Actions for the 1st.  Made a mistake with trade 1 and trade 2 was pretty standard, after that I just couldn't make heads or tails of what the PA was doing so gave up after lunch.

Actions for the 2nd.  I wanted to take more trades but found myself being precious after trade 2 and doubted my thinking which led to me sitting on my hands on some good setups.

Actions for the 6th.  Started off with some poor reasoning on my entries, had a couple of losers then finished with a trade that was a proper entry and management trade for a win.  Who would have thought following the plan would work?nq060820181min.thumb.png.1d44e9ff6e9644e5004e3dc575a0bea1.png

Actions for the 7th.  Still overly reliant on volume to give a heads up, its good for climactic behaviours but outside that it can make it a little harder to follow.nq070820181min.thumb.png.3ba8bfef539727c69e8245e8863e4a5f.png

Actions for the 8th.  Seemed like a possibly choppy day which led me to bailing on the trades after the impulse move post entry.nq080820181min.thumb.png.74c3b2825fa1939f3b8059020d3c55a0.png

Actions for the 9th.  Despite noticing and feeling that the PA was sloppy early on I continued to try and make something of it, I sat out for a bit after trade 7 but still ended up getting tangled in a trade that I should have avoided (trying to make something of marginal PA).nq090820181min.thumb.png.77519273b50ac684a2f94b5d101a1ec8.png

Actions for the 17th.  I was not being as attentive as I should have been early in the session, I then felt out of kilter and decided my safest bet was to sit on my hands as I was a little too frustrated to trust my thoughts.  Despite the negativity it was an interesting day.nq170820181min.thumb.png.a8f59917f6ab22a98c0c84dfd043e0b0.png

Update to the daily time frame.  Not 100% sure what to make of where PA is at the moment, there is a possibility that in the short term price has found support around Wednesdays low which is in the area of the last daily swing Lo-Hi MP, and despite heavy volume on two attempts price could not drop this level.  On the other hand price showed weakness as it moved towards the ATH and stalled on lighter volume before dropping on increased volume, could this be the start of things to come?nq20082018multiprep.thumb.png.ca29a9e35195a3b5c810b5eb4b800f96.png

Actions for the 4th.  Feel like the market is out to get me sometimes.  On another note, having gone over my trades, I noticed how bad I am at this.  My record is particularly bad in the 30 minutes after 10am so for the time being no more initiating trades in that half hour period.  I also need to continue working on my resilience in the face of adverse PA, that's if I can get a trade off the ground in the opening minutes.nq040720181min.thumb.png.f3d5fe1c5391963ddaa47b28f7ae4d39.pngnq04092018notes.thumb.png.78a62b9aebf2d1267550a6e04b92b9e7.png

    • Date: 29th March 2024. GBPUSD Analysis: The Pound Trades Higher But For How Long? The global Stocks Markets are closed due to Easter Friday (Good Friday). The NASDAQ continued to follow the sideways trend while other indices again rose. The SNP500 reaches an all-time high, but the NASDAQ remains under pressure from Tesla, Meta and Apple. The Euro continues to trade lower against all major currencies including the US Dollar, Euro and Japanese Yen. The British Pound is the best performing currency during this morning’s Asian session. However, investors are largely fixing their attention on this afternoon’s Core PCE Price Index. GBPUSD – The Pound Trades Higher but For How Long? The GBPUSD is slightly higher than the day’s open and is primary due to the Pound’s strong performance. At the moment, the British Pound is increasing in value against all major currencies. However, the US Dollar Index is also trading 0.10% higher and for this reason there is a slight conflict here. If investors wish to avoid this conflict, the EURUSD is a better option. This is because, the Euro depreciating against the whole currency market avoiding the “tug-of-war” scenario. The GBPUSD is trading slightly lower than the 2-month’s average price and is trading at 49.10 on the RSI. For this reason, the price of the exchange is at a “neutral” level and is signalling neither a buy nor a sell. The day’s price action and future signals are possibly likely to be triggered by this afternoon’s Core PCE Price Index. Analysts expect the Core PCE Price Index to read 0.3% which is slightly lower than the previous month but will result in the annual figure remaining at 2.85%. The PCE rate is different to the inflation rate and the Fed aims for a rate between 1.5% to 2.00%. Therefore, even if the annual rate remains at 2.85%, as analysts expect, it would be too high for the Fed. If the rate increases, even if only slightly, the US Dollar can again renew bullish momentum and the stock market can come under pressure. This includes the SNP500. Investors are focused on the publication of data on the UK’s gross domestic product (GDP) for the last quarter of 2023: the quarterly figures decreased by 0.3%, and 0.2% over the past 12-months. This confirms the state of a shallow recession and the need for stimulation. The data, combined with a cooling labor market and a steady decline in inflation, increase the likelihood that the Bank of England will soon begin interest rate cuts. In the latest meeting the Bank of England representatives did not see any members vote for a hike. USA500 – The SNP500 Rises to New Highs, But Cannot Hold Onto Gains! The price of the SNP500 rises to an all-time high, before correcting 0.33% and ending the day slightly lower than the open price. Nonetheless, the index performs better than the NASDAQ which came under pressure from Tesla, Meta and Apple which hold a higher weight compared to the SNP500. For the SNP500, these 3 stocks hold a weight of 9.25%, whereas the 3 stocks make up 14.63% of the NASDAQ. The SNP500 is also supported by ExxonMobil’s gains due to higher energy prices. The market will remain closed on Friday due to Easter. However, the market will reopen on Monday for the US and investors can expect high volatility. Investors will also need to take into consideration how the PCE Price Index and the changed value of the US Dollar is likely to affect the stock market next week.
