Hi Folks,

 

Daily chart of bean oil shows open interest rising while price has been consolidating at the highs of its recent uptrend, which typically yields a bearish result...

Best Wishes,

I always have read that consolidation after a strong trend typically breaks out with the existing trend? Aren't we supposed to assume the existing trend is intact until it is actually broken??

Hi Thales,

I was referred to your thread here by a friend. I finished reading it from start to finish. I want to thank you for your contribution here. Your thoughts on money management and trade entry techniques have been very helpful to me. This has been the best thread I've read anywhere!!!

 

Are you active posting on another thread or on your blog now?

I'm happy that you found it to be of value - a lot of good folks made a lot good contributions to this thread.

 

I'm not actively posting anything anywhere right now - I needed a break from the internet. Currently, I am an occasional lurker, but I will be back - eventually.

 

Best Wishes,

 

Thales, friend of Kiwi

Down to the WP?:cool:

 

Forgive my ignorance...what does "WP" mean?

 

Sorry, Weekly Pivot.

 

Interesting...I picked my second profit target based on the prior swing high and the breakout, but that level is indeed also the weekly pivot! It's always interesting when something like pivot points, fib levels, etc., match up with prior swing high's and low's.

Currently long the GBP/USD...leaving it overnight to either fill my loan profit target or fill my stop-loss...

 

I'm trying to ease my way back into posting again... :)

 

Stopped out for a loss. It's too bad I couldn't manage this in real-time, because worst case it would have been a break-even trade...especially after that double top...in hindsight, maybe I should have had one closer profit target...a profit target on half the position at the 161.8% fib extension would have (just barely) filled and the trade would have been a little better than break-even.

Potential short on the EUR/JPY...

 

UPDATE: Order canceled...

 

Looks like it went the other way. I actually managed to catch some of the move, albeit on the EUR/USD...I entered way late, but I jumped into the impulsive move (with a tight stop) and still managed to eke out about 1R...had I entered the trade at what should have been my entry, it would have resulted in about +2.3R...

 

(EDIT: I hesitated to post an after-the-fact trade, but I decided to anyway since it was basically an extension of the potential trade from the previous post. ;))

Ok Cory, I'll jump on board and post one with you. Probably not the best entry but just wanted to get my feet wet with posting.

 

Long USD/JPY after bounce off up trend line and 123 set up.

    • 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.
