Yeah it looks pretty mixed. You can argue its an A_Up but we came off RTH R1 so quick and right back into the OR.

IBL also broken, probabilities that we break both sides of the IB are low if i remember correct (30% ish).

We are much closer to the overnight low than the overnight high, which is another reason I am thinking down is more likely.

Either way, its quite mixed and you can argue the long side too. I'm happy to wait for now.

indeed you can, stops below eth low.

This looks like a decent PA level 2248-2249 to look for turning points:



The long bias was cos even intra day levels were being defended last week - mid points in intraday even. Its a strong trend - had massive risk on momentum from oil, and reacted to it.

Just about to get stopped here.

thinking of going long here!

cant see this continuing a downtrend as far too many support levels.....but selling pullbacks would have been the strategy......i tried that last week and got cleaned out, but PA has been very different today (not inc ETH).

well i got one thing right. shame i got 3 entries wrong.

i am going to be super cautious from this point on til January, as think its bit dangerous around certain levels - some of the price action looks weird, and i may go into scalping mode for quiet times.

New swing trade rule: i can only buy/sell once at 1 level if i get stopped at it. If i scratch/win then i can re fade that level.

I was in meetings up til just now, i am ultra busy with other stuff, but should be back on this full time tmrw.

One thing I dont like about the internet - the amount of people who come out the woodwork eg long Oil over this weekend.....as soon as bullish news hits the newswire. Why not tell us when you put the position on?

Why suddenly get the urge to post this stuff esp if thats the only info you post along with it. All I can take from it is: you were punting. If its a long term strategy then fine, say that, and i will think you are silly for telling me you are trading a long term strategy but am focusing on weekend news, w/o mentioning risk factors etc.
