RE:SIMSCI 16-June-2006: Potential Long:Trade Closed

I have closed Long position at 283.1. After watching price action at the area of day high (283.4), uptrend seemed to be getting weaker. This does not mean a reversal is kicking in, it just prompts me for profit taking. Notice about DI+, similar weakness was observed as well. To confirm this decision, I turned to 9-min chart.

A failure swing RSI was forming. This is the ugliest scene to me when holding Long position. Similiar situation was found in directional indicator as well. These conditions gave me a strong support to close my profitable Long position.

I might be wrong which might miss out bigger profit in the afternoon session. However, day trading is all about discipline and timing, I do not act on expectation. In fact, at 1130pm, my position was already in-the-money. Not so bad for 2-hour trading, a positive Friday with +1.2 gain.

SIMSCI 16-June-2006: Potential Long

Another three digit gain for DJ again. Positive opening of Nikkei , SIMSCI as well as Hang Seng is just expected. In the first hour of trading, SIMSCI, in fact, drifting down from open price. With both Nikkei and Hang Seng stays more than +300 points gain, I am looking for opportunity to establish Long position in the weakness of SIMSCI movement.

What a disappointing day. In fact , it was a ‘do-nothing’ day for me. SIMSCI futures was choppy and weak, even though Nikkie Futures were strong. No trade was made. I might be missing an entry at 275.4 around 415pm. I gave up the opportunity as I do not like the way market moved. The potential reward was not attractive enough for me to take risk.

No trade.

RE:SIMSCI 15-June-2006: Potential Long: Twisted, Potential Short

[11:29am]Here we go. I am twisting my mind again. Nikkei reopen and failed to push up further. SIMSCI has formed a base line at 274.7 and making lower highs. It is rather weak. Now, I am watching for short position closely.

It might end up with a choppy day instead.

Update [12:37pm]
Nikkei 12 min morning

I did not initiate a Short position in SIMSCI before lunch break. Nikkei Futures does not give me the confidence to go short. In 9-min a positive divergence of RSI is observed and in 12-min, it starts to ticking up. Volume is drying. I might be wrong and again, missing profitable trade, however, the risk of being stop by SIMSCI gap up in the afternoon is too high for me to take.

So far, SIMSCI intraday movement has been choppy. Though a descending triangle is formed, sentiment support is not strong enough. No position is established.

SIMSCI 15-June-2006: Potential Long

by Gav Leave a Comment

I am looking at Long position of SIMSCI this morning. However, it seems to be rather weak after morning gain. My buy order is still in the queue. Nikkei is closed for first session. I am watching for second session of Nikkei to confirm intraday sentiment.

Bottom line, current intraday chart formation does not suggest me to go for short.
