Question to the Mods - Thyread Placement

Recommended Posts

If I have short term (i.e. intraday) market comments (and I'm NOT talking about live trading calls here, just kind of a rolling, blog / stream of consciousness type thing) where would you like me to put em.

 

Should I start a blog? (do we have such a thing here?). Or you guys want a thread somewhere (and if so, where do you want it)?

 

Happy to try and comply with the general tone of the site.

What Db said, or, if you prefer a blog format you can start one here yes. Click on the "TL! Blogs" box on the menu bar near the top of each page.

It's really up to you, GJ. If you want discussion and to see others' charts but you don't care about being able to moderate, opt for a thread. If you want the opposite of the above, start a blog.

Went for a blog in the end. As much because I've not tried one yet as anything. And like you say, at least that way I have some control (not that it seems like I'll really need much on this forum compared to others).

 

Just my vague mutterings - sometimes I'll be specific on trading levels, sometimes not. Sometimes just my thoughts on market conditions etc. Kind of a cathartic thing or an excercise in marshalling my thoughts, call it what you will. Can't promis it'll be any good, but what the hell.

A blog would be good because you can control your train of thoughts without outside distractions (if you want to delete the posts from yourself or others, etc).

I consider blogs something like self-moderated threads. Wasp & I started one too btw. With 19 blogs on 10000 members, it seems like the concept has yet to gain popularity though...

Blogs are a good way to keeping trading journals, but it takes dedication and honesty and guts for others to see your results and weaknesses as opposed to private journals. In the end it makes a difference because you grow as a trader and of course we notice why most traders come and go. I had my time at this so it was a useful tool. I still do it sometimes but due to involving trading OPM, it's now private. But definitely recommend it.

I'm sure many of the non-premium members were rather hoping you'd have plumped for the other route :)

 

It’s a shame more of the members won’t be able to observe your views & comments. I know they have the opportunity to stump up $80 or whatever it is to upgrade, but it’s still disappointing that certain sections of these forums are out of bounds to those who would possibly benefit most.

 

Of course you must direct, run & manage your work as you see fit, & it’s personal choice as to who accesses said info, but from what I understand (from colleagues etc) you’re a top class contributor with excellent knowledge, experience & grounding in your chosen field.

 

I for one am very much looking forward to your (& other quality T2W posters) participation in this forum & judging by the feedback & buzz surrounding the transfer of activity of you guy’s, so are a few more.

 

I’m by no means attempting to change your mind or alter your decision, but I hope you won’t restrict your posts exclusively to the medium of blogs or private enclosure. That goes for everyone who jumped ship.

 

I fully understand & appreciate the reasons all you guy’s opted to pitch out of T2W, but this joint is a very different animal altogether.

 

The mods are very agreeable, competent, switched on individuals & Mr Lee directs this site with a fair yet firm hand.

 

I’m sure you’ll enjoy this gig & I wish everyone continued good trading!

Hi Art,

 

Worry not, we all plan on contributing a great deal soon as do many others. At the moment, we are just finding our feet and reading the boards, as there is a whole wealth of different information over here and I don't want to start posting things that have been covered before.

 

These boards and everyone here is refreshing and helpful with a great mod and staff team and I hope we live up to everyone's expectations! I can't wait to join in discussions about trading and for them to actually progress instead of going wayward.

 

I agree it is a shame not all areas are accessible and if we were planning on not joining in the main boards, we would have just gone with a skype group. We will have both and soon you'll wish we would sod off back when you have 100's of new posts everyday instead of 20! :rofl:

 

So watch this space, we will be posting soon........

 

 

 

PS. PM'ed GJ to sort him out! ;)

I thought blogs were publicly accessible? Me and wasp opened one and although the main purpose is to improve ourselves, it's not like there's anything secret going on in there...

 

As for the private vs public threads, I already started a new thread (http://www.traderslaboratory.com/forums/f34/all-you-need-is-a-chart-3843.html), and I'm sure wasp & myself will contribute to the main forums like we did before! :)

 

A lot of reading material to catch up on though! :coffee:

They are. Otherwise there would have been no point in my opening one.

 

Like I thought. But the comment below, as a reaction to GJ opening a blog, suggested otherwise.

Anyway, good blogging :)

Well I definitely wrote something on Friday, so where has it gone? Hmmm - will do some digging. Certainly not my intention to make my blog available only to premium members (although I have a feelign most of what I write will be of interest to only a vrey narrow selection of of people anyway, many / most of whom would potentially be residing in the premium area I'd have thought).

 

Anyway, better go and find that missing blog

Well predictably the fault lay with moi. Not as if I spend all day with technology or anything. A 30 second trip to a page handily entitled 'blog control panel' revealed the fact that I hadn't permissioned anyone at all to view it. SHould be fixed now. Everyone bar my ignore list can view, contacts can leave comments.

 

If someone could confirm that they can see my rubbish scribblings now it would be appreciated. Once I know it's working I may well write a bit more.

 

Thanks for the heads up guys and gals

Yes, of course you gentlemen are correct. I'm getting my blogs & my logs mixed up.

 

Certain sections of the site (not incl blogs) are unavailable to non-premium members, & I incorrectly stated so.

 

I guess it's not too difficult to work out I haven't spent a whole lot of time on public forums. :)

The only thing with Blogs is they tend not to get visited as much (imvho). Personally I tend to click on unread posts then go. every now and then I remember what a full featured site this is.....maybe advertise your blog with a link in your signature too?

It's certainly an option, but those who know me would tell you that's so not what I'm about. If people want to read my blog then cool. If they don't then also cool. I have no interest in publicising it, and if I'm totally honest it's primary function is to get me to marshal my thoughts occasionally. I thought for years about doing something like a blog, before such a thing existed online. But I'm too busy / too lazy to do it unless the technology makes it really easy.

 

So now it is, and I'll put up my thoughts as and when I get the time. Unfortunately, that isn't every day, so if anyone's hoping to follow my train of thought then I think they're gonna be disappointed - it's gonna seem a bit disjointed I reckon. Or maybe not - maybe I'll surprise even myself.

    • Date: 21st November 2024. Gold Regains Momentum as NVIDIA Delivers a Revenue Surge! NVIDIA beat earnings expectations, and nearly doubled revenue on an annual basis. NVIDIA stocks dip slightly despite strong earnings and a strong forecast for the current quarter. Analysts expect market participants to purchase the dip. The Japanese Yen wins back some ground as Bank of Japan Governor indicates the regulator will be willing to hike to support the FX market. Gold, Silver and other Metals all rise due to predictions of high retail and institutional demand and geopolitical tensions remaining high. NASDAQ – NVIDIA Surpasses Earnings Expectations! The NASDAQ took a sudden dip on Wednesday measuring 1.50%, however, investors quickly took the opportunity to purchase at the lower price as most indicators fell to give an oversold indication. As a result, the NASDAQ ended the day only slightly lower than the open price, but downward momentum remains this morning. The downward momentum is partially due to geopolitical tensions which are on the rise. Yesterday, Ukraine fired UK-made missiles into Russia and fired US-made the day before. There are also reports and speculations that Russia has sent ICB Missiles into Ukraine for the first time. However, reports are not confirmed, and there are signs of certain stocks recovering. Currently, there is no economic data which is driving the lack of demand, therefore investors are mainly concentrating on NVIDIA earnings. NVIDIA beat earnings expectations by 8.50% and revenue by 5.90%. Investors were particularly impressed by the significantly higher revenue which has almost doubled annually. In addition to this, the forecast given for the current quarter came in relatively strong. Lastly, the CEO, Jenson Huang, said to Bloomberg that demand exceeds supply but the company is setting in place measures to boost supply in order to meet the high level of demand. Taking into consideration the strong earnings, positive tone and upbeat forecasts for the coming quarter, many may wonder, “why is the stock declining 2.50% during this morning’s Asian session?”. This is partially due to the lower risk appetite, but also due to certain forecast expectations for NVIDIA not being met. The average NVIDIA forecast expectations from Wall Street firms was $37.1 billion, which NVIDIA comfortably surpassed. However, certain firms had expectations as high as $41 billion. Based on these higher expectations, the company underachieved and could trigger a lack of demand from this sector of Wall Street. Though many analysts continue to expect shareholders to purchase the lower price as long as the stock market will remain favorable.   EURJPY – BOJ To Consider Hike! The EURJPY declines for a second consecutive day, particularly gaining bearish momentum after this morning’s Bank of Japan press conference. The main takeaway from the press conference was that the Governor told journalists that the BOJ was willing to hike interest rates in the upcoming months but decisions will be made meeting by meeting. The Bank of Japan’s decision to raise interest rates in July was influenced in part by the weak Yen, which had driven up import costs and inflation. At the Europlace Financial Forum in Tokyo, Governor Kazuo Ueda emphasized that exchange-rate fluctuations are a key consideration in shaping economic and inflation forecasts. He noted that the central bank carefully examines what is driving these currency changes when assessing their impact. The EURJPY now trades below the 75-Bar Exponential Moving Average and below the 50.00 on the RSI. In addition to this, the exchange rate continues to form lower swing lows while the Euro underperforms against most currencies. These indications point towards a potential downward price movement.   Gold – Geopolitical Tensions Send Gold on a Bullish Path! Gold has increased in value for a fourth consecutive day, driven largely by geopolitical tensions. Additionally, the absence of significant US economic news has left markets uncertain about the Federal Reserve’s next move. Gold is currently witnessing an active buy signal from most momentum-based indicators due to the strong bullish momentum. For example, traders are able to see the price trading above the Bollinger Band, within a bullish moving average crossover and significantly high on most oscilators. However, investors should note as the price increases, the asset can become overbought and this may trigger a retracement, a correction or sideways price movement. In terms of geopolitical tensions, hopes for a Middle East ceasefire are being tempered by Russia’s revision of its nuclear doctrine, which aims to strengthen its borders after the US-approved long-range strikes from Ukraine reached deep into Russian territory. Meanwhile, Donald Trump’s re-election has yet to significantly influence the conflict, though markets remain optimistic about potential positive developments following his January 20 inauguration.

    • Date: 20th November 2024. Market Rebounds as Putin Signals Readiness for Peace Talks; Focus Shifts to NVIDIA! US Stocks drop to a 2-week low after Ukraine fired US-made missiles into Russia, but rebound in the US session. Putin updates nuclear doctrine, allowing Russia to strike Ukraine if it uses weapons from nuclear-armed nations. Walmart again beat earnings expectations pushing the stock 3.00% higher. Earnings Per Share beat expectations by 8.00%. The Japanese Yen loses momentum and corrects back to previous lows. The US Dollar maintains strong bullish momentum. UK Inflation Rate rises from 1.7% to 2.3% supporting the GBP despite budget concerns continuing. NVIDIA is set to release their quarterly earnings report after market close. NVIDIA stock has risen more than 5.00% indicating the market expects a beat. NASDAQ – All Eyes On NVIDIA Earnings Report! The NASDAQ ended Tuesday 0.71% higher despite coming under significant pressure during the Asian and European session. The NASDAQ fell 1.20% during the day’s first two sessions due to geopolitical tensions triggering a much lower risk appetite. This is due to the US as well as other countries agreeing to allow Ukraine to strike Russia with foreign made weapons. Ukraine quickly took advantage of this by firing ATACMS into Russia. Russia responded by changing their nuclear weapon use doctrine. Here we can see why the global stock market fell rapidly. However, why did the market recover during the US session? During the US session, the risk appetite and confidence of the market improved as the White House confirmed nothing changes with Russia changing their Nuclear Weapons Doctrine. In addition to this, President Putin also said that he would be willing to start peace talks with President Elect Trump. Lastly, the market also took the opportunity to purchase the lower price since NVIDIA’s earnings report is imminent and Walmart already beat their earnings expectations. Walmart is not a component of the NASDAQ, but has improved the sentiment towards the US stock market. NVIDIA, which is on the NASDAQ, is set to release their quarterly earnings report after market close. NVIDIA stock rose 4.89% yesterday and a further 0.47% this morning indicating the market expects a beat. Analysts expect the company’s Earnings Per Share to rise from $0.68 to $0.75 and revenue from $30.04 billion to $33.14 billion. As no US economic data is set to be made public throughout the day, investors are solely concentrating on geopolitical tensions and earnings. The price of the NASDAQ rose above the 75-bar exponential moving average on the 2-hour chart for the first time since 14th. Traders will be monitoring whether the index will be able to maintain momentum above this level and if the price may also rise above the 100-bar SMA. Traders will be waiting for the NASDAQ to regain bullish momentum and if so will act accordingly. Buy signals are likely to rise if the price increases above $20,764.30 and intensifies above $20,777.93. GBPUSD – UK Inflation Rises Above Expectations! The price of the GBPUSD increased in value taking the exchange rate to a 1-week high, but concerns remain according to analysts. The exchange rate is trading 0.30% higher after the UK made public their latest inflation rate. The UK inflation rate rose from 1.7% to 2.3% which is higher than previous expectations and considerably higher than the previous month. The GBP is currently the best performing currency with the Pound index trading 0.21% higher. However, the second best performing is the US Dollar Index which is trading 0.14% higher. Therefore, investors need to be cautious that a retrace or correction is still possible while the US Dollar Index remains high. Currently the Pound is coming under pressure from the Autumn Budget and from farming strikes which are continuing. However, comments from the Bank of England could support the currency. The BoE warns that planned National Insurance hikes in the Labour budget may drive up prices, slow wage growth, and reduce hiring. Significant inflation could force prolonged tight monetary policy.
