First trade of what I HOPE will be a profitable week.. LONG 393 Stop 363 Target 483

EDIT..That good old Zuke specialty that I like to lecture newbies against doing..trading against the trend!!

Guys..Anyone use Oanda? On my charts, I make the daily low 363 but my 363 stop wasn't triggered 🙄 🙄

 

[FetteredChinos]

dailyfx has the low at 362..

i wouldnt complain really, as you got a lucky escape..

you are going to be stopped out before 6pm though 🙂

What do you mean with "hourlies turn up"? Do you use MA/EMA?

 

[FetteredChinos]

no, i mean that the hourlies start forming patterns of higher highs and higher lows..

at the moment we are getting lower lows..but it looks like that is about to change..

Well Ive closed this for a "gain" of 7 pips. I've either got an angel looking over me or need to go out and buy some lottery tickets!

Im keep expecting my phone to ring and a guy from Oanda saying "give us our pips back".

Thats what I thought..maybe they'll adjust my account later on.

You're All Better Men Than Me

Even when the price started to move up at about 2:30, I still had no solid 'feel' or systemic indication and especially no desire to enter this market.

I can't remember such a nasty spiky little bar steward.

The fact I haven't taken a trade today on Cable, nor likely to if it maintains it's long-tailed-ness, I am viewing as successful adherence to my trading methods for this instrument.

However, as per the title of this post, if any of you have managed to take money today so far on Cable, and done so other than through pure luck, you are indeed a better man than me.

edit: defn:spiky

Although there were a couple of 'interesting' spikes (09:30 & 13:30) I mean by spiky that on the 5 min chart for most of today's bars, the real body was relatively small in comparison to the wick (for candlers) or the open-close was narrow in relation to the high-low (darksiders and unwashed). And by relatively I mean for Cable based on the last few weeks. Think that covers everything...

 

[dc2000]

Nah if it didnt get filled at that level then no probs

 

[eatontrade]

I'm short @33 for a cheeky little punt on it not getting past 445 resistance. stop at 50


EDIT
Should add alos like short term studies turning over and hourlies getting up to over bought

 

[FetteredChinos]

good work tony...🙂 being out when it is like this is probably for the best..

am hoping for a bit of downwards movement into the US close though...

currently -2 units for the day...could do with turning that positive before hometime... 🙂
