Very bad day. The first time in a while the emotions got to me and put me in some stupid trades. Its like when price just won't go in any direction, my mind says "oh, you (oil price) want to just chop around, well I'll show you, I'll enter without any setup whatsoever! Ha!"

 

I simply cannot watch the chart when oil is in preinventory lull. I will find something to trade so from now on I'll either find something else to trade during that period or sleep in a little and get to the charts in time for inventory. Of course today's post inventory action was slow and choppy but that is unusual.

Great day of profits for the small range moves that were provided. All the volume was split between the J and K contract so none of the moves had much umph and someone did not want to let oil breakdown. Every try failed. Nice to have a day with no drawdowns though.

Well, I blew my chance for a great day. Oil moved big and I was early to short but just couldn't hold through it after getting used to all those choppy days. This is my recurring problem. We'll see if I can come up with some solutions this weekend. Okay week. Really need to improve things going forward.

In the end, down for the week, but still feeling strangely good about the week in general...

 

Your average loss is getting smaller and your average win is getting larger. Still much room for improvements, but I believe this is the third week of improvement in that respect, so we might have a trend! That is likely the source of why you feel "strangely good" while being down. Improvement yields its own rewards.

 

I hope the trend continues for you.

 

Best Wishes,

 

Thales

I really wanted a better than $1000 day so I kept trading and ended up with a boatload of trades today. I was long at the LOD and considering the opening gap I was going to ride it but I saw those ticks start rolling in and cut the profits. A little dejavu day from March 15 when we got a trend up day right after a big breakdown. I first started trading oil back when these types of days were the norm and making money was easy. Luckily I stayed in SIM to get a handle on how to trade all the other narrow range days. If oil keeps making these types of moves, I'll be very happy.

I have got to stop taking momentum based trades, especially in historically choppy price areas. Drawdown was my worst in 5 weeks. Bad day. Can't blame the chop, I just traded poorly.

+$707. This was a very painful day for me as my account was down over $1000 for the majority of the day and then around 3:00, it started coming back up.... Just dreadful and stressful, but ended up on a positive note.

Hey guys,

 

I just funded a new Oanda account with $100, which I'm going to begin trading next week. I plan to post my P/L here.

 

I'll be exclusively trading the EUR/JPY...8am-2:30pm & 7pm-11pm, Eastern Time.

 

I'm risking no more than 2% per trade, with on average just a handful of trades per day.

 

No daily goals, weekly goals, etc...just taking it one moment at a time, trading the best I can with what I'm given.

 

-Cory

Focused a lot on only entering in better setups and I am happy with today's trade number. I guess I was so focused on keeping the trade # down I forgot to let a trade move before exiting. Cut huge profit winners after 5 ticks for some reason. I'll have to fix that tomorrow.

 

I also skipped traking any trades before inventory. Even though it was a narrow range the only trade setup I saw yielded an easy 25 ticks.

Couple bad trades but overall got great entries on the breakdowns. Everything was a little too slow for my liking but you take what you get. Good day.

    • Date: 18th November 2024. Monday Market Analysis and the Week Ahead! The NASDAQ inches up ahead of NVIDIA’s upcoming earnings report. NVIDIA will release their earnings report on Wednesday. Analysts expect NVIDIA’s Earnings Per Share to rise from $0.68 to $0.74 and Revenue to rise by $3 billion. The US Dollar remains strong as investors contemplate whether the Federal Reserve will pause in December. The Fed Chairman advises the US economy remains strong and the employment sector stable. The GBP was the best-performing currency in the Asian session, but will this continue as London starts trading? NASDAQ – Investors Turn Their Attention To NVIDIA Earnings! The NASDAQ fell for 5 consecutive days last week due to the US consumer and producer inflation striking fear amongst investors. The US inflation rate rose from 2.4% to 2.6% and the producer inflation from 1.9% to 2.4%. In addition to this the Federal Reserve advises the US economy remains strong and the employment sector stable. As a result, only 65% of investors expect the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates in December, particularly lower than the previous weeks. Though, certain key events could prompt higher demand and investors to contemplate buying the NASDAQ at the lower price. The higher demand is also in line with what many price theories would suggest. The NASDAQ’s average resistance point from October is at $20,511.29. The price has now dropped below this level and many price theories indicate that a retracement will end around this price. However, analysts would also urge investors to consider what else will drive investors to buy, not solely the price. For this reason, investors will be closely watching NVIDIA’s Quarterly Earnings Report on Wednesday. NVIDIA is the NASDAQ’s most influential stock holding a weight of 8.69% and is already up 0.52% in pre-hours trading. The market expects NVIDIA’s Earnings Per Share to rise from $0.68 to $0.74 and Revenue to rise by $3 billion. If the company beats these expectations, the stock is likely to rise and can support the NASDAQ. On Monday, investors will keep this in mind while trading. Besides the upcoming earnings report investors are also monitoring the volatility in the Bond Market and the VIX Index. Bond yields continue to rise which is a concern for the stock market. The US 10 Year Treasury is up 14 points, however, the VIX index is 1.45% lower which is known to be positive. Buyers will be hoping for the VIX to remain low and for bond yields to drop. Whereas, sellers will be hoping for bond yields to rise further and the VIX to correct back upwards. GBPUSD – Will The Cable Retrace After A Seven-Day Decline? The GBPUSD has declined for seven consecutive days which is a price movement which has not happened before in 2024. In addition to this, the exchange rate has fallen back to the support level from June and August 2024. Therefore investors are considering whether the GBPUSD will retrace slightly higher on Monday. A retracement in the short term could potentially take the price to the resistance level at 1.26810 or 1.27190. A retracement is possible according to analysts as the GBP is the best performing currency of the day and due to the low price. In addition to this, the US Dollar is not expected to be influenced by any economic releases until Friday, when the US as well as the UK will release their Purchasing Managers’ Index, whereas the UK will release the Monetary Policy Report tomorrow morning and their Retail Sales within the week. In terms of potential areas to consider speculating a buy, some traders may take into consideration the breakout level at 1.26270 or once 65% of the previous swing has been made. This would be at the 1.26314 price. Always trade with strict risk management. Your capital is the single most important aspect of your trading business.
