Reading Charts in Real Time

Recommended Posts

hi thales,

 

just wondering if last week's action took you out of your USDJPY trade? According to my spot feed, friday's low was below the previous month's low?

Appologies for not being able to post much, I've been busy with uni projects. Have been following as much as possible though.

 

Cheers

Current view of the USDJPY monthly. I have been posting this as ti develops since the beginning of the year. Last month the long entry triggered, after which price declined below entry testing some near term support better seen on daily charts, and it is now poised more or less at entry. Blue is entry, red is stop loss (which could probably be moved up to just beneath last month's low), green are profit targets ...

I've been trading this using the 6J, and I have been flipped out several times over the last few months taking some small cuts along the way. I'm currently flat and waiting for a new a new low on the 6J (which would correspond to a new high on the spot USDJPY) before making another attempt.

 

Best Wishes,

I'm heading out and will not be back until this evening, so I am not able to trade today, but it sure looks like the ES has the makings of a trend day, though we have to await whether it is trend up or down. It could just be a range day, but it sure feels like it is waiting to rip roar one way or the other. At this point, the path of least resistance appears to be down, but it has been a strange market that has lately delighted in the unexpected.

Pretty volatile PA on the EUR/USD today!

 

I wonder what's going on. I've attached a 1min chart. Crazy moves and wide spreads (I'm constantly getting 2+ pip spreads with MB Trading!).

Thales, can't even begin to thank you enough for this thread! I'm only about 60 pages deep, but believe I have heard the things I needed to hear to finally start turning my trading around. Many, many thanks.

 

Here is my 4th profitable trade this week that I just took.

Hi brave1,

 

You can thank me and the others who helped build this thread by doing just what you have the last few days - share you charts and pay it forward. I have pulled away from the markets lately by other business, but I'll be back, and when I am, I'll renew posting real time charts here. I hope you continue to do so as well.

 

Best Wishes,

 

Thales

In the spirit of all the good work Thales and others have put into this thread.

 

Red Arrow 1

 

Distribution

 

Red Arrow 2

 

More Distribution

 

Green Arrow

 

Price Stalls which means either 1. Distribution has exhausted itself or 2. It was not distribution but rather it was Accumulation.

 

Blue Box

 

Price settles into a range.

 

Green Buy Arrow

 

Is where the buyers took control and the trade was entered for a retest of the range highs.

 

Red Square

 

The trade was exited all out and closed completely at the close because the daily volume was not enough to warrant holding overnight.

    • 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. Remember, sometimes what you throw in the garbage is something that someone wishes ever to have.” – ElZee, Quora   Profits from free accurate cryptos signals: https://www.predictmag.com/
