Bottled it first, had a sip later
Could not get my mind and mouse hand to work in unison this morning despite looking forward to dealing and feeling confident and refreshed.
To wit: Initially the cable retreating from what looked like overnight resistance around 1.6760 /65 had fairly obvious support likely at 20-ish offered. It did (18 bottom) but I did nothing. Stalled around 35 offered – the resistance on the yin candle just completed – and a buy around 30 seemed the best should entre. It fell to 28 offered and again did nothing.
Maybe it all happened a bit to quickly – the first signal got hit about two minutes after I sat down and printed out my chart. Perhaps needed more time after the weekend. Who knows but I was surprised and disappointed
Meanwhile the dlr-swiss was falling from a rally stopped by overnight highs. Anything below 25 bid –where it had previously bounced was a sell. Did nothing until 1.3091 and then panicked out of it on a bounce from 81 to 89. Took two and dlr-swiss promptly fell in the 70s (and down to test 00 later) while cable pushed for a bridgehead in the mid 50s. Sigh, try again later.
Obviously the cable had a super run this morning from the very point I highlighted as support to 1.6870.
Bit before 1400, it is dodging about with a yin candle resistance having come off the top with support likely – if needed – about 20. On a dip go long at 1.6834 and watch somewhat crestfallen – what have I been trying to discipline myself about these last few weeks? -- as the 20 support comes into play. Bounces to early 30s offered and back down. This time it is more positive (didn’t buy again at the bottom; confidence a bit frail today) and into the money. The target is a profit of 20 (ie 54 bid). In due course it arrives, snout snaps shut and off to sit in the sun, 22 points to the good.
Not brilliant but after bottling (or something) earlier, some satisfaction beyond the numbers.
Om shanti.
