I Love Virgins

Recommended Posts

I have this same journal at another trading message site but I like the people at this one better. Much more willing to help one another here. So...I am duplicating my thread here.

 

Anyway, the title. I love trading virgin approaches to established (by me) support and resistance levels. I define virgin as a level that has not been revisited since it was created and do not count levels created in the current session. I also do not give as much weight to virgins that have been violated in the overnight sessions.

 

My vehicle of choice is the 10 year (ZN) although I have been known to occasionally trade other markets if a pretty virgin entices me (6E,CL, ES).

 

I'll be posting virgins the night before I see them and try to update the levels every morning.

 

I'll be posting tomorrows virgin plays as soon as I finish reviewing the profiles.

Virgins - young fresh and clean.

 

ES /Buy @ 110300

ZN Buy @ 117'04 and at 116'30

 

There is another virgin at 117'07 but I usually discount virgins as wannabes that have been probed once price comes within 4 ticks. During RTH's price went to 117'08.

It will be nice to see that chart to show your method of locating these untested "virgin" levels. Do you derive them from swings at HUP levels produced from previous day SDs from your market stats?

In any event for the ES I see a “classic” virgin POC working in that price level you mentioned. This may or may not be what you have in mind.

Here is an example of what I'd consider a "virgin exploration" if you will of a prior Trend Channel Line. I don't know what you'd call it after it was pierced to the upside, but the first touch was the virgin is shown on the chart.

Ok - there was a nice virgin trade in ZN this morning but once the virgin is violated my charting platform won't show her anymore so.... I found a couple of ES virgins. The first time - AND FIRST TIME ONLY - the virgin is penetrated fade with a tight stop.

So buy virgin @ 111750 and when she's done if there is time buy another virgin @ 111425.

 

Virgins are good until violated so if we don't get to them today they will still be good tomorrow.

Question:

 

If you are picking virgin POCs off that come from RTH, and one of them is penetrated over night for example, is that POC still valid and virgin?

 

I personally don't mess with virgins that have been fooling around overnight. It is interesting to note that the virgin 1114 held overnight.

So you are saying that if you have a virgin that was created with the RTH data.... and then if that level is penetrated overnight, you don't look at it anymore?

Not saying I won't look at her but from my brief experience the virgins are much more likely to hold up if they have NEVER been revisited after being formed. So I would prefer to fade a pristine virgin.

 

This is just how I play em - but this is not a concept I invented so you might find differing opinions.

    • Date: 14th May 2024. Market News – May 14. Economic Indicators & Central Banks:   Asian stocks and European futures kept to small ranges as focus turned to upcoming US inflation reports. JGB yields surged to their highest levels in over a decade amid growing speculation that the BOJ might raise interest rates soon. Former central bank executive Momma stated that the BOJ might opt to deduct its planned bond purchases next month in an effort to revive a bond market that has been largely impaired by its ongoing substantial purchases. BOJ Governor Kazuo Ueda emphasized the importance of the market determining long-term yields independently rather than relying solely on the central bank’s actions. UK wage growth remained solid amid a slowdown in the job market, providing further arguments for the BOE’s monetary policy hawks to await more concrete signs of easing inflationary pressures before considering interest rate cuts. Eyes today are on producer price data in the US, followed by consumer price data the next day, which will provide insights into whether the Fed will consider interest rate cuts later in the year or postpone them until 2025. Financial Markets Performance:   The USDIndex is steady at 105 lows. The Yen extended losses for an 8th day against the Greenback to a 2-week low. Currently USDJPY is at 156.45. EURUSD rebounded slightly to 1.0785, however overall holds within a downwards channel with key resistance at 1.0850. USOIL held steady ahead of the release of an OPEC market outlook, with traders eagerly awaiting signals regarding the extension of supply curbs. Despite a decline since April, oil prices have remained relatively high this year due to ongoing supply restrictions by OPEC and its allies, with expectations that these curbs will be prolonged into the second half of the year. Currently USOIL is at $77.78. Gold (-0.93%) declined further to $2338 per ounce. Copper rose at +2.46% and Platinum +0.54%. Market Trends:   The 10-year JGB yield to a 6-month high of 0.965%. The 2-year JGB yield, which closely reflects policy expectations, rose to 0.340%, its highest since June 2009. The 20-year and 30-year JGB yields also surged to their highest levels in 11 years and since July 2011, respectively. FTSE100 stands by record highs, the S&P500 is close to topping March’s record high. The Nasdaq rose by 0.3%, with four of the Magnificent Seven stocks rising. The Hang Seng has added 20% in a rally that is entering a fourth week. Alibaba and Tencent report earnings later today. Always trade with strict risk management.
