SIMSCI 05-Jul-2006

by Gav Leave a Comment

After Germany’s exit from world cup tournament, I had a big plate of spaghetti for my breakfast. Back to business, U.S market was closed for Independence day, mostly clueless asian markets are likely to be a little bit quiet. Well, at least, SIMSCI had a small gap down this morning. I am not bearish for the day, at least, I see local market crowd are still in pretty positive buying mood. When leading markets are closed, this small crowd of market participants do help in moving the intraday market.
No setup is formed, yet.

Again, I have decided to close the trade at breakeven point. 293, initial target was 293.5. This is the second day in a roll I exited a trade prematurely due to false signals in my exit setup and my mentality problem to move stop to breakeven point too early. I have done badly on these two trades. This is absolutely disappointing performance.

One trade closed. +0.1 point

I am looking for another entry opportunity.

SIMSCI 04-Jul-2006: Potential Long

by Gav Leave a Comment

I am looking for opportunity for possible Long position of SIMSCI today. Unless there is any surprising news released, I do not expect huge movement today. Sentiment is rather flat with positive biased. Setup is yet to be completed after first hour of trading.

It was not a good trade. My initial target of 290.5 was not achieved. Market is pretty resillent, but not strong enough for me to go long, yet. I have closed my short position at 291.3 after seeing Nikkei back to +120 gain and RSI of SIMSCI making higher lows again. Short position closed with +0.1 points gain.

Some thought on the ‘Waves’

by Gav 8 Comments

I believe there are profitable Elliot wave traders out there. No doubt. Though I have never met any of them yet. In fact, I have met a lot of wave analysts, not trader. I am not an wave trader and I definitely do not have bad feeling towards these wave analysts, I just have the feeling that they have complicated trading unintentionally. They are trying to view the market in a different, maybe, creative way. But, they create the confusion at the same time.
Trading should not be so difficult (after all, you are buying something with good potential upside and sell it when it is in high demand). And wave, to me, is sometimes over subjective and the element of prediction or you call it forecasting is too strong. Being always objective is difficult but it is necessary for trading. I have come back to the same point, straight trend line, support and resistance line are in fact enough for you to trade profitablely. I have never believe in market prediction in my whole trading life. To trade, I prefer to face the fact, what is happening in front of my eyes. Accept the fact, and act on it.
I have the same feeling towards Gann's stuffs as well. If you are confused, not sure about which wave you are in now, why bother to spend your time struggling on these waves?
Make trading simpler, and trade better.
