Heres a 1 hour chart of the dow..
The sideways move dont look so bad on this time frame.Theres a flag formation on this and look at how the top of the flag is acting like a resistance. Perfect.

Hourly chart

Remo,

Many thanks for your replies. :)

Perhaps I am doing it wrong. But to keep losses small (2% e.g.) I only go £1 per point) :S

But yes, profits are small, losses are small.

This is why I stopped trading for a long while, its so time consuming and when you add up all the profits, and take off losses (although small), you begin to wonder. :woohoo:

I have been looking again recently to trade more (after training cocker spaniel :cheer:

Perhaps emotions are more severe when trading smaller amounts? Always chasing the profit??

This is where I get stuck with trading. (i know about the 3 contract rule, but i only do a £1 per point) (£3 per point is to much of a loss)

Traders advice please.

I entered at the breakout, sold at 16000 for profit.

Do I re-enter now? or wait for re-test? Am itching to get back in? Dont want to miss 600 odd points.

I could enter above 16030 for another breakout.

Help please.


hi LTV
when betting small positions like £1 a point you are at a disadvantage. You cant take any profits or be really greedy. The 3 contract rule is there to take out the emotion :sick: ..
with regards to the best level to go long now.......Thasts going to be a re-test of 15855...Thats the best level to go long.
You can try and re-enter on a breakout trade at 16030 but thats not the best level. Its a good level for a top up when your betting with the trend. The risk are more obviously as your entering at the resistance but if it does break then there is a good chance that it may fly.

good luck

I hope you are right of course Remo, but I'm in two minds...

I don't remember where I saw S&P chart recently, but it did make me wonder... So I had a look at the DJI, and admittedly although isn't the most polished of charts, it did show a rising wedge, so we might have a few more points, but perhaps a re-trace (if not a big correction) is due.

Who knows anyway!



O/T Personally, I'm peeved at not taking a look at Hong Kong and China, even UBS were calling it... Could have been a nice earner... Oh well! :-)

I hope not... :angry: :angry: I want this to motor on as i dont want any corrections as ive taken a few long term positions(till the christmas rally is over). It will mean closing a few of them if it starts to head back down to the test zone. For once i just want this to motor on. :cheer: :cheer:

I thought this may be interesting for some. :cheer:

2009
The Christmas rally started on 2nd November and by 31st December the peak achieved was 902 points

2010
The Christmas rally started on 29th November and by 31st December the peak achieved was 696 points

2011
The Christmas rally started on 28th November and by 31st December the peak achieved was 1096 points

2012
The Christmas rally started on 16th November and by 31st December the peak achieved was 894 points

2013
??????? As there was no low formed yet and based on the previous low ,the low may have been 9th October so the Christmas rally may have started well early.

Bottom line is
since we have clearly broken the channel there is good reason to think the dow can put another thousand points on this rally by Christmas :cheer: :cheer:


Fingers crossed ;) ;)

Hi longterm_view
thats the problem with 24 hour charts ,you cant really use them to trade accurately. I will never trade of a trend line based on IG Charts.

I use IG charts and because they use 24 hourm it seems to ruin trend lines etc. (I have asked if you can only have market hours but IG have yet to comment)

If you see my chart for hourly, I put a line on 22/10 & 7/11 highs, i then copied the line for lower and put on 15/10.

In your chart neither line has been breached, but in my chart, both trend line have been breached. More than once :woohoo: :woohoo:

Dow looks like its going to breakout today from the top of the channel. Due to the close proxemity to the top of the channel it's likely to breakout so shorts on first attempts should not be executed.


dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/4899609/dow14thnov2013.png

The top of the channel is at 15852 . So a breakout above this could signal a move to 16850 as the channel is 1000 points long.

i think its time to revisit this post from back in Mar 13 (when Dow was breaking out of its all time highs from 2007) and provide an update on the chart. B)

The breakout was indeed powerful, where to next and what will happen thereafter, maybe the devil is in the detail and scattered in the past to forecast the future.... :evil: just something to think about, we could be in going into blue sky territory and upper targets are becoming much harder, i would not discount the bull extending either..there is wave count to support it, we'll just have to see if another breakout and confirmation of it takes place or not.

Here's a quick analysis of the Dow when it has taken out it's previous (all time) highs over the years...

on the chart you will see: est breakout targets based on previous range vs actual top price and the respective difference, hopefully the chart is self explanatory....

apart from what i have put on the chart, there are some other observations to be made with respect to the length of time it has taken the dow to get to it's previous highs and once it has, the results thereafter as an example....

dl.dropbox.com/u/40497882/dow_historical%20breakouts.JPG

just something to ponder ;) :evil: :whistle:

The top of the channel is at 15839.
worth a short during market hours on a first attempt basis with a 25 point stop.
im using tight stops as if its a real breakout then the dow could head upwards fast.
Ill be looking to go long on the back test of a breakout if it happens.

Hello,

Has the Dow broken out of its channel?

On phone, so struggling to see. :blink:

It's at an all time high, although its not in market hours. :silly:

Updated Chart for Dow - Mega bull ?

Dow has not even got going yet and is lagging behind spx/naz, when it does it will do with a vengance....

~210, 252 & 280 for pullbacks area's to watch short term - as per the chart and Remo's post below, real strength will come on a break n hold of the upper range.

those that frequent that live chat room - i've put 2 counts in the chart, both bullish that i've been talking abt - commentary in chart.....

Check the beautiful channel in play :cheer: :cheer: Its 1100 points long so when this decides to breakout then there is 1100 points profit for take ;) ;) This channel has been in play for 7 months so when this does break its going to be fast and furious ;) ;)
Generally these channels should break in the direction of the trend.Its like a continuation.
You can trade this ether way thou but im favoring an up break :cheer: :cheer: .

Only trade the dow if you know what you are doing as this index is not for the beginner. :dry:

Futures are getting hammered right now...

Predictable - due to the "No Deal" news over the weekend...

(someone's been left holding the back after some heavy buying on Thurs / Fri).

Interesting times...

That's also a doji on the daily cash chart to support the bull hammer on the futures one (hammer with close higher than open).

So, is this a "B" wave or something else? ;-)

I've also been waiting for that trendline (the spx equivalent actually) but there's also a possibility of a hammer yesterday (not a perfect one) at the 61.8% Fib and historic support/resistance at 15073:

Hold the press, here's why:

Dear Mr. President,



I am writing to withdraw my name for consideration to be Chairman of the Federal Reserve.



It has been a privilege to work with you since the beginning of your Administration as you led the nation through a severe recession into a sustained economic recovery built on policies to promote employment and strengthen the middle class.



This is a complex moment in our national life. I have reluctantly concluded that any possible confirmation process for me would be acrimonious and would not serve the interests of the Federal Reserve, the Administration, or ultimately, the interests of the nation’s ongoing economic recovery.



I look forward to continuing to support your efforts to strengthen our national economy by creating a broad based prosperity and to reform our financial system so that no President ever again faces what you and your economic team faced upon taking office in 2009.



Sincerely yours,



Lawrence Summers

Jeez! I guess the markets can't stand him (with good reason one supposes!)

Came back a few mins ago, logged on, and thought my eyes were deceiving me!

Dow futures up 185 as I type, and the FTSE isn't bad either with its futures up around 77 points.

:woohoo:

Any idea why?

I'm guessing weak USD is driving a mini-rotation. Happy to be corrected.

PS My little one's managed to get ill again on his return to nursery after only 2 days so I'm back on full time childcare duties for the next week or two at least so I'll have to remain on the back seat for now. Thanks for all your hard work.


I hope he gets better soon. :huh: our son never got ill. Until he went to nursery .Then it was one illness after the other. Nursery are full of germs ..it took him a while to build his immune system up . I know how you feel. We went through a lot of calpol. It will get better mate . ;)

I still think there's every chance the trade could work - 15340 is a key level, 315 is the 61 Fib and the trendline backtest:

What I meant by overbought is that the daily stoch is at 97.3 which is as high as it's been since 2009 (I know it can stay up there) and, more importantly, while the RSI is not that high, it is at the downtrend resistance from the initial bearish divergence.

We'll see. It's a very strong market so it is risky to short it.

Cheers.

Dow is massively overbought but they still keep buying it. Crazy market!!

Yep ...I dont place any trades on the dow in the last 30 mins of trading. On top of that the dow hit 15305 and then went down then went back up to 15305 and went down so that already means the level was getting weaker.So my order was only open till 8.30uk time so was lucky in that respect. 5 point out on the dow is like the level being hit .Back on the side lines waiting for that perfect trade again on the dow. :angry:

I wont say the dows over bought just yet as the dow has been in a sideways market since may and if you look at the rsi its still not that high yet.

Thanks remo. I thought one or two of them were quite large @ c. 60-80 pts...anyway, I don't think they all got filled during market hours and was wondering if there's a 3 bearish gaps up pattern forming at the 61 fib today.

Makes sense to me remo - stops above 340 as that's a strong area too.

Does anyone know if the Dow has gapped up each day for the last 3 days including today? TIA

Im gonna be shorting the dow when it hits 15310 B) .This is the level for today only.
Thats where the trend line back test will be for today.This level is also the 61.8 fib level from the high to the recent low so should be resistance as well. So theres 2 levels of resistance close together so worth a short on first attempt with a 40 point stop during market hours only.
The key to beating the dow is patients and NOT over trading. Its best to wait for key levels when trading the dow as its not a forgiving index if your day trading.

Folks,

This isn't a technical post, but it might have a bearing on technicals perhaps?

With Alcoa Out, Dow Gets a New Earnings Pacesetter

Alcoa is one of the ones heading out, and Visa and Nike (both terrific performers, especially when compared to Alcoa! are some of those coming in)

Not sure about about the adjustments and price weighing, but should be interesting!

(It proves by design, that these indicies are 'made' to rise over time, with the constant elimnation of the weak - the FTSE is another if you look at the stocks that comprised the UK index say, 10, 20 years ago).

Ive got my order to short on the dow at 14931 with a 25 point stop.
This looks to me to be the top of the trading range based on the hourly charts.


dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/4899609/dow4thsept.png

if it does breakout then likely to go higher so hence the tight stop.

Im looking to go long on a first attempt basis only on the dow at 14673 for today. This level changes daily.
This obviously has risk attached due to the Syria crisis but on a technical note worth the long on a first attempt basis during market hours. ;) I always use 40 points stop
