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: 27th November 2024. S&P500 at its 52nd new peak for 2024; USD Firmer, Kiwi & Yen Up. Asia & European Sessions: Wall Street rallied into the close with the S&P500 and Dow registering more record highs with the S&P500 climbing 0.57% to 6045, its 52nd new peak for 2024. The Dow rose 0.28% to 44,860.3 for its 46th record of the year. The NASDAQ advanced 0.63%. Trump named Jamieson Greer as the US Trade Representative and Kevin Hassett to direct the National Economic Council. Greer was intimately involved in Trump’s first-term trade policy decisions. President Biden announced Israel and Hezbollah have reached a cease fire. Over the next 60 days the Lebanese army and state security will take control of their own territory and Israel will gradually withdraw its forces. FOMC minutes: Minutes from the Fed’s latest policy meeting revealed officials leaning toward a cautious approach to future rate cuts. All agreed to cut the rate by -25 bps and nearly all thought risks between achieving employment and inflation goals were “roughly in balance.” Upside risks to the inflation outlook were little changed, and while inflation had eased, it remained elevated. The implied December rate continues to hover around a 50-50 bet as we await the PCE price data Wednesday and the crucial jobs report on December 6. The January 2025 rate is priced for a total of 20 bps in cuts, with -75 bps by January 2026. RBNZ cut its cash rate by 50 bps, yet the Kiwi gained as traders analyzed the central bank’s rate outlook and the governor’s remarks. Chinese government approved a 500 billion yuan ($69 billion) bond quota, enabling two state-owned asset managers to issue bonds for funding projects aimed at spurring economic growth. Today: US inflation and economic growth may provide clues to the Federal Reserve’s next policy move. Financial Markets Performance: The USDIndex has dropped to currently 106.459. The Yen climbed with USDJPY pulling back to 151.82, while NZDUSD jumped to 0.5900 despite the RBNZ’s 50 bps rate cut. Oil prices stabilized at $68.84, with optimism over delayed OPEC+ output increases balancing the reduced geopolitical risk stemming from the ceasefire. Gold rebounds to 2653.54, with next Resistance at 2660-2664. Always trade with strict risk management. Your capital is the single most important aspect of your trading business.
