EJ feels like this so far........

 

 

what have you done with EJ? Its normally quite trendy.

 

not a good day. managed to get +20 (not shown on Live Trades) on GU.

 

It started to congest around 1.9560 so I bailed out, only to see it drop further.

So I missed out on making my +20 pips a day. Currently -13.

 

I may not post further trades, as I seem to be jinx myself.

But will post for rest of week, juts as experiment.

 

Hope the afternoon session helps me recoup something.

 

EDIT: CMC showing my +20. cant post as live trade.

Going by the ''busy day tomorrow'' thread mate, we are in the minority. With us being lowly retailers and only a chart as company, competing with GJ the bank trader and the US wealthy family of Anna/Jocelyn/Milliard and co with all the technology, news and prime access, we are at the lowest run of the ladder, indicators or price action!

 

As long as we are making money!

 

Don't think I will be as useful as I thought I may be here though! Keep too myself I think! :embarassed::embarassed:

Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit, but I can't help it! Of course it is pissing it down!

wasp, how do you draw your trend-lines?

 

I can see the levels, and am getting used to seeing them. I see them as tight Inside bars at extremes, waiting for an explosive break-outs.

I have begun to be wary of them, and over-ride my arbitrary MAs.

 

The trendlines I draw either by joining lows to lows, or highs to highs.

Havbe tried closes to closes, and get slightly variant lines, but nothing too different.

 

But, you seem to be joining closes to lows, etc.

 

I either use one method or t'other.

 

Have looked at your journal, but still not any the wiser.

 

I can see the 162.3 zone, and where we are now is the 50% retrace of that initial upmove.

 

EDIT: you have been very generous with your charts and views. You should demand that we show our working out first, just to check we are getting it right. Will try to post a S/R and TL chart soon.

GBPCHF. I dont trade it, but tis one you havent posted, so its all my own work.

 

Blue lines are 4-hr S/R lines. joining horizontally lines were most seem to hit.

 

the second chart is on 1-hrs. the yellow zones are tighter ranges relative to previous action, or outside bar with many bars action within it, also possible areas of breakouts.

 

the trendlines are high-high, and close-close. essentailly same angle, but at different places.

 

The ATR(4) is just to show low values, showing tight ranges.

 

sorry if I am going in different directions, but I reckon tight ranges indicate indecision, and likely places for decent breakouts, where I would set my MAs aside.

 

feel free to ridicule.

I'm not doing this for you to copy me Myrtle! the intention was to rouse discussion and for people to poke holes in what seems to me to be technical analysis 101. I don't mind of course if you do do the same but don't take this as me trying to post the holy grail, just musings for what I look at.

Attached my view of GBPCHF and slightly different. Will draw lines all over yours shortly and post it back up... see how we differ!

feel free to ridicule.

 

Tight ranges are nothing more than a lack of volume as its a public holiday here and over in the states is all. Just look at a larger view to see we are still closer to resistance (underneath) so as 9/10 price will go from level to level, EJ should still head for 162.30 imo.

 

I have also attached a view of the monthly charts of EJ using exactly same view plus an array or markets.

 

All use large frame supply and demand levels couple with shorter term trends for defining when supply/demand is taking over and getting the best entry possible.

At the moment, until a decent short trend line cross @ upper 163.04 region appears, I am still long from 162.73 as it became more of a solid level over the last few bounces...

 

Whilst larger TF's suggest down, I go by what the chart tells me so waiting for a break or rejection/crossover...

    • 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.
