@karaoke_andi They don't appear regularly, usually it's a daily or weekly set up. The gold short being a recent one I did well off. But not been easy of late to be honest as every day brings a new narrative or trump tweet. But eventually the environment will come back in my favour
@karaoke_andi Same in many European countries that have been taken over by the open border, net zero zealots all pushing the same agenda. The average person in the UK is increasingly financially strained, depressed and so sick of our politicians it will eventually boil over at some point
@karaoke_andi I prefer SRS as a continuation such as today. Dax already puking, plenty of chance to get short + add on the SRS or enter if you'd been hesitant. Weds for example, price action was chopping around the opening range so low probability. I watch the 1m for flags to hone entries too
Closed out three quarters today on the pump, nice little trade and no need to take unnecessary weekend risk. COT shows record shorts. Hopefully goes lower next week to reload with the idea being to try and catch a move up if the shorts unwind
Shorts on sugar near record levels. Often this occurs near turning points as no one left to sell and you can get a nice bounce as shorts have to unwind. Very good level above to target but as of yet no reason to enter. Worth putting on the watchlist and looking at each day
@LindseyGrahamSC I despise our government but perhaps they are wanting to avoid being led into another disastrous illegal Middle Eastern war? And this time the opponent has the ability to fight back
@FESX_Fiddler I do appreciate any and all views and opinions though. The only reason I post stuff on here is to learn more about my decision making in real-time, to look back on what I was thinking and improve on it. Some stuff works great, some stuff needs a LOT more work!
Dax in this broadening formation, would like to get back in short tomorrow and look for the year's opening range. Inflation data tomorrow could piss all over these bearish ideas so maybe have to get that out of the way first or size small
@FESX_Fiddler Cheers, that is a good observation. I believe that going into the day with a bearish opinion obscured my thought process. That said, it did run some 50pts in my favour initially, which would've been a nice quick trade, but I held + paid for it. But your thoughts are noted 👍
The anticipated set up occurred from the marked level, offering over 300pts. However as I was busy working I wasn't able to pay any attention to the US session unfortunately
Lovely set up on the Dow. False breakout, would like to retest that solid level from below and target the year's opening range. Looks very nice at the moment
Pleased with the exit, round tripped the entire move. Anyway, enough fooking around for tonight. Got solid plans for tomorrow which I posted earlier, let's see what happens
We're inside this gap on the Nikkei, if price hits the upper level around 57400 I would definitely look to try a short. Whether it gets there or not is another matter
And out for +250. That wasn't a bad trade I don't think, especially after messing up the original idea by dithering over 30 points around my entry. But you need to have some kind of rules of entry even if it means missing a monster move. At least I got in + out on my terms
