The transition to Futures trading

Jump to new
What do you think of one like this Tech?

It's near previous resistance There was an upthrust followed by the circled no demand bar. Then it pushed up a little.

Is this usually enough to try a short on. Or would you wait for another little push up (test) of the high and then short?

A bit more difficult for me to conclude when it didn't top on huge volume.

More for future reference.

 
short at 6540.5

stop at b/e

Take a look at the 75 Tick chart and compare with the 1 , 3 or 5 min chart.

Can you see anything different ?

Out at 6520.5

Bugger .....
 
hope y'all had your stops tight on that one
 
That was a fun little play, the equivalent of a whole night of Forex in 45 mins

3rd or 4th its tested that low around the 6490 in the last week or so. Looks like its holding for now im contemplating a long
 
Kid,

with hindsight that last push has the two largest bear bars in the entire move, ergo its a sell climax.

It's also a wedge bottom, so you should get two legs up from there.

Looks like it's panning put that way.

I posted some huge reply but then the page expired which is super annoying.

I took a long @ 6512.5 entry was the 8.18 bar, I felt like it tested the lows and rejected pretty quickly.

Initial stop was a little wide for my liking so if this was real cash I'm not sure I would have taken it, interesting to observe what happens now.

EDIT: initial stop was 6495.5 now stop at b/e
 
Wow
Out for tea and boom!

Oh PAV
Go short!
 
Yes, interesting.

It was a double bottom from way back.

A wedge bottom from tonight.

A Sell Climax which equals exhaustion - end of trend

You have a trend line break and two higher lows

The only thing missing was a higher higher high and a real re-test of the 6490 level.

So, looking pretty good all in all, nothing is perfect.

Looks like its coming back to test your entry !!
 
I know you guys probably aren't into this , yawn.

But if you look at that chart I posted earlier, and start with those 3 turquoise lines in the middle and look right, do a little experimentation and you will see it's full of regular text book measured move patterns containing each of the pivot points.

Which of course provides potential profit targets.

I;ll shut up now.
 

Nice to see a tick chart Caveroute

Actually, nice to Ninja represented too...heaps of issues with the historical data server tonight...Z is not affected.
 



Maybe it's just a coincidence, again.
 
Hey, i'm hearing ya...price is always in a channel, i use 60m charts and channels, look for confluence.

Al Brooks stuff...basic price action
 
Just got home. Dam that big spike at the top and dam the fact I had to head out just before I could re-enter.

This has been a week of frustration so far. Need to keep being patient and wait for the next one now tomorrow hopefully!
 
Bit of a triangle top there before the rush down, Pav if you are trading I'm guessing you might have got a piece of that. Hope so. Volume didn't really diminish as the pattern formed so I let it go by, wish I had sold it now!

Just another perspective. I rarely give a toss about volume. I personally have never seen a bar complete and considering the action and market position gone "gee that was a surprise" or gee that was a signal I missed.

I actually think it is just another lagging indicator.
