Gold Trades Update 14/3/19: + 4.55 units

T44 Gold Long Trail Stop Hit @ +1.45 units
T52 Gold Long Trail Stop Hit @ +3.40 units
T54 Gold Long Stop Hit @ -0.30 units

happy trading :slight_smile:

T55 Gold 30m Chart Long @ 1,302
As shown. Unfortunately I was a bit too conservative on my stop trailing since I am expecting Gold to hit near the 1322 area. So to find out if I am right or not, I have entered a 30m trade at 0.8units

NOTE: I only re-entered at 0.8unit risk to “test” if we supposed to still stay long. The Gold is forming an Bear Engulfing candle “at the moment” in the daily chart. If I am wrong, my trade will get stopped out, the short term trend line will be broken and by the time the day candle closes we will have a possible “D” point or “Right TIp” of the Day Bear Gartley I have been waiting for.

Although, I would much prefer for this “D/Right Tip” point to be at the 61.8% (same level as the Left Tip) there is no way I would miss trading this short opportunity!

T56 AU 2h Chart Long @ 0.7065
As shown.
I am bearish on the AU, however, while I wait for the main SHORT opportunity I am trying to ride this secondary rally on the 2H chart.

WHAT WENT WRONG HERE?
When looking back, I can see that the AU H2 showed a RSI Divergence, the second last hight was not taken with significant, hence this long trade had littler chance to succeed

T57 AU200 CASH: SHORT TRADE

T55 -0.8u
T56 -1u
when you rush you lose fast…

T58 COFFEE LONG TRADE

T59 GBP/JPY SHORT TRADE

T60 COPPER LONG TRADE

I recommend to wait for the 4H Candle to form a “Harami” before entering. I can’t wait another 2hrs since it is way past midnight here down under.

LONG TERM ANALYSIS AND CURRENT TRADES

After spending the whole weekend analysing all my products I have concluded with the following analysis and actions:

AU: SIDELINE
AU is at the bottom of a Monthly Range, which makes us “Bullish” in the long term. However, there is not set pattern yet to enter long. We will wait for “D” point of a Daily Bull Gartley if it forms or a simple retracement to a Fib % after the long term down trend line is broken

T62 AU SHORT: To be closed out

AU200: REMOVE FROM TRADING LIST
T57 AU200 SHORT: To be closed out

COCOA: BULLISH
This is my stand out. We will looking for fib retracements to enter LONG and to PYRAMID up to 2,100 area.

COFFEE: BULLISH. BUY “D” OF UPCOMING BULL GARTLEY (DAY CHART)
I believe Coffee is formed or is forming a Double Bottom at current levels. It has just broken the Day long term down trend line by having a Bull Day candle closing above it. It is NOT as strong signal, but I am already long. I will PYRAMID my trade (T58) on the “D” point of the upcoming Bull Gartley and every retracement afterwards

I do not have a target, except a Weekly RSI 70% or Divergence. We will be trailing our stop using major swings lows.

If I am wrong, and it spikes down to stop us out then we might skip this one and invest on other products.

COPPER: BULLISH
It has just broke out of its monthly / weekly range, and I believe we have 300 pips of movement here since this was the range size.

I have adjusted my stops down to give Copper more room in case of a spike.

Once again, I will PYRAMID if possible using Day or 4H Chart Fib retracements where possible

CRUDE OIL: SIDELINE

Crude Oil is on the A -> D Leg of a Long Term Bear Gartley. In the past I would’ve wanted to trade this leg using the 4h chart, however, as I previously mentioned, I am intending on “reducing my # of trades whilst increasing my stake per trade and to pyramid along the way”, for this to work I need to look at the long term “range for profits available”. And the most profitable trade is to SHORT the “D” point.

GJ SIDELINE T59 SHORT Let it Play Out then Staying Out
I will let my Short Trade play out and seek to exit on a Daily Bear Sign or weakness

GOLD: SIDELINE T61 Reduced Stake to 50%
I believe gold is within a long term flag that it’s reducing is range of movement as time passes, but this is in the long term. So keeping this in mind for the next months, we can still trade within the Daily/4H as discussed below.

I believe my gold trade has a 40% chance only of success. I believe the 50% fib + day bear engulfing set up is a “false” “D” point. I believe it should be in the 1,320 area. But I had not choice but to trade it just in case.

However, I will reduce my stake to 50% and seeing what happen. If stopped out, then I will wait for the right set up to Short

Happy Trading :slight_smile:

T63 COCOA LONG TRADE 5% risk @ 1660
We are now long on cocoa at 5% risk. As mentioned, on my above analysis, I am BULLISH on this commodity and will Pyramid adding to this trade using the Daily Chart.
Although I could’ve gotten a better price, I am changing my trading style from a “Swing Trader” to “Position Trader” and wanted to free up my week. I am reducing my # of trades, so you guys seeking “thrill and action” won’t find my posts as appealing. However, those of you that want to "detach from the computer screen and, like me, want to have more FREE time to enjoy life, will find my posts still of interest.

I will be adding the pictures for the pyramid trades of course. I just entered this trade now so I have time for the rest of the week you can find a better price since Cocoa should test the 618. I am placing my stop at the Last Week Chart Swing Low, but again, if you wish to be more aggressive and buy more contracts, then place your stop below last week’s high (1,616).

Happy Trading :slight_smile:

COCOA: LONG @ 1,668

AUD/USD 4H-CHART LONG TRADE SET UP

Please refer to my recent post under “Trading the Gartley -ABC” where I explained the bull gartley we just missed (a few days ago) with the AUD, plus the monthly BULLISH environment we have with this cross. The reason I was not willing to trade it yet was because it is in that “in-between-zones” however, I wouldn’t mind having a small trade here while I wait for the main break the main bull signal “DAILY CHART BULL GARTLEY”…but this is a few weeks away perhaps…

So, because I am personally not willing to stay up all night waiting for the Intraday Candle Signals anymore, reason why I am changing my style into a Position Trader (using Monthly->Weekly analysis and seeking Daily Chart entries), I have instead set up a Limit Order to buy the 62% Fib retracement. When doing this of course, and not waiting for a bull candle set up, one has to place the stop at the swing low.

happy trading

T64 AUD/USD LONG TRADE
As per my last post we are long in the AUD/USD
I am incline to be “BULLISH” in the long term with this cross, given my Monthly Chart analysis. Therefore, I will set up multiple TPs and try to pyramid on this trade along the way

For now we have:
BOUGHT Avg @ 0.7085
S/L below last 4H bull candle (below the 786 fib)
TP: Various
Risk: 1/2 unit

TRADES UPDATES:

T59 gbp/jpy Short: Took profits +1.1u (+145pips)
T60 copper long: It’s doing good at the moment and we should find out more soon…
T61 Gold Short: Stopped out -0.5u (-18pips)
T64 aud/usd Long: This is our star so far, now at break even and full unit invested with no risk. It hit 127% and 162% fibs. I am staying on this trade with no automatic TP.

COFFEE LONG:
I am not happy with my coffee long trade. I jumped too early but it is too late to jump out now. We have about 0.7units of paper loss so there is no point when there is a slim chance that the Coffee will turn around. I am still BULLISH on Coffee however, the matter is of “timing”. If I get stopped out then I will have no choice but to wait for a Bull Gartley before re-entering to avoid “keep getting it wrong a few times before I get it right”.

This is what’s happening: After further review, I noticed that the Monthly and Weekly charts HAVE NOT FORMED AN RSI DIVERGENCE YET, but they are due to. Since this needs to happen, this means Coffee has to make a new lower low whilst RSI making a higher low BEFORE TURNING OUR WAY. There is however no way (for me at least) to know what is this LOWER LOW price level, but I am almost certain it will stopped us out by a few pips then turn around as it happens :frowning:

In any case, we are in it and it is not a profitable proposition to close at 0.7units loss when there is as much as 30% chance of surviving… and have a nice reward later on.

So wait and see

COCOA: I am certainly bullish on cocoa however my mistake was to put all my line at once (5%) or equivalent of 2 units, instead of adding once I got further candle confirmation. I am considering reducing my risk on this one back to the usual 2.5%
I am 60% confident that it will bounce off the 786 which should’ve been our initial entry. PATIENCE PATIENCE PATIENCE is what I need to learn!
