Out 34366

The mark of a professional, however, sounds like this:

         It is my fault.  I traded this position too large for my account size.

         It is my fault.  I didn’t stick to my own risk parameters.

Yup, if chart tech is anything to go buy.

 

BBand (on dailies) is reached at 34800 (J200) - called it earlier, which coincides with the Futures value mentioned

 

 

Then head to 35000.

I am talking about June13 Alsi future

I'm going to take a shot in the dark here.

I think we might go down to about 34500 if we go down at all.

Then head to 35000.

IMO, everything is pointing to a higher day again.Bad jobs data should just reassure everyone that QE will continue 


Good morning

Agreed Jake.
For those trading Top40 cfd's through IGM, it is looking as if we will start with an 8:30 upward correction spike ( at this point ).

Well traders, here we are again...bullish and bearish expectations. Non-farm payroll figures from the USA later. Nikkei closed but Hang-Seng up. NZ top 50 down. DJ Futures slightly red. Which ever way it goes, may we end the week with some profit the pocket!!! Great day to all. :)

Some trading perspectives 101:

 

1. No one person or institution is 100% correct, 100% of the time.

2. Trading success is the positive nett effect of your profits and losses

3. You can not blame, shame or accuse anyone one for the lack of profitable trades

 

With that out the way, one thing is very clear:

 

Jakes, you are correct about QE, it does seem to make null and void wave-trading or even long-term technical charting analysis. One big but... BUT

 

What I am seeing, any hype and bullish trends are very short lived and need constant reaffirming and vocal motivation and actioning from the big boys and governmental institutions.

 

My dilemma: I am divided between the charts (dailies) that tell me ALSI is well on its way to 34800, by when it will then only reveal the next move, be it up or down.

The alternative, moving from the charts to (fundamental?) seasonality, ALSI must retract tomorrow, substantially.

 

Argento, what is your take on today's happenings? I am sure even the big boys are confused, unless they purely trade by techs.

I think I called this market to keep going up more than 2 weeks ago, if I am correct. And it will probably go higher still, no matter what news, if QE is on the table, markets will go up, you cant fight central banks.

 

(and I dont think cycle analysis work)

Thanks, I presume my analysis looks ok then....

Did you see the giant bullish engulfing daily candles on both NPN and WHL ? Lol... I've just learned that in an uptrend , the continuation probability is 63 % . Apparently much lower when in a downtrend.

YES you are right this market is goiing up , got trapped in short hoping for BWE but same as last week market just goes up
