Reading Charts in Real Time

Recommended Posts

I pulled up crude for the first time over the weekend and just threw some S/R up there to see how it reacted to them today..and damn!

 

Look at CL at the last two day's prior highs:

I have to leave right now to help some people with something and I'll be back later...

 

Here's how the EUR/JPY is looking to me now...of course it may climb higher before declining and breaking the low (it's obvious how the SL & targets would be adjusted accordingly).

 

We'll see how it looks when I get back. It is getting later and later, though (the later it gets, the less confident I am in an impending significant move)...

 

I'm back...following up...here it is now (the last image)...never amounted to much...and it's too late in the day to consider a trade now.

Way late on the post ... but I was on time with the post pointing that crude was at its highs. So, take it for what you will. If its not real time enough for you, scroll on. The second short from 74.91 has a current stop at 74.79, price is at 74.75

 

Best Wishes,

The blue/red/purple lines where much better than those triangles.

 

I posted the trades so long after the fact that I figured I should exercise a little "CYA" in case the ninja-experts were out and about.

Took you long enough to see the light.

 

Just send 20% of profits to my paypal and we will call it even.

 

As I am currently sim trading crude, I'll need access to your sim paypal account.

 

Best Wishes,

Good first reaction from S yday. Unless it is totally obvious, I won't be buying there unless it makes a new low, preferably below 1.5833. I'm keen to look for shorts in the immediate R and of course in the lower edge of that main R zone we just exited from last week. Shorts in the zones are scaled out less aggressively in 1/4ths, longs more aggressive in 1/2s, anything else is scalps (20-40'ish pips) with all in, all out.

Current view of the ES ... something like that ...

 

I posted this potential short on the ES this afternoon ... it never triggered. Just so that there is no misunderstanding - we try to post trade opportunities in this thread before they trigger. This means that some will not trigger. In this case, a short entry would have been filled on a sell stop placed a tick below the blue line. Price never traded below that point, and instead, made new higs above what would have been the stop loss level. No harm, no foul.

Crude has traded to and through two more previous daily highs tonight, and each offered an opportunity to scalp some decnet R/R. I did not trade either of these real or demo, and I am posting this chart just to make the point.

Hi Thales,

 

Thanks for posting the reply about the leverage of the OIRCL experiment. I now better understand what you are up to. I hope my query wasn't perceived as interrogating or chastising, it was mere curiosity.

 

With kind regards,

MK

No problem at all, MK. My horns are still a bit twisted, but not by you or any of the thread's regular participants.

 

Best Wishes,

 

Thales

The markets are sorta idle at the moment so I wonder if I can toss a question at you? In talking about trading off various degrees, I think I have seen you mention that it is a mistake to enter off the smaller degree and manage it from the smaller degree (or was it manage from the larger degree?) with the intent of trading for the larger degree. You said something like most do that way and it is a mistake. I wonder if you could elaborate on that thinking?

 

Cheers,

MK

    • 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.
