DOW long 12930, stop 915

 

Obviously a late entry, but the plan was to buy 840, but when the markets opened the train had already moved out of the station and there wasn't much to do but sit and wait imo...

Once again, trading is about sitting tight and doing nothing.

 

Price is finally starting to move higher! :)

.

 

Price at potential resistance (12970-80) right now, but not all that much reaction.

 

I will observe and scale out here if we should fail to go higher.

This is why observing in real time is much better than having predetermined targets. It's important to have levels in mind where price can potentially react to. Like 12970. Nothing happened, meanwhile we passed that and are at 12985.

 

Still no reason to exit the trade.

 

I'm moving my stop up to 12970.

I'm moving my stop up to 12970.

 

There is some more reaction now. I'm going to take half out at 12985 for +55 and leave the other half on with a stop at 12970. I need to eat something anyway.

The rest of the trade was stopped out while I was having dinner at 12970.

That's me done for the day. I realized if I try putting on more trades I probably give back so of the points won on the first one anyway.

 

Hope you all enjoyed following it and I hope others will try and provide similar live comments.

You have to wonder if just shy of 13000 was another bear entry point...

 

The price action..ie being held there for a while might support this arguement...

Might be a boring morning... unless news/ figures dictate otherwise

I still admire you for being able to sit through a whole day foale.

These days I try to trade just the US session.

 

The NQ is showing signs of rejection on the daily chart...

Thats becasue I am a FULL TIME trader...;)

I do believe there are opportunities around...infact...lots of times during the NY session its can be more of a waste of time than now..ie moves less clear

Sometimes I just look for exits or entries...and let it ride..

 

I dont post all my trades because some are just small adds for example.

I try to post the bigger moves...and have multiple small longs or shorts at differnt prices...so I am not all or nothing..( this is easier to do with spread betting ..as margin required is smaller

 

Today for example on this quiet morning..I have been very cautious...and am up 50...mostly on the Dax all Longs

 

If I had been more "trade what you see..and dont think" would have been more..as charts were saying BUY from 9.00am...

 

See you in the PM..

( Sorry..perhaps this is better in the general thread)

But at least its a post here.. :o

Definitely, opportunities all day. But I just feel much more focused if I'm going for one or two decent trades instead of ten. Had enough days in the past where I started of nicely and ended up with a loss. Remember the c&t days ;)

    • Question: To those that had/have cancer, what were the signs that made you think “something is not right here” to make you go see a doctor? Answer: So, 5/25/2018, I woke up, got ready for work, and as I walked to my car, I started gagging. Like something was stuck in my throat and I needed to clear it. And then it went away.   But 10 minutes after that, I was T-boned at 40mph on the driver side door. But what made me see a doctor was while my muscles felt better and bruises were going away, the gagging still continued, I started having fevers, my neck felt swollen, I was having such a hard time breathing, and I'd have random sharp pains in my chest, but not from where the seat belt saved me.   2 weeks after the accident, I finally see an urgent care doctor, who looks me over, tells me I'm fine, but luckily requests a neck X-ray. And I ask for a chest X-ray, which he rolls his eyes but let me have (most of my pain was in the neck, so I understand).   The very next day, he calls and says “So, that chest X-ray shows there's a 4 inch mass on your heart and lungs, and your lungs have been filling up with fluid, as well as in your pericardial (heart) wall. We need you to come in tomorrow.”   Turns out the big mass, due to the accident, caused my heart and lungs to tear and fill with fluid, the swollen neck and gagging was caused by 2 metastasized tumors, and the fevers and weight loss were symptoms. Stage 4b Hodgkin's Lymphoma.   But thankfully, we went very aggressive with chemo (and had a lot of bad side effects that don't normally happen to patients), and now I'm about 16 months cancer-free. Yay lucky X-rays!

    • As a man, the reality of life is the harshest part. I don’t mind looking older or becoming weaker over time; it’s nature.   Have you ever heard that the only people who will be loved unconditionally are women and children? Men will only be loved as long as they can provide until they are no longer needed. It doesn’t matter if you already did your best to get your kids to the best school or get the best things for them, if you stop before they’re done with it, there will be no thank you. The only thing they will remember is that they have to quit school at 15, ignoring all the previous 15 years of life you provided for them. The only people who will accept you, no matter what, are your parents. But in this situation, you might be that ungrateful child.   EDIT: Wow, I didn’t think this would get so much attention.   For those who disagree, I can only say that everyone has their problem. If you don’t get the chance to face such a thing, be grateful.
