This has been a hairy ride so far.

 

Man... weird WEIRD markets today. The Dow is sky-high, credit markets are bumping against the bottom, and the dollar is starting to rocket again. I'd say the stock market is the most dysfunctional of the bunch. But then, that makes sense given how much tampering the govt has done with that group.

Decided to close at b/e after hearing that there is some sort of wonky activity associated with this Bill they're trying to pass. I don't know where price may go, or whether it will follow another erratic path. It may be best to lay low right now. I'll reassess after I know more.

Well - for me, it's been a waste of a week. Should have gone on holidays this week instead. Sigh... Ranges were so narrow that even milking the cow would have yielded fairly miniscule profits.

 

Oh well... there's always next week.

 

Have a good one, everyone!

Evenin' all!

 

Looks like I chose a good week to take off! Hope you weren't all too badly burnt and we come back to life this week with some nice smooth swings!

Hey Wasp!

 

Nice to see you back in the ol' Forex Foxhole. So far, so good. I was unable to get what I felt would have been the best short entry at ~194.72 due to being away from the screens at that time.

 

I did get short GJ at 193.90. It's running nicely.

Well done! You beat me to the entry by 140 pips.

 

I didn't see the resistance at 195.40. In fact it took me a few minutes to find why you chose that level. Good call. It corresponds nicely to the gap fill from the open.

 

I've been spending a good deal of time going over the week ending charts you've posted and you're absolutely right: this is not that hard. It does involve a lot of waiting for the top shelf entries and just having the patience to let the trade run it's course.

Not only that but it was a key lower area level a lot last week.

 

I don't see it as patience for the best entries, I just see little point in buying or selling unless lined up correctly with S or R as until such an event happens and it does reject said areas, then there is no high% guarantee it will change direction.

 

Take surfing... (sorry, Hawaii cliche!) You wouldn't waste energy paddling like a bitch whilst its still a far out swell... You wait for it to near peak and you can see (high%) whether it is correct to justify the effort/trade to then ride it.

Sleeping as far as I know.

 

I have no idea if he's in on this move or not. Hopefully, he is.

 

At least you can go into town and run your errands happily knowing this week has started of with a fantastic run of a trade.

Moo, guys.

 

I was able to enter at 194.70, seeing the picture just slightly differently than you, Wasp. Nice entry, BTW.

 

Moved my stop just above 192 as well, locking in about +233 pips. This thing hasn't bounced yet, and I suspect it's getting ready now.

 

It's a nice way to start the week off.

I think the difference was I essentially carried last week over and the gap hadn't produced a higher low as yet and that was what I used to get my entry, rather than where you started the week as a fresh week as it were and waited for the first crossover to change direction.

 

Either way, it worked out nice for us all and who says a messy economy is a bad thing!

moved the stop down to 190.40 and happy days! 500 for the 'wages' account on a Monday is sweet! At this rate could be a 4 figured pip week!

 

IF 189.60 holds and the next candle prints higher than this, its switch time...

 

This is tooooo easy!

This has been one heck of a good run. I agree whole-heartedly with you Wasp.

 

I'm of the opinion if 190.20 breaks, the direction will have reversed. It looks like it's trying to form a base now. But there's still no signal for me to long it.

 

I too have moved my stop lower. Don't want to give up any of these juicy profits.

    • Date: 25th November 2024. New Secretary Cheers Markets; Trump Trade Eased. Asia & European Sessions:   Equities and Treasuries rise, as markets view Donald Trump’s choice of Scott Bessent for Treasury Secretary as a stabilizing decision for the US economy and markets. Bessent: Head of macro hedge fund Key Square Group, supports Trump’s tax and tariff policies but gradually. He is expected to focus on economic and market stability rather than political gains. His nomination alleviates concerns over protectionist policies that could escalate inflation, trade tensions, and market volatility. Asian stocks rose, driven by gains in Japan, South Korea, and Australia. Chinese equities fail to follow regional trends, presenting investors’ continued disappointment by the lack of strong fiscal measures to boost the economy. The PBOC keeps policy loan rates unchanged after the September cut. US futures also see slight increases. 10-year Treasury yields fall by 5 basis points to 4.35%. Nvidia dropped 3.2%, affected by its high valuation and influence on broader market trends. Intuit fell 5.7% after a disappointing earnings forecast. Meta Platforms declined 0.7% following the Supreme Court’s decision to allow a class action lawsuit over the Cambridge Analytica scandal. Key events this week: Japan’s CPI, as the BOJ signals a possible policy change at December’s meeting. RBNZ expected to cut its key rate on Wednesday. CPI & GDP from Europe will be released. Traders will focus on the Fed’s November meeting minutes, along with consumer confidence and personal consumption expenditure data, to assess potential rate cuts next year. Financial Markets Performance: The US Dollar declines as US Treasuries climb. Bitcoin recovers from a weekend drop, hovering around 98,000, having more than doubled in value this year. Analysts suggest consolidation around the 100,000 level before any potential breakthrough. EURUSD recovers slightly to 1.0463 from 1.0320 lows. Oil prices drop after the largest weekly increase in nearly two months, with ongoing geopolitical risks in Ukraine and the Middle East. UKOIL fell below $75 a barrel, while USOILis at $70.35. Iran announced plans to boost its nuclear fuel-making capacity after being censured by the UN, increasing the potential for sanctions under Trump’s administration. Israel’s ambassador to the US indicated a potential cease-fire deal with Hezbollah, which could ease concerns about Middle Eastern oil production, a region supplying about a third of the world’s oil. Russia’s war in Ukraine escalated with longer-range missile use, raising concerns about potential disruptions to crude flows. Citigroup and JPMorgan predict that OPEC may delay a planned increase in production for the third time during their meeting this weekend. Gold falls to $2667.45 after its largest rise in 20 months last week.Swaps traders see a less-than-even chance the central bank will cut rates next month.
