Week 16 Pick - Palladium

My pick is going to be a repeat of last weeks one. Which is shorting Palladium again. I took profits on the close Friday in my personal account as I thought there was a risk of a bounce on Monday as a lot of things closed at key support levels on Friday so I'm going to be watching the dollar pairs and Gold and Silver for my cue of when to get into it this week.

Order Type: Warehoused

Ticker: Palladium June Contract
Direction: Short

Warehoused Entry: Somewhere below the downtrend line at 750 or on a breakdown below 680

ATR (200 Day): 17.2
ATR (52 Week): 45.8
 
Long QQQ @ 58.40
Stop @ 58
Target 60.8

Reward/risk - 6:1

Reason for trade:
Nasdaq composite seems to be in a tight triangle formation with a potential for a break higher.

Hi Guys,

The US$ index has closed up through a key level and commodities have repsonded inc softs / energy / metals.

Nasdaq has closed below the last 14 days trading. I've closed several long stock positions and waiting to get short gold, coffee, beans and oil on signals this week. I will scan for US stock shorts tomorrow. FTSE has signalled short term sell signal also.

But for this weeks trade the GBPJPY is the highest probability trade I can find with my spec.

GBPJPY daily (short)
broken 50% fibs
broken trendline
3rd leg down

entry: 130.90
stop: 132.80
target: 125.20

Good luck everyone.

Mike :clover:

Just a quick note for everyone that I've decided to change the start time of the competition each week to include the early trading on Sunday night. Different markets open at different times but people can start entering trades from 9.30pm (BST) on Sunday night. This may have some teething problems as it can be hard to get prices on certain things in the early trade, but I'm sure it will be fine.
 
It's time for the normal reminder to get your picks in by Midnight (BST) tonight. As I said in the earlier post you can now open positions from as early as 9.30pm (BST) tonight but I'll still accept picks for the competition until the normal time.

Week 16 Trades

So another week is under way. Attached the list of trades so far but there might still be some late entries, so I'll update it if there is. But it's another good mix of trades with 2 fx, 2 indexes, 1 commodity and 2 stock picks.

Fingers crossed for another strong week like last week. Good luck everyone (y)
