Again we are seeing a swing up and swing down scenario - frustrating and can very dangerous for traders as losses can quickly add up. So far the portfolio is positive and no losses as yet but with this type of scenario we will get caught So minimizing the loss and assessing the risk is a MUST
sp500 emini - 807 did not trigger and we have been stopped , emini is trying to find momentum either way - the mathematics i use still suggest weekly is downward; daily will follow.
stopped at 829.25 and revered position with a lighter position on - trend is still down. Buy at 829.25. Holding for Fridays move , I'm still expecting another sell here something should should cause the market to sell off again.
DOW - well DOW was kind - it made a low of 7799- not bad hey ! bought and reversed position at 7800 nearly perfect 1 tick . holding position with locked in profit stop .. this still has potential to sell off for Friday .. wait and see
STOXX - add to (pyramid) on top our position as setup was good sell off with a nice entry. holding position 2327 high has not broken , expect weakness and therefore a possible sell today
GOLD - still struggling to rally 926 was the high, 929 was our target , a little shy off our mark. However profit stop hit and all out at 920.5 we are flat , gold mathematics on price movement has slowed down and a technical sideways move is apparent.
Silver - Still holding Silver on a buy position - seems to be caching up to Gold's last few days of upward pressure.
Soybeans - has done exactly as predicted and followed through with a huge rally, 1000 is a human point of interest and at this stage my level also suggest a sticking point in Resistance.
wheat - buy at 552.25 a attentive buy as risk is still high and wheat's lack of direction isn't worth committing large contract numbers - profit stop in
Crude Oil - annoyed with myself - had a long entry here at 44.04 but risk was too high and trend Daily is still trying to confirm. 1st mistake but no loss -
EURUSD - low was 1.2746 a little shy from my level of 1.2710 - as stated the sell off just confirms my math on price and pressure is spot on here ill wait to see if a target price is hit for Friday. Stop is tight now don't want to give up this nice sell.
GBPUSD - great news here met our target and finished strongly 1/2 position sold out and waiting for ideal setup level past 1.4807 . we may get a reversal Friday as again it may get very close but not touch the level.
This trading journal is meant to give an idea of ADV Symmetrics and capability of running a portfolio. So far a great start but like any system can and will incur a loss. Careful money management and risk allocation is paramount to surviving market losses.
