What do you use to help you determine the trend is coming to an end?

 

If it's proprietary in nature no worries, no need to detail.

 

Just thought it would be helpful to others to have some idea of what you personally would look for to head for the exits.

I'd be looking for multiple failures to break through resistance, lower lows, trendline break, etc.

 

I was close to getting out of FEED because it has tested the $3 area several times but didn't make any lower lows after testing so I hung in there.

Super, most appreciated - thanks for that.

 

Continued success with it in the meantime!

FEED

 

SOLD

 

Well, I got worked by a bad earnings/new event on FEED. Even if I had had my stop loss move up, the morning gap down was too large too handle. I sold everything at 2.60 so I only made 11% when 2 days ago I was up 42%. There are so many ways to screw up in this game.

What's your feeling on holding through earnings?

 

When I was more actively swing trading stocks I used to have a rule to exit the day before the news because I felt it's a coin flip at that point. Of course, there were many, many times I regretted it when it spiked my way and kept going -- I can't say I ever was 100% sure the right thing to do in that situation.

I normally don't hold through earnings but FEED has had so many good ones that I might have held through even if I had remembered earnings were coming out.

Ah, Crude Oil trading now that's something after my own heart. For me it's the most dependable market. Though lately I've mixed in some Natural Gas as there's days it has been moving actually better -- key for me is to always enter it on buy or sell stop limits and allow 1 tick slippage. Since it has a tendency to slip several ticks if you don't control it.....

 

Well, back to the oil fields.....

MMS - would be nice to get a more active trading thread(s) on oil. That 'other' site has a very active CL trading thread and it's actually pretty good. Very little off topic stuff.

 

No idea how many around here trade it though so it may end up being you and me talking.

Wells Fargo had a strong earnings report on Friday. Unfortunately, for bulls (myself included) who were long on the stock it has fallen. :doh:

The market has reacted negatively even though WFC has been given an "overweight" rating by quite a few Wall Street analysts. The current trading price of $34.75 could actually be a long term support level as WFC is posed to have increasing growth given its cost management and core business growth. Price targets are up with many expecting it to hit $50 per share in 2 years time.

You are talking funnymentals on a technical topic?

 

And in case you don't know the market has a way of reacting differently than what is expected by the majority whether or not FA or TA is used for analysis.

    • In Italy, I saw many of our brothers from different parts of Africa, sleeping and living in the park, the weather was very cold and its obvious that they were looked down upon. It made me want to cry and several questions overwhelmed my heart.   Is it not better to remain in Africa than to be homeless in this freezing cold weather?   I wish I have all the money in the world to rescue them...   Is this the reason why our skin color is looked down upon?   Do our government officials see this sight when they also travel outside of the country...does it hurt them or pain them like it pained me?

    • Date: 28th March 2025.   Market Selloff Deepens as Tariff Concerns Weigh on Investors     Global stock markets extended their losing streak for a third day as concerns over looming US tariffs and an escalating trade war dampened investor sentiment. The flight to safety saw gold prices surge to a record high, underscoring growing risk aversion. Stock Selloff Intensifies The MSCI World Index recorded its longest losing streak in a month, while Asian equities saw their sharpest decline since late February. US and European stock futures also signalled potential weakness, while cryptocurrency markets retreated and bond yields edged lower. Investors are scaling back their exposure ahead of President Donald Trump’s expected announcement of ‘reciprocal tariffs’ on April 2. His latest move to impose a 25% levy on all foreign-made automobiles has sparked fresh concerns over inflation and economic growth, prompting traders to reassess their strategies. Investor Strategies Shift Market experts are adjusting their portfolios in anticipation of heightened volatility. ‘It’s impossible to predict Trump’s next move,’ said Xin-Yao Ng of Aberdeen Investments. ‘Our focus is on companies that are less vulnerable to tariff policies while taking advantage of market dips to find value opportunities.’ Yield Curve Signals Economic Concerns In the bond market, the spread between 30-year and 5-year US Treasury yields widened to its highest level since early 2022. Investors are bracing for potential Federal Reserve rate cuts if economic growth slows further. Long-term Treasury yields hit a one-month peak as inflation risks tied to tariffs spurred demand for higher-yielding assets. Boston Fed President Susan Collins noted that while tariffs may contribute to short-term price increases, their long-term effects remain uncertain. Gold Hits Record High as Safe-Haven Demand Rises Amid market turbulence, gold prices soared 0.7% on Friday, reaching an all-time high of $3,077.60 per ounce. Major banks have raised their price targets for the precious metal, with Goldman Sachs now forecasting gold to hit $3,300 per ounce by year-end. Looking Ahead As investors digest economic data showing US growth acceleration in Q4, attention will turn to Friday’s release of the personal consumption expenditures (PCE) price index—the Federal Reserve’s preferred inflation measure. This data will be critical in shaping expectations for future Fed policy moves. With markets on edge and trade tensions escalating, investors will closely monitor upcoming developments, particularly Trump’s tariff announcement next week, which could further dictate market direction.   Always trade with strict risk management.
