NQ closed out at +36 ticks Obviously I left a lot on the table max profit about +72 ... I hope someone else caught the move.

 

A nice trade nonetheless - we typically have seen very few day traders land more than a handful of ticks here, and it is nice to see your success. 36 ticks on the ES would be 9 points - how many day traders have never once had such a profit on a trade. I'd bet many more have taken 36 tick losses than have ever taken a 36 tick profit.

 

Best Wishes,

OK I'll bite Long 6E 1.3125

 

SL 20 ticks

 

Not sure about PT

 

Filled at 1.3124

 

Update: New high on bar moving stop to BE -5

 

SL moved to -3

 

No new high SL moved to -1

 

I guess the good news is that I saved 19 ticks by aggressively managing my SL :)

 

Update Stopped out -1

6E "3 pushes to a bottom?!" Opinions?...

 

Not much loss of momentum on each successive new low, so I myself wouldn't view this as a "three push" pattern. That doesn't mean that a bounce is not immanent. But you asked for opinions, and my opinion is that 6E is perhaps mopping up the first of two or three lows before a significant bounce materializes. Of course, that is my opinion, and you know what they say about opinions.

 

In the end, the highs and lows will lead the way ...

 

Best Wishes,

added at 1.3322 and 1.3202 ...

 

That rally reduced an otherwise nice run to a small profit - +22, +12, +0, -10 respectively ...

 

We'll see what happens as EURUSD aproaches the HOD near the open ...

Hi Folks,

 

Time is running out to get our guesses in for TL's "Guess the Close Contest." We need 50 people to make the contest a go - and here we have 376 visitors today alone, and I know that this thread has had several thousand page views in the last week without hardly any new activity, so TL has many eyeballs but too few willing to "pull the trigger."

 

You know what happens to traders who are afraid to pull the trigger ...

As they say, "you gotta be in it to win it ...," and in this case, we need 50 to be in it for anyone to win it.

 

Go to the thread below and get you guesses posted soon!

Best Wishes,

    • 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.
