I'm having problems trading off the 1min because I used to put my stop 10 points behind the entry, now I need 20-25... 5 minutes is a long wait ;)

 

Yes 5 minutes is an eternity and 20 pip spike outs are common off s/r levels...

10 pips is suicidal...

what's your next potential R on the NQ? I have 1710... but it's having a lot of trouble overcoming 1700. If we can't get past here, the YM/ES can start selling and your short might still come good

still a lot of supply present there by the looks of it!

normally I would short here, but the NQ seems to be leading the way and is very strong

 

11130 would have been entry but this made a higher high....interesting, cannot seem to read it very well. Either too late or too early, mght have to wait until post lunch for myself and markets to sync up...

switch level is at 1710 dude....which coincides with my 11175 to 11200 R zone...kinda...

Look at ES perfect DT at YM's equivalent of R 1222. YM decides to make a HH instead:( but maybe just a spike out and close below R. Doubts creeping in whether we can hold 11k now...

11050 short would be the obvious pullback level for entry.

Then await breakout and pullback again for continuation...

It could go both ways, but with that reaction on support premarket, that's the third time it does not want to go lower. This increased the odds of breaking higher imo... but we'll have to wait and see (after dinner)!

Unless someone in the US says something that makes sense (unlikely), the Dow's going to be back at 10,700, even if we get a bit of a retrace first.

 

something that doesn't make sense seems to work too :o

 

I didn't expect it to fall back so quickly in all honesty...

hi guys, there's not been a whole lot of participation lately (I'm not pointing the finger at anyone), but there is interest from a bunch of other guys who would like to participate in either posting live trades or commenting on charts and helping us figure out what the market is going to do next!

 

Unfortunately, right now, these guys can't access our threads because we are only visible for premium members. When we first got here, Soultrader was so kind to provide us with this incentive, but I think we must admit that we are coming up to a point where there is no need to keep things behind closed doors. There are no trolls around here, and those who aren't interest don't participate.

 

So, unless there are serious objections, I suggest we move everything over to the public area and see how things go. To be honest, I don't suspect much change, I just think we would all benefit from having others contribute as well. Over the course of the last few weeks several members have complained about being alone here. That would no longer be the case then :)

 

Wasp & myself are 200% behind the idea. I hope the rest is too!

 

Thanks to all those who have been loyally contributing in the past, and we

hope you continue to do so in the future.

Good idea, FW. I'd virtually given up posting trades recently, partly because there didn't seem to be anyone else around.

 

Yeah I hear you... I've spent some time in the chatroom too and there is usually more animo there. Some guys have expressed their interest in this forum though, so let's hope we can step up the action a bit :)

    • Date: 3rd June 2024. OPEC+ Announces Gradually Higher Supply and NVIDIA a New Accelerator.     Oil declines as the European Cash Open edges closer. Oil prices have fallen for 4 consecutive days measuring almost 4.00%. OPEC+ members advise the group will have the option to not continue voluntary cuts from September onwards. All US and global indices start Monday’s trading higher after a poor end to May 2024. The bullish price gap illustrates a potential “risk-on” market. NVIDIA announces its next generation of accelerator chips and promises annual upgrades. NVIDIA stocks are already trading 0.55% higher in pre-trading hours. USOil (Crude Oil) – Voluntary Cuts May Gradually Fade! The price of Crude Oil fell almost 4.00% in the last 3 days of last week due to the OPEC+ meeting. The meeting is now at an end and journalists are pointing out 2 key points. The first, is that the OPEC+ group will keep limitations on production as it has since COVID-19. The second, is that countries which have voluntarily added additional cuts will have the option to reduce these cuts from September onwards. According to analysts, the market should not necessarily “overreact”, because if OPEC+ increases supply, it will only be gradual. Additionally, analysts also advise the group will only look to re-introduce production if the market conditions allow it to. Nonetheless, traditionally, additional supply is known by analysts to apply downward pressure on commodities. This is something which can also be seen over the past week, but investors will be keen to see the price drop below the support level.   The support level has been a key psychological level for investors throughout the month of May, specifically on 3 occasions. The price is currently trading below the 50.00 on the RSI and below most longer-term Moving Averages. If the price declines below the 65.00 Fibonacci level at $76.70 per Barrel, momentum will signal possible further decline. USA100 – NVIDIA Announces a New Accelerator Chip! The NASDAQ struggled within the previous week and at one point was down more than 3.00%. However, a large surge of buyers towards the end of Friday’s session saw a strong rebound and the index also trades higher during today’s Asian session. The NASDAQ is currently being influenced by 3 factors. However, investors will also give importance to the pricing of rate adjustments after the US employment data. The first factor prompting investors to increase tech-stock exposure is NVIDIA. The CEO of the company has again advised the technology and AI market will continue to grow and become more aggressive. In addition to this, Mr Huang advised NVIDIA is releasing a new accelerator chip and promises more within the upcoming year. A second positive factor for not only the NASDAQ, but global indices, is most analysts believe the European Central Bank will lower interest rates for the first time in the current cycle. If more global banks decide to reduce the restrictiveness of their monetary policy, stocks will become more attractive. However, only if the move is not a response to potential economic contraction. Lastly investors are also taking advantage of the lower entry point and feel an improved sentiment as Oil prices are declining. Investors hope lower oil prices will apply less upward pressure on inflation.   If the price rises above $18,638.83 the price will form a bullish breakout pattern which indicates upward movement. However, for a stronger and longer-term bullish trend, investors will be keen for the price to increase above the 75-Bar EMA and 100-Bar SMA. These two moving averages are currently priced at $18,658.28 and $18,733.30. Always trade with strict risk management. Your capital is the single most important aspect of your trading business.
