The transition to Futures trading


Yes, i get that...although your rendition does resemble a viagra add i saw once...Maybe i can find a practical example...
 
Here's another one that i see sometimes, a strong impulsive sort of move, followed by a little consolidation then a break out to a measured sort of move, then a fail all the way back to the consolidation, sometimes lower again...

As i was MS Painting the HSI just did exactly that!!

This may be what you have got there CanOz, watch out for the little sucker up turn in the middle at "b".

The way it's drawn there, it's a head and shoulders reversal, one of the most reliable patterns in the book.

You got any stats on that? Personally I reckon its just more TA myth. For which I have some stats. I followed the H $ S thread somewhere on here and it was running at a absolutely miserable 16% win rate and then the avg win was only 1:1!. Basically F'n hopeless "pattern".
 

You show me your stats and then I'll show you mine.
 
OK FTSE boys where are you?

Last two days have been pretty bullish, finished a long way off its lows, leads me towards a bullish bias, especially with asia being decently strong today.

Trade what we see I guess!

My Goose is bearish, but my Grail is bullish! This means that I'm having an each way bet at present.
 
Choppy slow day of trade, maybe a test of 6532...

miserable Monday...

Edit, two more targets on the lower side, are 6517 and 6510
 


Any of you paint gurus care to comment on when you would've exited my last trade of this arvo?
Tried to explain a little of what I was thinking process wise during the trade. And obviously a better scenario would be to take one off and leave a couple to run but just don't have that available to me..yet!
 
Haven't been on much boys!

Been focusing on my momentum portfolio at the moment.

Will be back on the futures a bit more at some point soon.
