Reasonably simple trading

[WadeGrimm]

Out for lunch break now with an order to sell Brent Oil at 4477.

 

[WadeGrimm]

Pulled that order, again didn't get the pullback I wanted and the move's gone too far now.

In some situations I'll scale into a trade like that early, but not in this case.

 

[WadeGrimm]

1431 EURAUD sell at 16246.1.

 

[WadeGrimm]

Stop was the standard 30pts but having seen the trade hit +40 stop is now in at B/E.

Target is +50.

 

[WadeGrimm]

1618 Bought Brent Oil at 4446.

Stop 30 / Target 50.

Invalidated if close below 4425.

 

[WadeGrimm]

Out of EURAUD at target for +50.

Stop to B/E on the Brent trade now, not quite +40 yet but it's late in the day.

See attached Relative Strength 5 min chart - courtesy of @NVP...AUD beginning to come off the boil....relatively

 

[WadeGrimm]

1845 Manually closed Brent trade for +30, don't want to be watching it any more really.

+59.1 today and +86.4 on the week so far.

Blimey, I'd have a seizure watching that all day

Nah, it's fine as long as you keep taking the meds.

1106 sold EURAUD 16277.3.

Resistance in this case 16275 quarter-point in confluence with PATE R1 pivot, also stayed off next resistance.

Stop 30 / Target 50

Invalidated if close above 16300.

 

[WadeGrimm]

Correction, target is 30pts on this one. I don't rate quarter-points quite as strongly in terms of resistance.

Here's a 4 hour RS chart ( no drugs required) followed by a 5 min.

 

[WadeGrimm]

Still holding EURAUD short due to the instant rejection of 16300 (did not close above).

Thanks

Anything that isn't on my charts is usually noise to me to be fair, but I like to still learn - what are the green and red zones?

Yes, sorry, I didn't mean to hijack yr journal - just thought the RS context might be of interest. @NVP is a demon scalper and has been doing well for donkey's years using an approach based on relative strengths; his thread is worth a look even if it's not your thing.

Green and Red zones: just supply and demand.... or support and resistance, if you prefer. I was going to post you a p&f chart showing some s&r zones and that the 300 number is sort of pivotty ....but decided that might really p*** you off

 

[WadeGrimm]

Closed EURAUD for -24.1 while out on a walk, might have saved a half-point or so if i'd been at my desk but never mind!

 

[WadeGrimm]

Slow stuff today, patience required.

Have actually done 8 trades in 4 days which is about average, hasn't felt like it though. Seems to have been a slooooow week.

EDIT miscounted, it's 7 trades

 

[WadeGrimm]

DAX is maybe of interest if back above 13150 but much else on the horizon right now.

1452 Bought GBPAUD 18158.4

Stop 30 Target 50
