Ok, I'm back!

 

I am STILL long from 213.85 (yesterday I think - I've been sitting on this trade so long I forgot when I entered!) and it looks like I will be in till post-NFP... So to bring things up to speed...

 

Long GJ @ 213.85

Stop @ 212.25

 

Looking for (hopefully!) a break of 215, then even 215.90/216 if possible...

Wasp, are you trading in this direction based on any fundamental theories? Hoping, perhaps, that the Japanese housewives are able to pull rank?

 

I'm curious because fundamentally, it looks like GJ may illustrate some further weakness, given how precarious Great Britain's economic outlooks is. Aren't they thinking of cutting rates soon, or is inflation so horrid that they have no choice but to hold the line?

I am long off support and waiting for a rejection of resistance at IMO, 215 or, a break of the support that got me into this long in the first place!

I think you'll find that wasp doesn't give a **** about fundamentals ;)

Yip... I kind of figured as much. Hey, that's cool. I know several traders who could care less about fundamentals and do just fine. I personally can't do that. I require a fundamentally slanted view of the market. That's just me.

 

Whatever works...

Nope. Well, whilst I am aware of this credit crunch thingy, I tip my hat to anyone who can actually make consistent profits through fundamentals. Not my way though.

Are you aware of when specific news will print and do you care about how the data print compares with consensus? Or is that all just noise?

I know that major news comes out at half 8 and half 1 UK time but that's the extent of my attention. I've tried both and TA always just works best for me, regardless of the news. I am in the camp of the chart leading the market and the news uncanilly tying in nicely. Normally!

Thanks for the clarification. You do what works and that's all that matters.

Exited for -30

Shorted @ 213.55 (on the 4hr candle whilst trying to sleep so you had no hope the post would be made live!)

 

Well done cowpip, you were correct but stats wise, I am happy to take the loss regardless, still got plenty of edge!

Thanks for that, Wasp.

 

I have gone short GJ at 212.75 at resistance. Stop: 213.05

 

Nicely done. I did something similar but had my nieces here today so not had a chance to post.

Closed my short (didn't call it so won't mention the pips - +30 btw!)...!

 

Long GJ @ 212.29

Stop @ 211.69

 

 

Nice call, Wasp! You obviously saw and/or felt something I didn't.

You have a fetish for 215, don't you? ;) kidding...

 

I'm going to hold this short for now and see where the 4-hour candle closes (I'm one hour off of you on my charts - my 4-hour closes one hour before you). My chart suggests this may just be a retracement back through the last 4-hour candle. If there is any real intent to push this lower, it should occur within the next hour or two. I'd like to base my decision on how the current 4-hour candle closes.

 

If we extend the last move down further (from the last swing high near the resistance around 70/80), we end up with a measured target very close to my next marked support level around 211.60/70. BUT, it first has to break and hold that tough support level at 212.20.

I was obviously looking the wrong support line. It should have read, the next measured lower is close to the support line I have marked around 210.40. Sorry. But it has a looong way to go to get there.

Very sorry to hear that, Wasp. It really sucks when mistakes creep into profits.

 

I've closed my trade for +60 and I'm now long GJ from 212.04, with a very tight stop at 211.89 in case this current hourly inside bar breaks lower. Price action is looking a bit tired going lower. We'll soon see.

Oops... typo... that should be long from 212.09, not 04. Bloody high spreads during the Asian session certainly don't make this easier.

 

Edit: Looks like I may be wrong on this one. I'll let it go overnight. Time for some sleep. Happy hunting, Wasp.

Well in the end I should have stayed short as the next candle confirmed it but that prior one still said long to me. Once broken 212.20 though it was an easy clear run to 210.66 for sure.

 

Unlucky cowpip, what made you go long there?

 

Short from 212.08 in the end (as visable on the chart)

    • 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.
