.... since you never closed the trade and never moved your stop...

... i guess you were stopped out.....for the full stop loss of 18 points...

 

...after you explained your basis for the trade which was a swing trade based on ten point levels of support and resistance.... i could see that you were looking for a bigger move down....

 

... if you traded 2 contracts..... (exactly which contract you never stated) .... i wonder where you would have taken half off .....

.... because you didn't take any profit when you hit your first target....

 

 

Ok what the hell..:)

Short 1028 (cash) today 2 contracts 1st target 1018

2nd target 990

stop 1046.

The rally ended yesterday at 1037.7:

cool: So 1038 1028 1018... 990 support.

.... since you never closed the trade and never moved your stop...

... i guess you were stopped out.....for the full stop loss of 26 points...

.... that's two big losses....

 

.... unless i am missing something....

... i don't see the benefit of taking the last top.... .and putting support/resistance at every ten point level below it....

.... that certainly has nothing to do with the rule of ten that i know.....

 

... were these two trades both done with the spread-betting firm you spoke of ?

 

.... if you can only trade with a spread-betting firm....then how can you even use a stop at all ?

.... you are just betting on a certain close by a certain date... or not.... how does that allow the use of stops ?

 

....once in the trade.... you can't back out in that type of trade setup....

 

Short 3 contracts at 1013. 1st target 993 2nd target 983 3rd target 973 stop 1039 for now

a second long signal....

... this time just after the open

 

at 56.75 .... then a short signal at the highs

-------------------

 

the short failed to go all the way .... so this will probably gap up for a short on friday

I never understood why people do all the 'clever stuff' on entries only, personally I would rather trade a random entry with a good market structure based exit than a market structure based set up with fixed target exit. (I think). Obviously things tend to improve with both.

 

Because adverse excursion determines the trade size comfort. :)

    • 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.
