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: 9th May 2024.   Market Insights: The BOE’s Potential Dovish Pivot and Current Indications.     The Bank of England is in focus as the regulator will confirm their rate decision and how their future monetary policy path may look. The GBP trades sideways but the FTSE100 continues to trade higher. Economists are contemplating if the market is pricing a dovish tilt by the BOE. The Dow Jones was Wednesday’s best performing index, rising 0.48%. The DJIA’s best performing stock was Amgen which rose 2.33%. Federal Reserve members continue to apply further pressure on the market’s sentiment with more indications that inflation is too high. GBPUSD – Investors Focusing on A Potential Upcoming Dovish Pivot! The GBPUSD trades sideways and did not form a significant trend the day before. This morning the price trades slightly in favour of the US Dollar, however most institutions are waiting for confirmation from the Bank of England on monetary policy adjustment. The price movement will depend on the future guidance of the Governor and the Monetary Policy Committee’s votes.   The market is expecting the interest rate to remain at 5.25%. However, there’s anticipation that regulators may hint at upcoming monetary policy easing, potentially impacting the Pound. Analysts anticipate a shift to a “dovish” policy this year but differ on timing. Most foresee changes in June or August, possibly with two 25-point rate cuts. The price of the GBP will depend on when the BOE will indicate a rate cut is likely. If 1 or 2 members of the MPC vote for a cut and the Governor advises they are now considering a cut, then the GBP potentially could decline based on a June rate cut. Market participants are anticipating a dovish indication due to inflation declining for 3 consecutive months and declining to a 32-month low. In addition to this, the UK’s employment change has weakened for 2 consecutive months as has the UK GDP growth. Traders can see the market is pricing a dovish indication due to the GBP’s decline over the past 3 days as well as the bullish price movement seen on the FTSE100.   USA30 – When Will The Buy Signal Again Become Active? The Dow Jones was the best-performing US index as investors increased their exposure due to its connection with defensive stocks. 70% of the Dow Jones’ components rose in value and the best performing stocks were Amgen, Boeing and JP Morgan which all rose more than 2.00%. The next influential earnings report for the Dow will come from Home Depot next Tuesday morning. Investors are expecting a 23% rise in earnings compared to the previous quarter. In addition to this, analysts expect revenue to rise, and traders should note the company has beaten expectations over the past 4 reports. Home Depot stocks hold a weight within the Dow Jones of 5.78%.   The price of the index continues to trade above the 75-Bar EMA and above the “neutral” point on the RSI. These factors indicate buyers are controlling the market. However, this morning the price is retracing, therefore a buy signal will not be active unless the price rises above $39,091 which is the breakout level, or at least forms a bullish crossover (8-bar EMA & 18-bar SMA).
