Nice one. Wave 4/5 by the end of the week?
The only thing I see is that the whole market is expecting large amounts of shorts at ~4000...isnt that inviting a squeeze? I'm a novice so...fairly clueless!
Tonight I demand the finest wines known to humanity...only 4 euros from my local french off license

Hi there,
Just want to clarify something about this trade. This is a set-up called a 1-2-3 and has nothing to do with Ellliott Waves. It's purely a trade based around (in this case) an uptrend, followed by a retracement and then a break of the previous high. It has a pretty high probability but the key, IMO, is to make sure you have the R/R spot on - this needed a 55 point stop (text book should have been 95 but I 3767 has been a strong number hence I placed my stop there to lower the risk) but, as you can see, it has returned more than this. If you're interested in 1-2-3's I would recommend having a read of this - http://www.trade2win.com/boards/price-volume/13451-1-2-3-formations-ross-hooks.html as an excellent place to start. You can find these on all time frames and all markets but I never trade lower than 1H and only use it with indices. They do take time to work though so you need to be patient. This one fully retraced and took out my B/E stop but I got another crack at it - the lesson was that I moved my stop up too soon.
Hope this helps
Rob
P.S. Can you send a bottle over this way

yes indeed, he certainly gave good advice
Hey Wallstreet
What broker do you use? Would your barclays trade have been closed now as its gone 16.30 in UK?

Hi there Richard,
I don't I'm afraid. I'm a great fan of these though - if you look at the FTSE 1H over the past couple of days there have been quite a few opportunities to get in - essentially you're trading the break-out from a previous high. As I think I said before it's all about the R/R ratio as the stops can be pretty massive - you need to know where you think price may reverse. I'm too new to this game to be giving advice but any info you can't find on 1-2-3's on T2W, I would just google.
Bye for now
Rob

hi wallstreet cool thread.
i traded the ftse today when the s&p fell out of its upward triangle @ 764 (rolling price) around 18.00 pm GMT.
closed for a tidy profit.
interesting to see which trendline holds the ftse up with one not too far away and the other way down in the 3733.
again interesting to see if the 1 trendline left holds the s&p up.
channel on ftse is pretty standard.. channel narrows on the s&p.

I often read blogs around the net to understand the goings on in the world. Jesse's Cafe Americain is pretty good. Whilst you are on the subject of the S&P why not check out his analysis. He is well respected, there is a graph included with the below text so I include the link:
Jesse's Café Américain
SP Futures Hourly Chart at 3:45 PM
The rally is looking a bit toppy but its not dead yet.
Watch the changing slopes of the support and resistance channels. If they keep rolling over and the SP breaks that key support at 740 it could be a real sleigh ride lower back down to 700.
The VIX was elevated all day, even at the high, so there is your 'tell' in addition to the shift in the trend channel to a softer slope.
Chances are they dump the market overnight if that is what is going to happen. But until there is a break through 740 this is just a pullback. We'll have to consult with other short term indicators to see if this is a top, or just a bear trap pullback.

I closed my S&P around 756 for a teeny weeny profit whilst having a very nice conversation with Mr Squirrel.
I thought I would close my S&P position as there may well be an asian sell off overnight and I'm worried about the DAX breaking 4000....
It allows me to start fresh on the morrow
BUT, I still have my barclays short that is still alive
looking forward for a gap down
