AWAITING FOR THE PULLBACK AND PRICE ACTION, PRICE LOOKS EXTENDED & COMPRESSED
THIS IS NOT A TRADING IDEA, more of a recap. Earlier this week I posted a chart of the EURUSD that had three potential bearish patterns setting up in the same area. In that post I mentioned that I was also involved in a long position on the Euro. Well after 24 hours of doing absolutely nothing this pair finally decided to rally and move in my favor. Throughout the...
One of my successful trades yesterday was this hourly harmonic pattern (bat pattern) on $GBPNZD. It was a setup sent to the members on my weekly members letter and we had couple of entry points to choose from. I've just posted a blog post discussing about this trade and the dilemma we had regarding our possible entry points. You can read the blog post...
Recently, Gold broke up above intermidiate resistance/neckline. On chart, you can see inverse Head and Shoulders pattern which usually leads to reversal of previous trend. Since Reversal candle on the 1st of January of 2015 it feels much more constructive. Nice 2 days of rally after that actionable signal. Then it broke up resistance at $1,204 which later became...
Just days before Germany's much anticipated third quarter gross domestic product (GDP) data is released, business leaders and policy makers warn that euro zone's largest economy has lost its competitiveness and is on the brink of recession. German Stock Index DAX is grinding high for the last 3-4 weeks after a sharp down move. It is building nice consolidation...
Obviously the bulk of this trade has already played out but following up on yesterday's blog post and this mornings training lesson. I wanted to take a look at how I actively manage a trade. One this I continue to tell the traders I work with is to "think like the other trader" so seeing how I'm in a bullish position, what I like to do is break down the chart and...
Risk management: previous low of the day $1,1190 is key if bulls want to continue, then we have low of the day $1,182.67. Below this I am out of my tactical reversal play from major support. First target is 8 EMA $1,208 that is tracking this trend since breakdown of wedge, then we have $1,225 as next target.
Nice, bull candle closed near highs,that resolved wedge with bunch of inside, choppy and noisy candles. Lets see to what it leads, need to hold breakout point at $76.90. As markets recent momentum remains neutral to negative and long-term macro picture in Wal-Mart is neutral it makes probability of this trade lower. I manage probability of trades with tier...
I wanted to share this trade idea because its a great example of how to manage your trades once the market moves in your favor. Notice that since I got in a big hurry to get in this trade, my entry, while decent, could have been much better. If I had just waited a few more days with a nice limit order sitting on the red sliding parallel, then I would have had...
Buy oppurtunity at perfect bullish Cypher completion then trade management looking for this ideal scenario to happen.
During this recent move up in S&P (100 handles from the last bottom) Oil&Gas ($XOP) stayed one of the weakest sectors and specifically shares of Slumberger. After exhausted move up on the end of June, it entered into correction and broke down its 50 EMA that was in control since the beginning of 2014. Now, sellers keep preassure and hold resistance at $110...
Bank of America lags behind the market, ant usually that indicates some weakness. Key level in this action is $15.30, the breakdown of which previously led to a drop to $14.85. Now it acts as a resistance and underneath a bear flag has been formed, breakdown of which will attract more sales. Potential entry points are marked on the chart with orange bands.
NetApp holds well above broken resistance level at $38. This is very important level as it is in play since March. We had some clues before break up as buyers managed to build series of higher lows with recent bottom at $36. Below this, idea will loose its luster. As broad market entered into corrective phase, i like how this specifique stock showing us relative...
TeraData has been hot stock during 2010-2012, then it lost its luster after soften in margins. But in terms of net profit and total revenues it is showing us solid numbers. Stock found strong support at $39-$40. Looks like funds accumulate this stock during last three quarters. Yesterday, it gave us Day #1 (broke of flag and trend line). If the next days it will...
Ferro Corp is sitting on its major support showing us relative strength, while SPY broke down its intermidiate trend with big, ignited candle. I will be watching for stocks that show us resilience during this corrective phase, as we remain in macro trend. If indexes will find its footing, then we can see an upward move in this stock with resonable risk/reward and...
Following up on an idea that I posted last week. The USDCHF is now at a point where traders who are aggressive with their risk management can look to roll and trails tops with structure (on the 4hr TF) One of the most important lessons that I've learned over the years from my personal trading and from my time as a money manger, is that how you manage a trade once...
After V-shape move off the bottom on February, stock formed double top at $91.62 and sold off from there with two gap downs (means strength of sellers). I will us gap pivot point as stop/ Until it stays below $87, I am bearish. Price is below key moving averages. You can manage this trade in different ways I use active trade management. Enter with tier1 in this...
