outlook for the week ahead and levels I will be watching. A couple more lines to adapt to all levels played important parts in the last few weeks. Also a template for those curious in a bigger picture.

 

Sunday and the sun is shining so I am out of here... Catch you all tomorrow.

A messy ride down to 209.50-208.50 is plausible, which logically is everyone's hotzone....

I will be monitoring and placing limits as we enter the said level...

An hourly close below 210.70 would prompt to short this pair...

Closed for +40

 

Short GJ @ 211.25

 

I assume you are expecting a close below 210.70 on this 4hr and hence the short. May I ask why if you dont mind please? Its just that we have not had a close below that level for 3 weeks and everytime we do dip below we seem to close above...

Could it be the lower high and lower low closes?

I see resistance at 211.40 area and as it has now rejected said level twice this morning, I expect a re-test of 210.70 at least, if not the break and close below.

I'm still inclined to think this will rise, Wasp. It has a "rolling over" look and feel to it now. The next hour will be telling.

 

Inclined to agree at the moment. Far too many buyers at 210.70 to let the sellers take it lower. I think we just need a few more sellers to swap over and join the push up instead.

    • Date: 26th November 2024. Trump’s tariff threats boosted Dollar; Peso, Loonie, Gold & Oil Lower. The Trump trade picked up steam as investors cheered his pick for Treasury Secretary, Scott Bessent. Beliefs he will be a steadying voice in the administration’s fiscal measures, while still following President-elect Trump’s tariff and tax commitments, underpinned. Asia & European Sessions:   Trump threatened on Monday to impose sweeping new tariffs on China, Canada and Mexico on his first day as US President to crack down on illegal immigration and drugs. He would impose a 25% tax on all products entering the country from Canada and Mexico, and an additional 10% tariff on goods from China as one of his first acts as president of the US. Bessent’s 3-3-3 plan aims to cut the deficit to 3% of GDP, boost growth to 3%, and increase oil production to 3 mln barrels. Treasury yields dove in a curve flattener, extending their drops through the session, on expectations inflation will decelerate. A strong 2-year auction also supported. The Dow led the charge, climbing 0.99% to 44,736, a new record peak as the rally broadens. The S&P500 climbed to 6020, a session peak, but finished with a 0.3% gain to 5987. The NASDAQ closed 0.27% higher. Today, stock markets in Europe are posting broad losses, with the DAX down -0.6%, the FTSE 100 0.4%, after a largely weaker close across Asia. ECB: Lane suggests ECB must be open-minded on speed of rate cuts. The ECB’s Chief Economist said in a speech on Monday evening that “remaining open-minded about the speed and scale of adjustments is in fact a valuable strategy across various environments, as different situations may necessitate distinct approaches.” This careful, step-by-step strategy enables us to observe the responses of the economy to our decisions and continuously refine our understanding of their impacts.” The comments leave the door open to a 50 bp move in December, but also tie in with our expectation that the central bank will deliver a 25 bp while tweaking the forward guidance and commit to additional moves. Financial Markets Performance: The USDIndex hit a session high of 107.50 and is currently lower at 106.85. Mexican peso and Canadian dollar slumped as the dollar is being viewed as a haven after the comments of President-elect Donald Trump on tariffs on Canada, Mexico and China. USDCAD spiked to 1.4177 and USDMXN rallied to 20.74. Oil and Gold lost ground, in part on cooling geopolitical risks, and on Trump trades. Oil dropped -3.03% to $69.09 per barrel, in part on the Trump trade and on talk of a potential cease fire between Israel and Hezbollah. Similarly, gold fell -3.26% to $2605 per ounce.
