Wasp, If you're going to do a weekend post to your blog, would you mind terribly annotating a couple of entries and exits on the chart with your thought process in as much detail as possible?

 

I realize you're flying by experience in ways some of us aren't thinking like at this time in our careers. It would really be a great help.

 

Thanks in advance and have a great weekend.

No problem at all.

 

Also going to post it in the discussion thread so can talk in more detail.

Closed @ +1 after next hourly candle came up a bull hammer. I can wait for another clean opportunity though this was a little disappointing. I suppose not entirely unexpected being that we're in the opening hours of the new week.

Don't forget this trend-line, pipmonster. The longer trends come into play as well as the shorter-ones. I learned that last week when I could have / should have held my long from way down lower and instead cut it short at 300 pips. It could have been a much better week if I would have had the balls to hold it off of these longer trends.

yip. Good call on the trend line. Price certainly did react to it. Now price has broken below that longer term trend line and is fighting it out with the descending trend line from the recent high at the end of last week.

I typically wait for a second attempt at the highs before giving up, Don4. I haven't seen a double-top yet. If it fails to get above 156.54ish a second time (and close above there), I'd personally cash out. It's showing some exhaustion, probably mostly because its already met close to its average daily range. Just a thought...

hi guys, there's not been a whole lot of participation lately in the indices thread (I'm not pointing the finger at anyone), but there is interest from a bunch of other guys who would like to participate in either posting live trades or commenting on charts and helping us figure out what the market is going to do next!

 

Unfortunately, right now, these guys can't access our threads because we are only visible for premium members. When we first got here, Soultrader was so kind to provide us with this incentive, but I think we must admit that we are coming up to a point where there is no need to keep things behind closed doors. There are no trolls around here, and those who aren't interest don't participate.

 

So, unless there are serious objections, I suggest we move everything over to the public area and see how things go. To be honest, I don't suspect much change, I just think we would all benefit from having others contribute as well. Over the course of the last few weeks several members have complained about being alone here. That would no longer be the case then :)

 

Wasp & myself are 200% behind the idea. I hope the rest is too!

Thanks to all those who have been loyally contributing in the past.

The more the merrier, Firewalker. I'm game - as long as this thread doesn't become a shouting match or an attempt by others to discredit spot over futures or futures over spot. And yes, please, no trolls allowed. I trust you two would consider moving it back to private if things do get out of hand?

 

Let's give it a shot.

Yes, if things would get out of hand we'd restrict membership or ultimately just return things to normal. But the level of members we have on this site seems high enough to avoid trolls or slanging matches... Rest assured, we'll be keeping an eye out for anything non-catholic ;)

Wasp sure picked a dandy time to take a break. Some guys have all the luck. I left on vacation and missed some great activity. He leaves on vacation and the markets flatline - just for him, no doubt!

 

Absolutely nothing in my arsenal is sticking in these markets. We need more movement. This waiting for the Paulson robbery is doing me no good. The sooner they figure out how to get back on the road, the better. Until they do, I'll be flat.

On the hourlies it looks like she's building up for another jump higher.

Could be wrong, but it's a fairly familiar pattern (ascending triangle).

I would agree. Everyone is probably thinking they will be announcing a bailout plan at 10 am EDT this morning, but who knows if the market will like what they see? They better, or this sucker could tank.

Here's what I've seen (and took) on GJ... It's in keeping with "trade what you see, not what you feel" and is despite the rising wedge-type formation you pointed out, and the anticipation of a potentially favorable (to the markets) bailout bill.

 

Sorry it wasn't live... was busy with other things.

    • 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. Higher borrowing costs tend to weigh on gold, as it doesn’t pay interest. Always trade with strict risk management. Your capital is the single most important aspect of your trading business.
