week ending 17/09/2004
Hi,
Nicely volatile today with some useful swing trades.
Overall, I still think we're finishing 5 of C. The 5 itself is probably a triplet abc of small degree, there may be a small c up to finish it, I don't know.
Today was a day of playing resistive / supportive volume spikes using marketvolume.com. I'm not allowed to paste their graphs, sorry.
09:30 started off with a small gap up, I was expecting that c of 5 to come so felt quite comfortable with short term longs. Nice resistive spike for the high at 10:00 and another smaller (still significant) spike at 11:00. Expected a pull-back but unhappy with shorts for a while. Small supportive spike with oversold TA got my first long at 12:00 but an equal resistive spike got me out at 12;30 for +9. Looks like more pullback to come and looking for an equivalent supportive volume spike to compensate for the morning's resistive ones. Nice supportive peak at 13:45 got my next long but too soon, the next low showed as divergence on RSI and CCI with a cross over on MACD, so went for my second long. Oversold an hour later with a resistive spike larger than the originating supportive one, so was happy to close both longs for +22,+28. Towards the end of the day there was a wide increase in resistive volume, so decided to take a chance on one short. I don't mind the potential upside to 10350 from here as max risk for me, with mental stop at 10430. I'll keep this position for the long term I think, but we'll see. Just at the end of the day the market manipulators showed their true worth and presented a HUGE delayed resistive volume surge which is reported as highly significant.
Happy to keep one short position over the weekend.
Results today +59 for 3 positions; plus one short at break even carried over.
Results for the week +230 Dow points.
Gonna spend the weekend living normally for once, it's been a tiring week. 🙂
