Hi Traders
I did short wheat and coffee last night but already got out from wheat with small profit. Coffee running well so i will try to ride along as much as possible without giving back too much profit.




did a Long copper but not working well and i am out for now. still looking for long though


i do have some expectation to play along today, take note i m Long bias on ES but short bias on NQ.




short bias on crude


Short bias on Euro


short bias on natgas


short bias on 30 years



the easiest way to understand how i trade:
in short, trade breakout, add on strength/support, ride the trend using information from new box (new value area).

i try to take small risk, abt 30% of daily ATR, when i have breakout from value area ( BOX) from both my timeframe ( h1 & h4) AND i have good reference for small stop ( technical hi/lo of brekaout bar or box levels). and i use timeframe confluence and momentum (navigator) as filter.
by doing this and build up positions along the way, i believe there is positive edge.

cheers
DarrenC

Hi Traders
as planned, i took a short on NQ:


lets see how it play out....
A trade is no a market call, it is just a probabilistic choice with calculated risk management...

Hi Traders
last night NQ Short i manage to keep it alive and now it is moving again. ALso, i Shorted Natgas 2x last night, added one more today before regular open, was looking to add more after regular open but price started moving bfr that so i only have 3x running. will have to tighten up soon and push stops into positive zone.





other markets that i am looking today:








good luck!
cheers

Hi Traders
My NQ Short did survive through the volatility... exited at small profit.


My natgas Short run pretty well, waiting to scale out now



I got into Wheat long also but looks like it is not going anywhere untill the report end of month.





The rest of the market:
I am now looking at Euro for a Short signal


Copper for a short signal also



30 years for a short signal


and depend how it goes i may add on to my natgas short if price go below and close below 3.012 area



cheers
DarrenC

for the rest of the market:

i am looking for Long oppty from Copper


waiting for Short on Soybean
