Reading Charts in Real Time

Recommended Posts

GU closed last night. First target hit in down move for 92. Second part removed for 117.

 

If we were in a trendy zone I would probably have held the second but we are between major resistance areas on daily so I'm prepared to wait to break from that before pursuing long holds.

Short GU continues ... very Thalesy ...

 

That made me smile, which is something I very much enjoy doing. So thank you for the smile!

 

I had an event to attend last night, and I set a sell limit to get short the 6B at 1.5105. Much to my chagrin, I came home to find that that was the high tick and I did not get a fill on even one contract. I'm happy to see that you were able to take advantage of a such good opportunity.

 

Best Wishes,

 

Thales

fbo @ rtl purple channel line I am reversing my position (P/L-1.25 on first trade)

 

Mr_black,

 

Are you typically always in during RTH? In other words, is your method either long/short, never flat?

 

Best Wishes,

 

Thales

Hi Marko,

 

I am rather interested in your DAX cycles and sequences. If it's not too much trouble I wonder if you might post a little about them (perhaps just a sentence when you post the first DAX chart of the day). I get the impression it is kind of informal so perhaps thats not practical.

 

Cheers.

Oh dear, I just decided to post GU or EU charts to stay more in touch with the flow of discussion here.

I would prefer to postpone the DAX charts.

 

Kind regards,

Marko

GBP/USD begins to feel choppy to me, maybe too sensitive.

New low and test of 3 day low followed. Therefore no chop zone.

12:19 Too early, didn't wait for my colored bars; no idea why. Out with small loss.

 

12:55 It was the test of the three day low and the quick reaction.

I would like to second Blowfish's request concerning the DAX. I may not comment on your charts very often, and I have no plans to change my sleep schedule so as to allow me to trade the DAX AM session, but I do like to follow along with you. You are free to post whatever you like here - DAX, EURO, Pork Bellies, Beans, Crude Oil - nothing is off limits so long as it can be charted and traded.

 

Best Wishes,

 

Thales

You and Blowfish seem to like manifoldness as much as I do.

I'll switch back to FDAX from tomorrow.

 

Many thanks for your feedback.

I have a love hate relationship with the DAX....at the moment it's love. It does seem to exhibit schizoid tendencies now and then though. )

FDAX !! showed a very good example of TVGR today.

 

It opened with gap down (magenta) and closed the gap after seven bars.

TVGR states that only after a gap close within the first two bars, the direction

signal of the gap is neutralized.

 

FDAX responded with new 2 day low, but the strong uptrend gives FDAX

a new daily high now.

 

I'll not paint any hindsight signals, everybody could take profit during the day.

One trade today (well one winner, the other was a par).... again just lower high reversal trades... I took profit at prior Support after seeing prices stall and start to reverse there.... Again, hindsight is 20/20 and the thing caved but i'll take my little +12 profit and waltzed away.

 

:)

    • 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.
