Griz, I have been thinking about it.....using the Daily HH/HL/LH/LL (your example on Silver) when applied to S/R as a method of 'getting early' is quite nice. Its something I might look at providing it is in-line with COT bias etc as you mentioned. ...

Yeah looks logical, I would say 1550-1500 as a broad 'zone'. If we clear this zone then 1700 is next.

GBP/AUD - Closed for 1R Loss

I got long Soybeans the other day. I also like Wheat if we break above 800 I am long also. Sugar still has my attention.......I'm still bullish but am being cautious.

Yup, that one fooled us all. I got stopped out today. I was a little reluctant to enter it but it just presented so well with all the reasons you state. That's trading.....

AUD/USD I believe you can be "Long and Bearish" or "Short and Bullish" at the same time. This is not all that unusual when you think about it. This is one of those situations. My COT bias is Bearish for AUD. My current positioning is Long AUD (Long ...

I certainly do not mind. We are very much on the same page with how we look at fundamentals. I will expand a bit more in a post soon. Mike

Long orders filled last night.

Further to this post I have placed orders for a Buy in this market. An aggressive entry is very possible about today's pin bar (also an outside day) however I am going easy on this one and buying a breakout above 800 (123 pattern). This is inline ...

GBP/AUD This is a swing trade that I just took. It is in-line with my COT AUD strength (for the time being) bias. I had the GBP flash a few sell signals (against NZD, CAD and AUD) but this looked to be the best one. It would appear to be a commodity ...

Griz, Firstly, I would not have placed that order on Silver as this market was not setup for me. However, the placement of those orders as you describe is sound. A little more aggressive than I like but correct none the less. As far as learning this ...

O, I am actually leaning towards the bullish side on Gold (not so much silver atm). As I see it the COT data is starting to favour the long side here (in the Disaggregated report at least) If I see some bullish PA above the recent low I will be ...

Soybeans I like this market from the long side. Fundamentally, we have bullish conditions in the Classic, CIT and Disaggregated COT reports. We are also approaching a very bullish seasonal time of year. From late Jan to end of Feb a noticeable ...

Fundamentally I have a bullish bias but there is no price action yet to suggest actually getting long......it will come but there may still be another leg down. Either way I'm just gonna follow price

Griz, Weekends a few hours mostly sorting COT data and then weekdays perhaps an hour a day.

Sugar Wow.....looking a little sick now. With yesterdays close below the recent swing low this could be in for quite a fall. This bar was on pretty solid volume as well. The weekly chart says it all. My fundamental indicators are a bit mixed at the ...

Well it looks like the Bear scenario has played out pretty firmly here. It would appear that the bears are back in control and a resumption of the trend is in effect. Given the size of the rejection up here the stop loss risk required is a little ...

Wheat (Chicago) ZWH13 Currently in a pretty strong downtrend. The CIT and Disaggregated reports have the hedgers index at 100 for both. So a bullish warning is in play. I have a sell signal today (trend following) and there are a number of reasons ...

Ihor, Thank you for your kind words. I am glad you are getting some benefit from my thread. In some ways I was sort of waiting for this question to arise. Everyone wants to know the performance of a system, this is natural and I am (was) no ...

O, Always at these 'line in the sand' points on charts you get two tradable setups. It's a matter of picking the correct one and riding it usually for a good risk reward ratio. I had been bullish this market for some time. What concerns me from the ...
