Potential USD/JPY short...

 

UPDATE: I got filled but not without 5.1 ticks of slippage!! Jeez... I guess it was because of the consumer confidence news. That's some of the worst slippage I've gotten. :(

 

FINAL UPDATE: Taken out for break-even. The dashed red line is closer to where the stop was actually placed, due to the 5.1 pips of slippage at entry, the 2.4 pip spread, etc.

Thanks for the reponses, iwshares & todds. I appreciate it.

 

I was just sitting here thinking and came to the realization that all I can do is my best...and hence my primary objective should just be to make my best better!

 

I can't get so mad at myself and upset as long as I'm doing my best. Hindsight's 20/20. I am well aware that I can't trade like Thales at this point, and I'll never trade perfectly...all I can do is my (current) best.

Potential GU long...

 

UPDATE: Taken out for a full loss (first one since I started trading/posting consistently a little over 5 weeks ago). You can imagine how I'm feeling right now.

Just reviewing my 1R loss and realized that I was basically going long a tick or so under resistance!

Have you considered trading on longer/different time frames to see if that helps. I trade base on te dailies and really appreciate the breathing room of the Market weekly close. Good work spotting why the trade stopped out, before placing one based on the same setup again

Well, I'm attempting to master day trading, so I pretty much just focus on the 15 minute chart as my primary chart. I like day trading because I feel like with more opportunities (vs swing or position trading), I'm getting more practice.

 

EDIT: I may someday be forced to focus only on much longer timeframe charts, though! ;)

Good job holding through those pullbacks. What made you hang in there this time?

 

I just had confidence in the trade I guess. It probably helped that I wasn't at my computer most of the time. I was checking in here and there but I wasn't watching every tick.

Potential EU long...

 

UPDATE: Filled for profit. Wow that was stressful holding through NFP! haha

 

UPDATE 2: Wow that profit target could not have been better placed! (I'm not taking credit...I know that was a little lucky! :))

I know it's early but I'm gonna go ahead and call it a week.

We had a holiday on Monday, then I had a rough start to the week but managed to make it back and then some. Still a whole lot of room for improvement. I'm getting good experience/practice, though. The drawdown and full 1R loss earlier in the week was probably a good thing because it forced me to experience the loss and move through it.

 

Have a good weekend!

Hi Folks,

 

I thought it would be interesting if we had a thread where we could all post charts of potential price moves in real time...

 

So the new management traded the old thread in for a dog ...

 

Well, she was a fine and good thread. I thank all of you who helped make her so.

 

Best Wishes,

 

Thales

Hey didn't mean to offend anyone here ... just that old thread was getting hard to navigate for people. Thanks for creating this great thread ... it isn't closed so you can continue to post on here if you want.

 

thanks,

MMS

    • Date: 24th April 2024. Market News – Stock markets strengthen as tech rally widens. Economic Indicators & Central Banks:   The bulls are back in town for now. Wall Street climbed, led by tech and especially the Magnificent 7 — all cohorts rallied, even Tesla which broke a 7-session losing streak even as its earnings news was awaited. US: The weaker than expected PMI data from S&P Global was the excuse needed to underpin a short covering rally in Treasuries after the big selloff in April. Record US Auction boosted demand! A well bid 2-year sale also added to the gains in Treasuries, while signs of future price pressures saw the long end underperform. Demand petered out into the finish, however, especially with the surge on Wall Street, and yields edged off their lows. Australia: The hot inflation print pointed to sticky local price pressures and reinforced the case for the RBA to hold rates at a 12-year high. The CPI rose to 3.6% y/y VS 3.5% estimate, while core CPI rose 4%, also higher than forecast and well above the RBA’s 2-3% target. Japan: Strong warning for intervention by officials. The BoJ is widely expected on Friday to leave policy settings & bond purchase amounts unchanged. NEW YORK (AP) — The Biden administration has finalized a new rule set to make millions more salaried workers eligible for overtime pay in the US. Financial Markets Performance:   The USDIndex slumped, falling to 105.39 largely on profit taking and as haven demand faded. USDJPY flirts with 155 after FM Suzuki issued the strongest warning to date on the chance of intervention, saying last week’s meeting with US and South Korean counterparts had laid the groundwork for Tokyo to act against excessive Yen moves. AUDUSD up for a 3rd day in a row, to 0.6528 amid a broadly weaker USD but also a strong Aussie post a hot inflation print. USOIL steady at $83 ahead of sanctions against Iran and shrinking US Inventories. Gold closed slightly lower at $2332, but off yesterday’s $2289 nadir. Market Trends:   The NASDAQ increased 1.59%, with the S&P500 up 1.20%, while the Dow rallied 0.69%. Dissipating geopolitical risks also supported. EU stock futures are posting gains, after a largely stronger close across Asia. Nikkei and Hang Seng gained more than 2% amid a strengthening tech rally. Australian shares underperformed. Tesla Inc. (+13.33% after hours) spiked after its statement for the launch of more affordable vehicles despite a sales miss. The stock halted a 7-day plunge, climbing alongside other members of the group. Microsoft Corp., Meta Platforms Inc. and Alphabet Inc. are also due to report earnings this week. Profits for the “Magnificent Seven” group — which also includes Apple Inc., Amazon.com Inc. and Nvidia Corp. — are forecast to rise about 40% in the Q1 a year ago, according to Bloomberg Intelligence data. The group of tech megacaps is crucial to the S&P 500 since the companies carry the heaviest weightings in the benchmark. Visa revenue advanced by 17% as Consumer Card spending increased.
