Ok, I'm back!

 

I am STILL long from 213.85 (yesterday I think - I've been sitting on this trade so long I forgot when I entered!) and it looks like I will be in till post-NFP... So to bring things up to speed...

 

Long GJ @ 213.85

Stop @ 212.25

 

Looking for (hopefully!) a break of 215, then even 215.90/216 if possible...

Wasp, are you trading in this direction based on any fundamental theories? Hoping, perhaps, that the Japanese housewives are able to pull rank?

 

I'm curious because fundamentally, it looks like GJ may illustrate some further weakness, given how precarious Great Britain's economic outlooks is. Aren't they thinking of cutting rates soon, or is inflation so horrid that they have no choice but to hold the line?

I am long off support and waiting for a rejection of resistance at IMO, 215 or, a break of the support that got me into this long in the first place!

I think you'll find that wasp doesn't give a **** about fundamentals ;)

Yip... I kind of figured as much. Hey, that's cool. I know several traders who could care less about fundamentals and do just fine. I personally can't do that. I require a fundamentally slanted view of the market. That's just me.

 

Whatever works...

Nope. Well, whilst I am aware of this credit crunch thingy, I tip my hat to anyone who can actually make consistent profits through fundamentals. Not my way though.

Are you aware of when specific news will print and do you care about how the data print compares with consensus? Or is that all just noise?

I know that major news comes out at half 8 and half 1 UK time but that's the extent of my attention. I've tried both and TA always just works best for me, regardless of the news. I am in the camp of the chart leading the market and the news uncanilly tying in nicely. Normally!

Thanks for the clarification. You do what works and that's all that matters.

Exited for -30

Shorted @ 213.55 (on the 4hr candle whilst trying to sleep so you had no hope the post would be made live!)

 

Well done cowpip, you were correct but stats wise, I am happy to take the loss regardless, still got plenty of edge!

Thanks for that, Wasp.

 

I have gone short GJ at 212.75 at resistance. Stop: 213.05

 

Nicely done. I did something similar but had my nieces here today so not had a chance to post.

Closed my short (didn't call it so won't mention the pips - +30 btw!)...!

 

Long GJ @ 212.29

Stop @ 211.69

 

 

Nice call, Wasp! You obviously saw and/or felt something I didn't.

You have a fetish for 215, don't you? ;) kidding...

 

I'm going to hold this short for now and see where the 4-hour candle closes (I'm one hour off of you on my charts - my 4-hour closes one hour before you). My chart suggests this may just be a retracement back through the last 4-hour candle. If there is any real intent to push this lower, it should occur within the next hour or two. I'd like to base my decision on how the current 4-hour candle closes.

 

If we extend the last move down further (from the last swing high near the resistance around 70/80), we end up with a measured target very close to my next marked support level around 211.60/70. BUT, it first has to break and hold that tough support level at 212.20.

I was obviously looking the wrong support line. It should have read, the next measured lower is close to the support line I have marked around 210.40. Sorry. But it has a looong way to go to get there.

Very sorry to hear that, Wasp. It really sucks when mistakes creep into profits.

 

I've closed my trade for +60 and I'm now long GJ from 212.04, with a very tight stop at 211.89 in case this current hourly inside bar breaks lower. Price action is looking a bit tired going lower. We'll soon see.

Oops... typo... that should be long from 212.09, not 04. Bloody high spreads during the Asian session certainly don't make this easier.

 

Edit: Looks like I may be wrong on this one. I'll let it go overnight. Time for some sleep. Happy hunting, Wasp.

Well in the end I should have stayed short as the next candle confirmed it but that prior one still said long to me. Once broken 212.20 though it was an easy clear run to 210.66 for sure.

 

Unlucky cowpip, what made you go long there?

 

Short from 212.08 in the end (as visable on the chart)

    • 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.
