November Trade



It's been a while since I posted anything. Sorry. Most blogs start off with good intentions to keep them up to date, but when you don't get any comments you tend to think it's only for yourself.

On to the trade. It's the typical setup with a signal alerting of an overbought condition after a strong move up for most of the Asian session. The question was whether price was looking exhausted at the R1 pivot or was it going to head higher to possibly the 38% fib at 161.35 or even as high as the weekly low at 162.15(sort of far away)? The RSI(14) on the 15-min gave it away with divergence. This means the RSI was at higher level for the earlier spike high and a lower level for this trade when price was higher. This is classic TA(technical analysis), mainly used with the MACD indicator though with other indicators as well. Entry was a short position at 161.18. Bought back(scaled out) 2/3 of position for +53 @ 160.65.

The trade is still running with a target(monthly low) of 160.47. Stop loss is at break even.

I didn't find much opportunity from a couple of hours before the London open through the lunch hour. I managed to scalp off about 25 pips on trades I thought had a decent chance of turning into a retracement moves on cable. No go. I've been concentrating on cable as my main focus lately. It might do me well to head back over to the geppy camp. It's been running pretty nice the last few sessions. I'll be keeping a closer eye on it this week. It's looking like the GM news of the Obama Administration rejecting their latest plan, yet offering more cash for restructuring(though not through bankruptcy) will take it's toll on the U.S. market Monday morning. Futures are already in substantial negative territory. There is a long shot outlook that the market could view it as a positive in that possibly more of the deadwood that's

I thought I should post couple of potential entries I spotted but did not enter . Both charts show the potential of price action trading even in tight markets. I generally keep a pretty simple chart with no indicators except a 50sma or 60sma, just horizontal support and resistance levels, previous day's high/low, previous week's high/low, previous month's high/low, and maybe some fibs or trendlines.
