Testing Times.

Recommended Posts

Actions for the 9th.  I look at my charts and often feel I am getting tangled in small time thinking, I am trying to keep in mind what is happening on the higher time frames as the big opportunities are found with the bigger picture in mind.  I've been doing better lately at executing my trades but find some scenarios a little more challenging (exit on trade 2 into possible long), attached notes in an attempt to explain some of my thinking through the earlier parts of the session.  I stopped trading after trade 7 as I felt the PA on the lower time frames was a little troublesome.nq090420181min.pngnq09042018notes.thumb.png.cce8c069e5e82eb44c2226f9ebbf81c3.png

Actions for the 11th.  Price tested the hourly range upper limit and failed, despite knowing there was an area of interest in play I failed to capitalise as I was struggling to make out the PA on the lower time frames.nq110420181min.thumb.png.76330b18968dd2bc8bfc0456c7b37c9b.png

Actions for the 13th.  Just wasn't getting the bigger picture as the day unfolded, PA seemed to hack away at the turning points making things a little tougher.

Actions and thoughts/notes for the 17th.  Really frustrating day, I had a bias as to where price was heading and despite some hesitation in the afternoon there was not a whole lot that happened that shook that bias.  Trying to capitalise on it is a different story, I misread the PA and missed a long early on and spent the rest of the time chasing my tail.

Actions for the 19th.  Prior to the open I was looking at the previous days Lo-Hi as a possible range, I was a little lost throughout the session and ended up shutting down shortly after the final trade.nq190420181min.thumb.png.a13500089373fd530371fcdd12fb6662.png

Actions for the 23rd.  Very frustrating, knew my areas of interest prior to the open but ended up chasing, felt that the volume was vague and got involved when I knew things were looking a little choppy.

Actions for the 30th.  Whilst I think my reads and entries have improved, my patience, tolerance and management seem to be terrible.  I'm trying to improve on the hold times to get in with the bigger trades but find it rubs against the grain a little.

    • Date: 25th April 2024. Investors Monitor a Potential Japanese Intervention, and upcoming Tech Earnings. Meta stocks top earnings expectations, but revenue guidance for the next 6 months triggers significant selloff. Meta stocks decline 15.00% and the Magnificent Seven also trade lower. Japanese Authorities are on watch and most market experts predict the Japanese Federal Government will intervene once again. The Japanese Yen is the day’s worst performing currency while the Australian Dollar continues to top the charts. The US Dollar trades 0.10% lower, but this afternoon’s performance is likely to be dependent on the US GDP. USA100 – Meta Stocks Fall 15% On the Next 6-Months Guidance The NASDAQ has declined 1.51% over the past 24 hours, unable to maintain momentum from Monday and Tuesday. Technical analysts advise the decline is partially simply a break in the bullish momentum and the asset continues to follow a bullish correction pattern. However, if the decline continues throughout the day, the retracement scenario becomes a lesser possibility. In terms of indications and technical analysis, most oscillators, and momentum-based signals point to a downward price movement. The USA100 trades below the 75-Bar EMA, below the VWAP and the RSI hovers above 40.00. All these factors point towards a bearish trend. The bearish signals are also likely to strengthen if the price declines below $17,295.11. The stock which is experiencing considerably large volatility is Meta which has fallen more than 15.00%. The past quarter’s earnings beat expectations and according to economists, remain stable and strong. Earnings Per Share beat expectations by 8.10% and revenue was as expected. However, company expenses significantly rose in the past quarter and the guidance for the second half of the year is lower than previous expectations. These two factors have caused investors to consider selling their shares and cashing in their profits. Meta’s decline is one of the main causes for the USA100’s bearish trend. CFRA Senior Analyst, Angelo Zino, advises the selloff may be a slight over reaction based on earnings data. If Meta stocks rise again, investors can start to evaluate a possible upward correction. However, a concern for investors is that more and more companies are indicating caution for the second half of the year. The price movements will largely now depend on Microsoft and Alphabet earnings tonight after market close. Microsoft is the most influential stock for the NASDAQ and Alphabet is the third. The two make up 14.25% of the overall index. If the two companies also witness their stocks decline after the earnings reports, the USA100 may struggle to gain upward momentum. EURJPY – Will Japan Intervene Again? In the currency market, the Japanese Yen remains within the spotlight as investors believe the Japanese Federal Government is likely to again intervene. The Federal Government has previously intervened in the past 12 months which caused a sharp rise in the Yen before again declining. The government opted for this option in an attempt to hinder a further decline. Volatility within the Japanese Yen will also depend on today’s US GDP reading and tomorrow’s Core PCE Price Index. However, investors will more importantly pay close attention to the Bank of Japan’s monetary policy. Investors will be keen to see if the central bank believes it is appropriate to again hike in 2024 as well as comment regarding inflation and the economy. In terms of technical analysis, breakout levels can be considered as areas where the exchange rate may retrace or correct. Breakout levels can be seen at 166.656 and 166.333. However, the only indicators pointing to a decline are the RSI and similar oscillators which advise the price is at risk of being “overbought”. Always trade with strict risk management.
