The post above and this one: I don't trade these markets, but I keep on my eyes on these charts and keep my analysis updated.

 

Gold-Euro -at very good point to go short providing the bar closes nicely.

 

Silver - at res. made of PPZ and MQ

 

Nasdaq - still space to go up, but...

Dow Jones - at important turning point.

Both charts use Fib.Channels

 

Nikkei - is nowhere. Just sitting on support made of PPZ (green area)

Just analysis, I don't trade these markets:

 

 

JPM - space to go

 

WMT - long actually

 

JNJ - what an ugly chart, if I must I would have to choose long

 

CAT - almost there to look for shorts at top of the channel

Gold stop and reverse @1,632.00 SL1,663.60.

50% retr, DGL R3, PPZ and lower channel retest, Bands res. Pin Bar entry.

Another chart shows reaction from long awaited area, 150ema, 200sma is very close, and again Pin Bar. Too good to be true?

If the market does what I hope for, I would have to assume Gold could be confirming it's downtrend.

 

AUDUSD change short order @1.2950 SL:1.3083.

Another great Pin Bar off 200sma and 62% retrace.

Gold short filled @ 1,631.99

 

USDCAD long filled @ 1.0214

 

AUDUSD short filled @1.0275

 

Euro took my trailing stop out and went strongly down. It's a b..ch, you know.

On the positive side: half of another USDCAD long is still on and half of GBPJPY is still on.

Gold short @1,647 SL@1,679. Bearish sign at 200sma

 

 

USDCAD long @1.0090 SL@1.0025, bounce trade 365ema, on chart also nice bullish signs @ 365ema, but I will not add, since recently Cad has been very undecided. If it breaks up, I will look of INR4 (inside narrowest range in 4 days) to add. So far, just waiting if I can move SL=BE

 

 

EUR short@1.2950 SL:1.3083 order from jan13th, bounce off yearly mean reversion support.

gold has some more space to go imvho...will 1678-1685 resistance work?

 

Thank you. Yes, I agree. If 1,6800 -1,7000 breaks through it may go even to 1,8000. If so, I hope it will give me retrace setup and signal around 1,6800.

 

Short signal was bad, but I had to take it since before just too many times I didn't stick to my plan. Half closed @ 1,6690.

Gold half closed @1,6690 (-220pips). short signal seems to fail.

CAD SL moved @1.0100/0095. reversed pin - i have a short order.

EUR SL half moved @1,3010. initially rejected zone and moved down, but now it seems to be rejecting shorts, hence my SL moved closer on half.

USDCAD short order @1.0100 SL:1.0175. After bullish signal it gave immediately bearish signal out of Pitchfork. Looks like it wants to leave upper pitchfork.

I used Shiff Median here.

 

-45pips loss. original SL was 75pips

EUR long half closed @1.3091 - bearish reaction in the PPZ. Half @ BE.

 

GBP half SL moved to 1.5745 - above Pin Bar which penetrated the sell zone (quarterly mean).

 

USDCAD long@1.0046 if filled, SL 9972. Pin Bar off 200sma.

 

AUDJPY short@81.55 if filled, SL:82.95. Yearly Mean level - Pin on Alpari charts but Outside Bar on Oanda charts, I place entry below OB, because I was too late for Pin Bar.
